| Boostisbetter | does anyone have any idea about the performance delta that exists between the ix.8 and a pi zero 2 w? I mean it is clear that the ix.8 is more powerful, but I'm curious about how much of that has to do with the NVME I am using in my Reform. | 09:34 |
|---|---|---|
| ex-parrot | what storage are you using with the pi? an SD card will be much much slower than nvme most of the time | 09:46 |
| ex-parrot | pi 2 z w is quad core ARM cortex a53 clocked at 1ghz and 512mb of RAM. the CPU cores at least are similar to the reform | 09:48 |
| ex-parrot | tho I think the reform clocks it at 1.5ghz instead of 1ghz | 09:49 |
| ex-parrot | and there's a lot more cooling | 09:49 |
| Boostisbetter | yeah, exactly, but you can overclock the zero to 1.2ghz. The storage I/O is without a doubt the single biggest performance roadblock. | 09:53 |
| Boostisbetter | BUT, it is nice to see just how powerful the zero is if you can get around the I/O limitations. | 09:53 |
| ex-parrot | yeah pretty cool eh | 09:55 |
| Boostisbetter | lack of memory holds it back for sure. It chokes on large displays simply because it chokes on a lack of display memory | 09:55 |
| ex-parrot | I assume they're out of stock everywhere | 09:55 |
| ex-parrot | which is another issue | 09:55 |
| ex-parrot | every Pi thing is out of stock here for the next few months apparently | 09:55 |
| Boostisbetter | kind of. You can get them but from scalpers selling it for nearly triple the price and more. | 09:55 |
| ex-parrot | lovely | 09:56 |
| Boostisbetter | I was lucky with mine | 09:56 |
| ex-parrot | I got my first Raspberry Pi 1 as a souvenir when I was in Malaysia from a random shop at the top of Low Yat Plaza | 09:56 |
| sts-q | Hi, swaybar shows wifi connection quality, usualy like "NET 17%" or "NET x"... | 10:42 |
| sts-q | What is a good way to log this, say every 10m. Currently i use: | 10:42 |
| sts-q | nmcli -t -f rate,signal,bars dev wifi list |tr '\n' ':' | 10:42 |
| sts-q | Right, or any better ideas? | 10:42 |
| sts-q | (( My feeling is, signal is good (44%) after start up, ok as long as i don't | 10:42 |
| sts-q | touch the reform (33%) but get lost at some point when i use the computer.)) | 10:42 |
| sts-q | . | 10:42 |
| sts-q | I would like to install a larger antenna and am open for recommendations. | 10:42 |

| Boostisbetter | sts-q: check the MNT forum. There is an article there about wifi signal strength, and folks talked about the solutions they used, to include external antennas. | 10:56 |

| alex4nder | hey | 22:39 |
| alex4nder | ACTION dist-upgrades | 22:41 |
| alex4nder | did I hear correctly that someone has kernel packages for reform in upstream debian? | 22:51 |
| josch | alex4nder: not quite. vagrantc merged https://bugs.debian.org/1009858 so the official Debian kernel now boots on the reform but there is no display output yet (only serial) | 22:54 |
| josch | for display support, we have to upstream more patches | 22:54 |
| josch | once the patches are in linux next, we can backport them into the package built by Debian until they land in a stable release | 22:55 |
| alex4nder | ah ok | 23:00 |
| alex4nder | makes sense | 23:00 |
| alex4nder | what's the uboot situation look like in that case? uboot on eMMC/SD and kernel on the primary Debian filesystem? | 23:02 |
| + vagrantc (~vagrant@2600:3c01:e000:21:7:77:0:20) | 23:09 | |
| ex-parrot | morning | 23:09 |
| ex-parrot | that's great news | 23:09 |
| ex-parrot | historically I used flash-kernel on the novena but i'm not sure that's in vogue / necessary here is it? | 23:09 |
| josch | alex4nder: yes, the reform can load u-boot from sd or emmc and from there you can load kernel and initrd from sd, emmc, usb or nvme | 23:33 |
| josch | ex-parrot: flash-kernel is still the go-to but some people like vagrantc would like to see it abolished by a better solution :) | 23:34 |
| josch | ex-parrot: flash-kernel is used right now but not strictly necessary | 23:35 |
| alex4nder | josch: ah yah, I meant more from "what's going to be the idiomatic Debian installer method?" | 23:36 |
| josch | alex4nder: i haven't yet gotten the debian installer to work | 23:37 |
| alex4nder | I know that's usually open ended because of how hard it is to standardize SBCs/ARM/uboot setup | 23:37 |
| alex4nder | ok cool | 23:37 |
| josch | alex4nder: my plan is to add the reform2 as a target to debian-installer so that it shows up here: https://d-i.debian.org/daily-images/arm64/daily/netboot/SD-card-images/ | 23:40 |

| alex4nder | josch: sweet. let me know if you need any help; I've done a bunch of Debian installer hacking in the past, for a proprietary product | 23:50 |
