dustfingerAre the speakers quite quiet on the reform. Even though I have volume on full, everything sounds very quiet. Is that expected?01:48
chartreuseThey are, they're not the loudest laptop speakers out there. You can do some tweaking with the volume in alsa mixer with some of the gain, but you'll clip them eventually01:52

dustfingerdmesg is showing an error loading firmware from mimx-sdma and imx-pgc. https://bpa.st/UPFQ. I have not updated any software or firmware yet. I suppose the fix will be to just go ahead and update the firmware?02:04
dustfingerI am happy to post the whole dmesg output if that would help. I just copied lines with the errors.02:04
dustfingerThere are actually more errors down the list. Plus, at the very end, there is an MMU fault and looks like the gpu hung maybe. Here is my full dmesg output: https://termbin.com/etly02:10

minutedustfinger: the wm8960 one sometimes happens when the soundchip fails to initialize, but we have a workaround for it that automatically resets it again IIRC12:54
minutedustfinger: don't know about fan53555, doesn't sound like a problem12:54

dustfingerminute: Thanks. I see similar property look up errors for: phy-381f0040.usb-phy.0, pwm-backlight backlight, imx-pgc-domain.1 ( power-supply property), imx6q-pcie, platform regulatory.0. Are those all benign as well?12:59
minuteidk, do you run some nonstandard image? otherwise it's fine, the image is tested 13:03
minuteor do you have some bugs?13:03
dustfingerNo, it is the image that came on the SD card. I don't have any bugs that I am aware of. I have not modified anything yet and I noticed those errors. I just wanted to double check that those were nothing to be concerned about. I was curious of they were signs of hardware issues.13:04
dustfingerMy biggest concern is the error at the very bottom. etnaviv-gpu 38000000.gpu: recover hung GPU!13:05
dustfingerI am going to grab the latest SD image and try that.13:16
dustfingerminute: I seem to recall you mentioning the other day that you are working on the Layerscape LS1028A SoM. Are you helping to build the module, or something else? Or do I have your nick mixed up with someone else?13:18

minutedustfinger: rbz is doing the hardware part, i'm trying to debug things19:28

cinap_lenreknew: sigrids flickerfix, installer fixed19:30
minutewhat's the flickerfix? just curious19:37
cinap_lenrekissues with the lcdif19:37
minutedustfinger: hmmmm i wonder if settings are not installed?19:37
minutecinap_lenrek: oof19:37
cinap_lenreksometimes, i'd get fifo underruns causing it to shift the whole screen19:37
cinap_lenrekmy work around was to reduce the refresh rate19:37
cinap_lenreksigrid found the bit that makes the lcdif automatically recover19:38
cinap_lenrekso we can run back at natice refresh rate19:38
cinap_lenrekminute: was a nasty issue... it only appears after some hours....19:39
minuteoh :0 i remember that from the olden days even with linux19:39
minutewhen imx8mq was still new19:39
cinap_lenrekminute: yeah :)19:45
cinap_lenrekminute: btw, did you apply my patch?19:45
cinap_lenrekminute: for the mouse firmware?19:45
minutenot yet!19:45
minutebut thanks for the reminder, i'm putting it in a list19:45
cinap_lenrekno problem19:45
cinap_lenreki know how it is....19:46
minuteit's in the list now!19:46
cinap_lenrekminute: perfect19:46
cinap_lenrekminute: btw, you'r hanging around in berlin?19:46
minuteyeah i live there and MNT is also based there. here.19:46
cinap_lenrekminute: do you have like a place where you gather around there?19:46
minutei do not have a real "third place" since the pandemic19:47
minutebut we have a physical company19:47
cinap_lenrekoh :/19:47
cinap_lenrekall hackerspaces closed down?19:47
minuteno, i think they're kinda back up by now, but i... somehow didn't get used to hanging around there again19:48
minutealso, mo-fr i'm just crunching @ mnt and falling on my sofa dead at night19:48
minutemost saturdays my partner is visiting me at home, it's kinda like a routine since the beginning of this year19:48
minuteso i don't really have much social hangout opportunity 19:49
cinap_lenreki had a phase like this too19:49
minutefriday (two days ago) there was some diy music instrument thing at xhain where i almost went19:49
minutebut was too tired19:50
cinap_lenrektake care, social interactions are important for your mental health too19:50
minuteyeah it's true19:50
cinap_lenrekits fine if you crunch, but also take some breaks19:50
minutei do have a therapist and taking care of trying not to burn out and stuff19:50
minutemostly working sane hours now19:51
minutei still do have to power through for a while more to get MNT to financial stability19:52
cinap_lenrekdo you have employees?19:52
minuteyes, greta and anri (paul)19:52
cinap_lenrekyeah, thats a big responsibility19:52
minuteyeah19:53
minuteat work i can basically never slack off, i have a tight todo list for every day19:53
minutethat can be a bit draining, especially if things don't work out technically for a longer time19:54
cinap_lenreki can imagine19:54
cinap_lenrekbringup is totally non-linear :D19:54
minutethe ls1028a thing is pretty evil19:54
minutehaha yeah that describes it19:54
minutebut pocket is going well i think19:54
minutelots of pcbs coming in this week, lots of bringup and hair pulling will ensue19:55
minutebut yeah we should surely meet at some point19:55
cinap_lenrekmake sure to celebrate once ethernet says ping :)19:55
minutehehe yeah!19:55
minutehopefully no diff pairs swapped19:56
cinap_lenrekall right, going to buy some food19:57
Boostisbetterminute: I am pulling for you and the crew as well. Hope things go well this week and every week. Pocket stuff is going to be great! Stay pumped!!!20:36
minuteBoostisbetter: thanks!!20:37
joschminute: i hope you keep maintaining a work life balance that works for you so that you continue producing great products and enable me to throw more money into your direction :)21:06

dustfingerBoostisbetter: I have not tried sway yet, but I will. The tiling windows manager that I normally use is exwm, so I will probably also set that up.23:36
dustfingerminute: You are lucky to be a part of the Layerscape LS1028A SoM project. It would be interesting to debug the hardware / firmware.23:39
dustfingerminute: I thinkn they are installed. I was able to select a number of settings. When I selected backgrounds it hung up, but I was able to eventually move pst it. Then something further down hung it up for good and it crashed. I will test again later. I am working now :-(23:40
dustfingerminute: s/I thinkn they are installed/I think the settings are installed/23:41
minutedustfinger: how am i lucky?23:41
minutedustfinger: i think i know that issue with the backgrounds, it just takes forever to load for some reason23:42
cinap_lenrekhe thinks pulling your hair out all day re-re-re-re-re-re-reading obscure linux code and 9000 page long manuals and still nothing working is a priviledge23:44
minuteheh23:45
dustfingerminute: I think you are lucky because you contributing to a really awsome open source project. Plus, you must have quite a bit of firmware knowledge to be debugging the SoM.23:46
cinap_lenrekall this now arm soc monkey business is bizzare...23:49
cinap_lenrekin hindsight, we had it all so easy with pc's23:49
dustfingerminute: Are you paid to work on the project or is it all volunteer? In a past life I was a C++ dev and I have some C experience as well. It has been a long while since I did any assembly though.23:49
cinap_lenrekwell, like it shipped with crappy firmware and had obscure legacy interfaces23:50
dustfingerminute: These days most of my dev time is in javascript.23:50
cinap_lenrekbut you didn need to worry about anything, and everything basically was kept more or less compatible at the hardware level23:50
cinap_lenrekand this stuff was well known and understood23:50
cinap_lenrekat least the firware interface was standartized23:52
