| klardotsh | which appears to solely stem from https://elixir.bootlin.com/linux/v5.17.11/source/drivers/gpu/drm/mxsfb/mxsfb_drv.c#L262. that error then gets followed up disabling power management for the device for the rest of kernelspace | 00:09 |
| vkoskiv_ | kfx: lovely. I don't think my php looked much better, to be honest :D | 00:13 |
| minute | klardotsh: that means that something could not be probed | 00:17 |
| minute | klardotsh: do you have another sd card? if you have some time to spare, i would like to ask you to flash the latest sysimage v3 again and boot that unmodified just to make 100% sure it is a hw issue | 00:18 |
| klardotsh | minute: sure, I can even use a different SD just to keep isolating any sources of weirdness. have a link to the image you'd like me to try? | 00:20 |

| * josch_ -> josch | 09:49 | |
| josch | minute: I wrote you an email with my shipping address for a replacement board to potentially fix my serial problem. Once serial works, I can also take care of bisecting the kernel to find out when hdmi stopped working. | 09:50 |
| minute | josch: cool, i'll take care of it today | 09:51 |
| josch | sweet :) | 09:51 |
| Boostisbetter | You know just as an aside, many people mention things like the SoC in the Reform is not that powerful, or they say that the RPI zero 2 can't be used as a desktop computer. In the case of the Reform is plenty fast and capable. The Zero 2 while kind of limited by the amount of RAM it has, can absolutely function as a desktop. The Penkesu I made, and using now to type this works just fine, and is pl | 09:55 |
| Boostisbetter | enty fast enough to be useful. | 09:55 |
| Boostisbetter | That said I'm looking forward to all of the SoC improvements minute has in the pipeline, but I just felt like saying that people are really wrong about what chips are capable of today. | 09:55 |
| minute | yeah, depends a lot on the configuration and software you need. chromium is fast because it makes optimal use of multicore and GLES, but something like emacs can be slow because a lot of stuff is single threaded. | 09:57 |
| sknebel | yeah, "desktop usage" is a bit vague too. is it "light web browsing + office documents"? does it include other specialized software? does it include multimedia tasks? | 10:00 |
| Boostisbetter | true, optimized software really helps, but you could argue that software should always be written such that it makes efficient use of the resources available to it | 10:00 |
| minute | yep. | 10:01 |
| Boostisbetter | Well I'm using the Penkesu to run Dino, a terminal, Librewriter, Chromium, and Geany all at the same time | 10:01 |
| Boostisbetter | sure because it HAS to use the swap there are minor slow downs when alt tabbing, but I mean these are not deal breakers. It is not like I can go to the bathroom in the time it takes. It is fully functional. | 10:02 |
| Boostisbetter | 'And in Chromium a Rocket Chat instance and a Discord tab are open. | 10:02 |
| sknebel | that is kind of impressive | 10:02 |
| minute | nice | 10:03 |
| Boostisbetter | This is why I am so excited about the Pocket Reform | 10:03 |
| Boostisbetter | Reform power in a smaller form factor | 10:03 |
| minute | i'm really looking forward to our 7" device as well yes ^^ | 10:03 |
| sknebel | (to take the chromium example, since its so optimized for using GPU, it gets seriously unhappy if the GPU is really bad. *cough* imx6 *cough*) | 10:03 |
| minute | i've stockpiled the usb hub chips for it yesterday and i'll also put them in an update reform motherboard | 10:04 |
| minute | sknebel: oh :3 | 10:04 |
| sknebel | imx6 just is old by now, and the GPU is already not good and then it has some hardware bugs making it worse. (for reference, an imx6 was used in the *first* Google Nexus tablet). but still has a large industrial user base, so people try a lot of things it struggles with :D | 10:06 |
| sknebel | minute: how are parts going for the next reform mainboard run in general? do you have replacements generally figured out where needed, or still up in the air? | 10:07 |
| minute | imx6qp? | 10:07 |
| sknebel | seen pretty much all variants, not sure which one the chromium trouble was with | 10:08 |
| minute | sknebel: still working on it, but usb huh was a big impediment that is now resolved. i will carry over lessons from the pocket design over to reform motherboard R-3 (or R-4? huh) | 10:08 |
| minute | usb huh -> usb hub | 10:08 |
| minute | i've also explored another variant supporting rk3588 som, but linux support for that is still very basic AFAIK | 10:09 |
| minute | my pipeline is something like: 1. pocket reform launch 2. reform mobo update incl ls1028a release (for a RYF version bundled with sm750 graphics perhaps). 3. rcm4 beta 4. finish 2 nlnet projects (kintex+camera) 5. "trad" keyboard 6. rk3588 | 10:12 |
| sknebel | ok, so new reforms is going to take a while still (not that that's surprising) | 10:15 |
| minute | not long though, as it is step 2 in my pipeline ^^ | 10:16 |
| minute | "just" need to get pocket going | 10:16 |
| minute | i could also parallelize by acquiring more kicad grinding experts | 10:17 |
| minute | (right now i'm the only person doing electronics design at mnt) | 10:17 |
| thum | I like part 2. of "my pipeline is something like: 1. pocket reform launch 2. reform mobo update incl ls1028a release (for a RYF version bundled with sm750 graphic [..]" :--) | 10:34 |
| minute | nice ^^ | 10:55 |

| ex--parrot | Rocket Chat kills my Ryzen laptop pretty quickly | 11:18 |
| sknebel | KDE has a native rocket chat client btw: https://invent.kde.org/network/ruqola (we use it at work and some of my coworkers got annoyed by the web-based version) | 11:26 |
| ex--parrot | :o | 11:30 |
| ex--parrot | and it's not just Electron? | 11:30 |
| ex--parrot | I actually wrote a whole Qt RocketChat client for the company I work for, the API is so horrendous | 11:31 |
| ex--parrot | amazing | 11:31 |
| sknebel | this is Qt too | 11:31 |
| ex--parrot | funny | 11:31 |

| vkoskiv_ | Hah. I was looking into fixing the names for the kbd/trackball in lsusb, but those are retrieved from some Big List based on the vendor/product ID, and not from the device. | 16:19 |
