mjwsmj, thanks for recording it, I had never seen plan902:27
smjnp, I think its a really good fit for the MNT reform02:28
mjwyou are a little harsh on poor little GNU/Linux though. I am happily using it to do development on my mnt reform. It isn't that slow :)02:28
smjYes, I tried to catch myself from being negative.  I didn't mention 'dietpi' and things like that, maybe a more purpose built distro will be better.02:30
mjwIt helps to run sway and not a full gnome desktop.02:31
smjagreed I like light weight window managers too02:31

bkeysjosch: So when you had Debian with EFI, were there any issues with kernel support on the hardware?14:26
joschbkeys: kernel support? there shouldn't be a difference how the kernel is booted in terms of what it supports.14:29
bkeysThat's good so hopefully the Fedora kernel will be the same and no custom kernel would be needed14:29
joschbkeys: you will have to apply some patches that are not merged mainline yet14:31
joschor otherwise your display will not come up14:31
joschhttps://source.mnt.re/reform/reform-debian-packages/-/tree/main/linux/patches14:31
bkeysWell Fedora has a guide on how to build a custom kernel. But I should get a TTY on the serial port, right?14:33
joschbkeys: yes, without it you cannot see why u-boot might not do the right thing out of the box :)14:33
bkeysjosch: Does the current sysimage use the EFI stuff at all?14:37
joschbkeys: no, you have to flash the image i linked you to yesterday14:38
bkeysminute: They didn't say what was wrong with it. I plan on sending an email and asking14:40
bkeysThey did a really good job of shipping it so that it wouldn't be damaged. Good sized box with molded sytrofoam and the whole Reform was in a anti-static bag14:40
bkeysjosch: https://source.mnt.re/reform/reform-boundary-uboot/-/merge_requests/8 this one?14:41
joschdepends what you want to do14:42
bkeysatm I just want EFI but I don't know where the SD card that had the sysimage on the Reform was14:42
bkeysatm I am on mainline Fedora on this pinebook pro still14:42
joschif you just want to try out distro_bootcmd use this one: https://source.mnt.re/reform/reform-boundary-uboot/-/jobs/809/artifacts/browse14:42
bkeysYep, distroboot + mainline Fedora14:43
joschit would be nice if you could build your own u-boot with this patch and make sure that indeed the saveenv command doesn't work anymore: https://source.mnt.re/reform/reform-boundary-uboot/-/merge_requests/814:43
joschlastly, because you messed up your environment by using saveenc, the following patch might help you because (if it works) this will ignore the environment that you previously saved:  http://paste.debian.net/1248948/14:44
bkeysYeah let me get the set up going again and get my bearings, this thing has been in the repair shop for 4 weeks14:48
bkeysMan it feels good knowing this thing can get repaired14:48
joschbkeys: I turned the last link into a MR: https://source.mnt.re/reform/reform-boundary-uboot/-/merge_requests/914:54
bkeysI'm trying to set up the serial connection14:56
bkeysI cannot remember which of the 2 pins give me serial14:56
bkeysOh, my SD card isn't in14:57
bkeysStill nothing14:57
bkeysWhat was the parameters on dd that I need to use on flash.bin?14:58
bkeysbs=1k seek=3314:59
bkeysFor now I will boot the old sysimage I have already downloaded as a sanity check15:02
joschbkeys: dd if=flash.bin of=/dev/mmcblk0 conv=notrunc bs=1k seek=3315:02
bkeysIt has the appearance that I am getting no serial output15:03
joschbkeys: maybe try switching RX and TX?15:04
bkeysI am15:04
joschSometimes the labels on the UART adapter are turned around and then it makes sense to try both options.15:05
joschBut your system boots otherwise?15:05
bkeysNo so far and nothing from serial either15:06
bkeysMaybe it's still set to emmc, although last I remembered the emmc had a valid uboot env on there it should show15:06
bkeysOkay I flipped the switch underneath the heatsink15:12
bkeysI dunno the screen lit up but there is no output15:12
bkeysNo serial output either15:12
bkeysOkay I got serial output15:13
bkeysThat is relieving15:13
joschwhat was the problem?15:13
bkeysMaybe my emmc is wiped?15:14
bkeysI take the SD card out and now I get no output15:14
bkeysAt least I think15:15
joschbkeys: what is the configuration of your dip switch? it should be set to ON15:15
bkeysRight now it is towards the middle of the computer15:15
josch??15:15
bkeysLike it is flipped away from the edge15:15
joschlike this? https://source.mnt.re/reform/reform-handbook/uploads/6e7a46b06df43e788f705b783bd46c15/17e7457e179e68e3c74ab15fb2b47e3ab8f2945d.jpeg15:16
