minutecinap_lenrek: i've read "megamix" before and wondered what that is00:00

cinap_lenreksounds like a dj set ;)00:30
cinap_lenrekjust found it funny00:31
cinap_lenrekits in the imx8mqrm00:31
cinap_lenrekin the gpc_pgc controls00:31
minutehaha yeah00:33
cinap_lenrekdamn, doesnt seem to work00:38
minutewhatcha trying?00:38
cinap_lenrekso i'm having issues reseting the dphy00:38
cinap_lenrekas soon as i touch dphy regs the machine freezes00:38
cinap_lenrekso i thought, well, must be some clock not enabled00:39
cinap_lenrekthen i found the gpc controller which has a power-up bit for the mipi dphy00:39
cinap_lenrekso tried that00:39
cinap_lenrekbut still, thats not it00:39
minuteoh. but that's a common issue yeah, freeze if something's bus clock is not on00:41
cinap_lenrekno dice01:01
cinap_lenreki mean, theres only a single clock gate01:01
cinap_lenrekCCGR9301:01
cinap_lenrekand then there are MIPI_DSI_PHY_REF_CLK_ROOT, MIPI_DSI_ESC_RX_CLK_ROOT, MIPI_DSI_ESC_CLK_ROOT01:02
cinap_lenrekDISPLAY_APB_CLK_ROOT, DISPLAY_AXI_CLK_ROOT< DISPLAY_RTRM_CLK_ROOT, DISPLAYDC8000_CLK_ROOT, DISPLAY_DTRC_CLK_ROOT01:03
cinap_lenrekfrom the docs, CCGR93 only coveres the DISPLAY_* clocks01:03
cinap_lenrekbut i'v basically ensured that all the root clocks are configured properly01:04
cinap_lenrektheres also a MIPI_CORE_CLK_ROOT01:05
cinap_lenrekbut its nowhere documented what the frequency should be01:05

cinap_lenrekdoes the dphy need the pixel clock running for register access?01:09
cinap_lenrekit seems strange01:09
cinap_lenrekafaik, for lcdif, the pixelclock would only run once i configure the lcdif in DOTCLK mode01:10
minutei don't think so01:19
minutethe linux driver needs IMX8MQ_CLK_DSI_PHY_REF01:20
minutewhat's phy_write(phy, 0x00, DPHY_LOCK_BYP);01:22
minutealso, there's a bunch of resets https://source.mnt.re/reform/reform-boundary-uboot/-/blob/variant-emmc-nvme-boot/drivers/video/mipi_dsi_northwest.c#L24801:27
cinap_lenrekoh01:31
cinap_lenrekits using a different set of registers for the resets01:31
cinap_lenreki thought these where done by the SRC01:31
cinap_lenrekok01:39
cinap_lenrekbut whats sim_base?01:39
cinap_lenrekits passed in to the setup function, but it appears nowhere to be used01:39
cinap_lenrekthe only reference to "sim" is in the ccm section01:42

joschminute: could we add a sysimage-v3 generated for Debian testing instead of unstable? I'd not really agree with "ready for daily use" as long as we use Debian unstable as the base because unstable (as the same suggests) can contain horrible bugs that could thrash your whole system. Using testing is not 100% safe from that either but I'd rather recommend people to use Debian testing as a "rolling release" 18:14
joschthan unstable which can break your whole machine at any point.18:15
vkoskivIf my system gets trashed, I'll just restore from a backup!18:15
vkoskivAnd all my code is on a git server somewhere anyway18:16
joschSure, for experienced users, unstable is much less of a problem. :)18:16
joschOr maybe we can at least install apt-listbugs into the sysimage-v3 so that for every "apt-get upgrade" the user is presented with all the release critical bugs in the packages that they would upgrade to.18:17
+ littlebobeep (~alMalsamo@gateway/tor-sasl/almalsamo)18:17
joschJust recently we had a dpkg upload that led to systems becoming unbootable...18:18
minutejosch: sure, how could we do it?18:19
minutejosch: apt-listbugs sounds better tbh18:19
joschOkay, that's easy. I'll file a MR.18:19
minuteour complexity will increase soon as we will add more device form factors (at least 1 ^^) and processors18:20
joschI'm a bit afraid that the current CI setup will not scale that well with that in mind because it stores all the artifacts in a tmpfs permanently.18:20
vkoskivIf one were to upgrade to the RCM4 variant, would the expectation bet to run raspbian on there or are there plans to support all the platforms in the reform system image?18:21
minutevkoskiv: the latter. i don't think stock raspian is an adequate user experience, it doesn't even use wayland18:21
vkoskivFrom the little I've seen of the reform image, it is very obvious that it is very detail-oriented18:22
minuteyeah18:22
vkoskivThe utility scripts and the initial setup looks so lovely :D18:22
minutethanks, the goal is to be welcoming ^^ and i want to improve that even more18:22
vkoskivMy unit is estimated to arrive on monday. Though it's shipping to my parents' house, so I'll see when I'm able to go there to play with it.18:22
vkoskivHopefully on monday, but I'm feeling a cold coming on possibly :S18:23
minuteugh18:23
vkoskivRegardless, the start of my MNT journey is imminent.18:23
bkeysOkay booting the new image now18:24
vkoskivOver the last few months I've switched completely over to Linux from macOS, and I've got a development setup that is quite productive now.18:24
vkoskivI've also larped using the reform by just using my old 2005 Fujitsu laptop which is similar in size18:24
vkoskivBut much worse in performance18:24
vkoskivSo the reform will be a nice upgrade.18:24
vkoskivAnd I know that my workflow will run well on there, because it works fine on the old 2005 machine.18:25

bkeysYeah I didn't order a wifi card from you but I have a wifi card that works18:35
minutebkeys: that part of the manual is outdated unfortunately as with v3 we switched to networkmanager. so you can use `nmtui` for example18:35
bkeysI'll just do it in gnome18:35
minuteah18:35
minutegnome is easy yes18:35
bkeysI like KDE, so if it can run gnome I should be able to run KDE18:36
minutenot sure if KDE works nowadays18:36

minutelast time i checked (longer time ago) it didn't18:36
bkeyson wayland or x11?18:36
minutewayland18:36
bkeysIt's terrible on wayland18:36
minutexserver does not work in general18:36
minuteonly via the trick in reform-windowmaker18:36
minute(it uses cage and xwayland)18:36
minuteso kde could work with that too18:37
bkeysI have not used gnome3 in forever18:37
bkeysBut I don't see my cursor18:37
minutehuh18:37
minutewith stock v3 image from the link above?18:37
bkeysYes18:37
minutei tested it a few days ago18:37
minutehow did you start it, just `gnome`?18:37
bkeysYes18:37
bkeysNothing special18:37
bkeysI hope my trackball is fine18:38
minutedo you have a DIY kit?18:38
bkeysYes18:38
minuteah, so maybe trackball is not hooked up properly? what if you connect a USB mouse?18:38
minutealso, the trackball already works in the console18:38
minutenormally18:38
bkeysIt goes into Ul218:38
minutemaybe it's programming switch is still on?18:39
minute(trackball's)18:39
bkeysI never flipped a switch on it18:39
minuteyeah, but maybe from the factory (us)18:39
minute`lsusb` should show `Bus 001 Device 004: ID 03eb:2041 Atmel Corp. LUFA Mouse Demo Application`18:40
bkeysIs it sw7 that needs to be flipped on?18:41
minutebkeys: off18:42
minutethere's only one switch on the trackball18:42
bkeyssw is off18:42
minuteok18:42
minuteif it is on or no firmware flashed, you would see DFU bootloader in lsusb18:42
minuteit's possible that the sensor cable is loose, that is a common issue18:43
minuteso you could replug that18:43
bkeysLet me turn it back on and run lsusb18:43
bkeysminute: I see "LUFA Mouse Demo Application"18:44
bkeysIn lsusb18:44
bkeysI run windowmaker, I see the cursor but it doesn't move with the trackball18:44
bkeysMoves fine with USB mouse though18:45
minutebkeys: lufa mouse demo application is good though18:46
minutebkeys: maybe the sensor is dirty/smudged? when pressing reset button on the trackball, does it flash once? (through the trackball keys)18:46
bkeysIm taking the bottom off18:47
minuteyeah18:48
bkeysYep the cable wasn't on there good18:49
bkeysThat explains that18:49

bkeysOh no18:50
bkeysI saw a bit of smoke come out; hopefully nothing got fried...18:50
minutesmoke? :O18:51
bkeysIt looks like it came from the som18:51
bkeysI unplugged the Ul2 line from the trackball18:51
bkeysI thought I was fine18:51
minuteloose screw or other particle somewhere shorting something?18:52
bkeys1 cell is showing up as ???18:52
bkeysAm I safe to unplug the power cables to the carrier board?18:52
bkeysAnd can I still turn it on with 1 battery on ???18:53
bkeysDang it...18:54
bkeysWell I am booting up18:55
bkeysI can boot fine at least18:55
bkeysTrackball works18:55
bkeysminute: Well, how do I know which battery to pull out?18:56
+ littlebobeep (~alMalsamo@gateway/tor-sasl/almalsamo)18:56
bkeysminute: So my guess as to what happened is something got fried because I have one battery that is gone and a few others are reporting 2.2V; the computer boots up fine. I hope it's just a matter of replacing some 18650s but I suspect it's that the board is damaged19:05
bkeysI don't think the battery discharged in a fraction of a second19:06
bkeysWell I put it on the charger and all of the ones that said 2.2V are now back at 3.3V with all of the other ones. So that is a relief, maybe it is just a ruined battery in which case no problem19:08

bkeysOkay, so I unplugged the battery board and removed the 4; I still get a flashing ??? on the one battery. I see what happened19:16
bkeysI tried to unscrew the trackball and it shorted something out19:16
bkeysThe battery itself is fine. I suspect since I unplugged the battery board and still get a flashing ??? that something is fried on my main board which is where the spark and smoke came from19:17

minutebkeys: flashing "???"?19:27
minutebkeys: hmm maybe you have very old lpc/keyboard firmware?19:27
minutebkeys: check that you update lpc and keyboard firmware, pointers are in the forum. carriers currently hard to replace (chip shortage)19:28
minutei am now in holiday mode till monday19:28
bkeyswill do; i just took it apart and I see no visible burns. Not that that is very indicative of much19:31
bkeysI mean its 1 battery so I can live with it for a while; I'd still want to fix it somehow either way. But I will try what you said19:32
bkeysJust a flashing ??? and battery icon is unsettling19:32
minutebkeys: that is old firmware19:33
minutebkeys: ??? means charge status in general is not known, it does not mean 1 battery is bad19:33
minutebkeys: the current firmware does not show this.19:33
minutei mean, it doesn't have blinking things19:33
minuteyour unit must have been sitting at mouser for a long time19:34

bkeysminute: No the battery itself is fine19:44
bkeysBut I can remove the battery from where it shorted and the voltage stays the same regardless of it's being there19:44
bkeysSo something must have gotten burnt when I shorted it. I think it looked like the spark and puff of smoke were under the heat sink19:45
bkeysBut I even took the SoM off and I didn't see any scorch marks. You don't think this is possible for a person to fix with a soldering iron? I imagine what got burnt is a lot smaller than that19:45
minutebkeys: till next week, just remove all batteries and run on the power brick and update all firmware. then i can help you debug further19:46
bkeysOkay; is it your guess as well that something got physically damaged?19:48
bkeysAnd according to your sticker, mine is #20419:51

minutebkeys: yeah, maybe a trace on battery board got burnt, that is easy to replace20:05

bkeysYeah I got the new firmware on there and the battery still shows up as missing. But at least it's not blinking at me anymore20:14
bkeysjosch: Yeah if I had this fix this wouldn't have happened20:14
bkeysExcept he was lucky, his battery board got broke; my carrier board is what is damaged I am pretty sure20:16
bkeysCause I can swap the cables from each battery board around and the error is still there20:16
joschoh no... i really should apply this fix to my unit as well20:17
bkeysI'd suggest it. I should have unplugged the battery boards but for some reason I was concerned20:24
bkeysI flipped my carrier board over and I see no scorch marks there either20:24
