kfxbad news for them, then, since intel dropped it00:22
mntmnoh :300:22
nockoAlso, only approx. 10th gen seems to support it... IDK what percentage of "active" installations that represents, but I doubt it's large.00:26

kfxnocko: basically, 6th through 10th generation intel cpus support it.  anything newer drops it (with the exception of gemini lake SoCs)01:54
kfxbut it doesn't matter if you have it or not because it's almost entirely broken01:55

bluerisemntmn: How's the CM4 adapter coming? ;) (I probably get on your nerves with that)02:35
mntmnbluerise: will order next rev this week ^^02:36
bluerise:D Let me know if you need any support02:36
mntmncool ok02:58
blueriseUEFI RK3566 Support is progressing well02:58
bluerisehttps://github.com/jaredmcneill/quartz64_uefi02:59
blueriseHDMI works, SD card works, Ethernet is WIP, and I'll be finishing eMMC soon02:59
bluerise(for UEFI)02:59
kfxthe story of arm:  new year, new SoC, never look back02:59
blueriseYup03:00
blueriseit never ends03:00
kfxI was hoping for more stability from the reform, but I guess the soc will just sit on the shelf with the pinebook pro everyone abandoned last year03:00
blueriseHm?03:00
blueriseThe i.MX8MQ in the Reform is one of the more stable SoCs03:01
mntmnyeah03:01
kfxas someone who isn't a developer, it doesn't do me a lot of good if the developers move on03:03
blueriseRK3399 is also one of the more popular SoCs, and Pine64 even created a new product (Pinephone Pro) with the RK3399, so that's also nice.03:03
blueriseTrue03:03
kfxthat's kind of my point03:04
kfxlots of rockchip products are popular, but none of them develop a mature ecosystem, because the development community gets about 80% of the functionality implemented and then they get new SoCs 03:05
kfxthe pinephone is probably the most egregious example, as it still barely works03:06
kfxand the pinephone pro is almost entirely incompatible with it03:06

blueriseyeah I didn't even look at the pinephone, the processor already outdated 5 years ago, so I wonder why they even tried that shit.03:06
bluerisethe pinephone pro design is much better. better controllers used03:07
bluerisemaybe they needed the design experience....03:07
kfxthe processor is outdated only when compared to thousand-dollar android flagships, which is not the market segment most of the world lives in03:07
mntmni think with the next sysimage release (planned for end of next week as beta), we're gonna have a very stable imx8mq platform with upgradable debian etc03:07
bluerisecompared to that the rk3399 is completely outdated as well03:07
bluerisebut it's like you use an AMD Athlon from 10 years ago for a phone instead of a current Intel Atom03:08
bluerisesure I don't expect a Ryzen lol03:08
bluerisealso, you can't ever compete with android flagships03:08
kfxare software bounties still a thing?  I wonder how much I'd have to offer for early-boot video on the reform03:08
mntmnand i'm still pretty fond of imx 03:08
mntmnkfx: well, we can talk about it03:09
mntmnkfx: mnt needs money and i could potentially prioritize some things differently03:09
bluerisethose (mostly) Qualcomm SoCs are just way ahead of any other SoC you can get. usually QC has their Linux ecosystem ready when the chip is released, while for the Rockchips you wait a year to get a chip and only then people start getting stuff ready03:09
blueriseit's a race the 'developer ecosystem' can't ever win03:10
+ mtm (~mtm@c-73-27-62-116.hsd1.fl.comcast.net)03:10
blueriseand also... we're not paid, so,...03:10
kfxrockchip also makes weird self-limiting decisions with their SoCs 03:10
- nsc (QUIT: Ping timeout: 240 seconds) (~nicolas@i5C7442D3.versanet.de)03:10
kfxwhich is the main reason I don't really like them.  they leave a lot of functionality on the table just by leaving traces out03:11
mntmni also would never go rockchip only with reform03:11
mntmnanyway, a discussion for another day03:11
mntmnit's 3am i shouldn't be awake ^^03:11
kfxthey engineer to a feature-set, and I get that, but arm is just going to always be a mess unless and until someone figures out how to entice vendors to adhere to some minimal standardization practices03:12
mntmngood night (in CET)03:12
kfxgood night03:12
+ nsc (~nicolas@i5C7448DF.versanet.de)03:12
kfxthe two things I'd pay the most for are early-boot video on the reform, and a fully-functional openbsd port to the 'default' config03:13
* nsc -> Guest193103:13
kfxbut I don't have the cash to move markets, really03:13
blueriseinteresting, someone interested in OpenBSD03:16
blueriseI have been trying and failing for a while on early-boot video https://github.com/bluerise/u-boot/commits/mntre-disp03:17
kfxI prefer it to linux when I'm doing unix-like stuff, and openbsd code tends to be easier to understand when I'm trying to figure hardware stuff out for 9front.  I've managed to get wifi cards to power on under 9front... sooner or later I may even figure out how to get them to work03:18
blueriseOpenBSD works quite well on the i.MX8MQ, if it wasn't for the MIPI-DSI display03:18
blueriseI have like 30,000+ OpenBSD-based i.MX8MQ machines out there in the wild, but none of those use MIPI-DSI03:19

Boostisbettermntmn, there are two washes in the display. Do they go on the bottom center screw posts? I took off the display cover and didn't realize they were there. I heard a shuffling noise everytime I closed and opened the display, so I opened it up and found those 2 washers. I though I saw an imprint on the 2 botton center posts so that is where I put them again, but I just wanted to make sure that was c10:40
Boostisbetterorrect. 10:40

ruffmntmn: why SPI devices are not described in DTB?18:27
mntmnruff: which spi devices?18:27
rufflike LPC link, it goes to SoM as MOSI/MISO/MCLK so it is a spi device from SOM perspective18:28
ruffor is it just a bitbang on gpio lines?18:29
ruffI don't have SoM schematics so have no idea how it interfaces SoC18:30
mntmnthe spi link to lpc isn't implemented (yet), that's the explanation ^^18:30
ruffyes, I saw this, so trying to understand whether it is just software implementation pending or there's some hw problem underneath?18:31
ruffIs there some place I can read in details about this interface (and its problems) to see if I can help with it somehow?18:32

flowy1Boostisbetter: have you used openbsd much? some things are just marvelous. as a longtime network/sysadmin, having used pf a bunch, i wish i never had to use anything else. it kind of made me despise anything network related if i can't use pf.18:41
flowy1i find i can make my way around an openbsd system much easier without having to resort to a million web pages, compared to linux. its userland is more tightly controlled and well documented.18:43
flowy1i'd say openbsd is a better match to mnt reform in terms of philosophy. i'd consider using it. who's trying?18:45
BoostisbetterI wouldn't mind it if their was an image for it, and everything worked. But I do think that Debian is a good middle ground. 18:50
ruffflowy1: I've used freebsd for some time, but with a time I more and more pulled in linux userland up to the point where ports started messing with linux so I gave up and switched to gentoo :)18:51
mntmnruff: i couldn't get it to work before shipping, but it could be simply driver/software issues18:51
ruffmntmn: ok so in other words there's no known problems other then lack of time so i can start from scratch? :)18:54
kfxI'm the opposite, ruff; when one of my pkg updates suddenly brought in bash as a dependency, I filed bugs 18:55
blueriseflowy1: OpenBSD runs on mine, if only the graphics worked...18:57
blueriseserial console alone is quite boring indeed18:57
blueriseThere's even a U-Boot mainline port (without video) that can easily boot OpenBSD with distro boot18:57
flowy1i guess that's a pretty serious effort, to get graphics working?18:58
blueriseit shouldn't be hard, but when you can't find the knob that's missing, then it's a hard search19:00
