joschbkeys: hi again! sorry for having gone afk yesterday without announcing that -- do you have time to debug your problem?15:23
joschi think you still have some problems with your dip switch15:23
joschyou told me that your switch position is the same as in the photo i sent you15:24
joschbut that would mean that it is set to OFF which would load u-boot from emmc which is not what you want15:24
joschjust to make sure that we are talking about the same thing, I made a close-up photo that shows the two possible settings for the switch: https://source.mnt.re/reform/reform-handbook/uploads/b12aa967bac4e10448bb5e937733b7af/anim_opt.gif15:25
joschi agree that it's quite hard to make out what the setting is without looking veeeeeery closely15:25
- qbit (QUIT: Quit: WeeChat 3.6) (~qbit@h.suah.dev)15:44
bkeysjosch: Well right now my worry is I can boot to Linux, and do everything in tty but I get no graphical output on the screen16:06
bkeysBut the screen does light up16:06
joschbkeys: which image is on your sd-card?16:06
joschbkeys: i assume you currently use your reform via serial?16:07
bkeyshttps://source.mnt.re/reform/reform-system-image/-/pipelines/606/builds16:07
bkeysYes but I am also able to SSH into it which is nicer16:07
bkeysI want to make sure something with the screen isn't broken before I go back into uboot world16:07
joschbkeys: the image from that build "should" work but why did you choose such an old one?16:08
+ qbit (~qbit@h.suah.dev)16:08
bkeysI just chose a build16:08
bkeysBut like I said I am getting no graphical output but the screen does light up16:08
joschbkeys: this is the last image i successfully tested with my reform: https://source.mnt.re/reform/reform-system-image/-/jobs/840/artifacts/browse/reform2-imx8mq/16:14

bkeysjosch, minute: https://paste.centos.org/view/0a654ddc Here is my output from dmesg18:33
bkeysAnd right now my DIP switch is off18:41
bkeysI just put it on18:45
bkeysI turn the Reform on and I still get no output on the screen but it did boot to TTY on serial18:47
bkeysI wonder what happens if I hook it up to an HDMI screen18:48
bkeysOkay I get graphical output but it has to be on an external HDMI screen18:52
bkeysEven then I only get output during the uboot part; once I boot into Linux I get no output18:52
- mjw (QUIT: Ping timeout: 240 seconds) (~mjw_@2001:1c06:2488:1400:9e5c:8eff:fe8f:a440)19:04
joschbkeys: something is still wrong with your u-boot. the log you link to contains this: init=/sbin/reform-init19:05
kfxline 375 through 37719:05
+ mjw (~mjw_@2001:1c06:2488:1400:9e5c:8eff:fe8f:a440)19:06
kfxof that dmesg output19:06
joschkfx: yes I see that but according to your log there is no initrd loaded19:06
joschand the initrd contains the kernel modules for your display19:06
joschkfx: can you post a full boot log including the u-boot parts that you get on serial?19:06
joscherrr.. bkeys I mean19:07
- klardotsh (QUIT: Ping timeout: 268 seconds) (~klardotsh@98.97.33.172)19:07
bkeysjosch: Is /sbin/reform-init no longer used?19:13
joschbkeys: correct -- the fact that this is part of your boot log even though you just downloaded a fresh image can mean one of two things:19:14
joscha) you are not booting what you think you are booting (the fresh image)19:14
joschb) your u-boot options still mess with your kernel cmdline19:14
joschbkeys: but according to your log there is no initramfs loaded and that explains why your display doesn't come up19:14
bkeysOkay good I was worrying that something else was physically damaged19:15
bkeysThis uboot thing is really annoying and it makes no sense; I would think if I did saveenv but then dd'ed a new uboot on top of it then the old settings would go away19:15
bkeysBut for some reason there is a ghost setting in my Reform that lingers and there is no real way to get rid of it19:16
joschbkeys: we recently made two changes to prevent that in the future:19:16
joschdisable saveenv altogether: https://source.mnt.re/reform/reform-boundary-uboot/-/merge_requests/819:16
joschdon't load env from emmc: https://source.mnt.re/reform/reform-boundary-uboot/-/merge_requests/919:16
bkeyshttps://paste.centos.org/view/4fb686dd19:17
bkeysHere is my uboot output with accompanying printenv output19:17
bkeysNow eventually I want to load the uboot from the emmc so I can free up the SD card slot19:17
joschyes, but maybe we do it one step at a time19:17
bkeysThe dream is encrypted Fedora installation on the nvme drive with the uboot and /boot on the emmc19:18
bkeysI agree19:18
joschthis works for debian so it can also work with fedora19:18
bkeysI just gotta get the distroboot stuff on here19:18
bkeysDo you have a flash.bin to share that doesn't load from emmc?19:18
bkeysAnytime I dd into an SD card or the emmc it seems to have no effect19:19
joschbkeys: try this one: https://source.mnt.re/reform/reform-boundary-uboot/-/jobs/854/artifacts/browse19:19
+ erle (~erle@ip5f5af7e0.dynamic.kabel-deutschland.de)19:21
bkeysjosch: I didn't manage to stop the uboot but it booted up with no graphical output just like before19:22
bkeysYES OH MY GOSH19:23
bkeysI GOT THE DISTROBOOT STUFF19:23
joschbkeys: it's also possible that the change that minute applied to stop loading from emmc didn't do what we expected -- you are the first to test this19:23
joschhm?19:23
bkeysThe printenv is totally different19:23
joschyes, this should include distroboot19:23
bkeysYes but the last 100 images it felt like should have had distroboot19:23
bkeysBut for some reason it never showed up; but I have itn ow19:23
bkeysBut still no graphical output19:23
joschgood, this means that you successfully loaded uboot from your sd-card19:24
joschcan you post me your environment? we can diff it with mine19:24
bkeyshttps://paste.centos.org/view/b073efe619:25
bkeysNow to somehow get Fedora booting19:25
bkeysOr the sysimage, I am pretty sure Fedora is on the nvme drive but it's not encrypted and I'd like an encrypted install19:27
vagrantcwell, distroboot is mostly an implementation of the environment values, so if you're using a saved environment that doesn't have distroboot ...19:29
vagrantcdoesn't matter how much your shiny new u-boot supports distroboot if it's loading the environment from somewhere else19:29
bkeysYeah I just don't know why it's so persistent19:34
bkeysjosch, vagrantc: So advice on getting the sysimage booting and have it light up my display?19:35
bkeysNow that the uboot is good; what is the problem now?19:35
joschbkeys: we might see in a sec, i'm about to get the u-boot env as it is for me19:36
+ ajr (~ajr@user/ajr)19:42
bkeysACTION stares at the printenv output and tries to wrap his head around it19:42
joschbkeys: congratulations, the only difference between what you have and whatt I have is the values of ethaddr and serial# which is no surprise19:48
joschbkeys: this suggests that the change from MR 9 indeed did what it should19:49
bkeysSo any theories why my display isn't being brought up?19:49
joschbkeys: another output of your boot log please19:49
bkeysOkay19:49
joschi'm eating dinner now but will come back in an hour or so unless somebody else solves the problem before i'm back :)19:50
bkeyshttps://paste.centos.org/view/ac37bbc119:51
bkeysHere is my boot log19:51
dodohm, what's the "gnome on xorg" session entry? does that use xwayland?20:06
dodoah, doesn't start anyway20:11

kfxsame issue:  lines 395, 399-40120:26
kfxnormally if the display is disconnected it will complain that it can't find a panel20:30
kfxlet me go see if I get this same output on mine20:30
bkeysAlright20:30
bkeysI am just toying around seeing if I can get a Fedora live image to boot20:30
bkeyskfx: So how does your output look?20:36
kfxI don't get that output.  I'm downloading the image you pulled so I can test that too20:39
bkeysYeah the uboot configuration mentions boot.scr so my guess is it won't work with Fedora since Fedora requires EFI; but josch says he got debian with EFI on his so who knows20:44
joschbkeys: this is how it should look like with the reform-rescue-system image I linked to plus the flash.bin I linked you to: http://paste.debian.net/1249123/20:49
joschand yes, display works20:50
kfxok, when I boot your image I get full working video and no ti_sn65dsi86 messages in dmesg20:51
kfxI mean, when I boot that github debian image I get full working video and no ti_sn65dsi86 messages in dmesg20:51
bkeysYou mean the one on the reform gitlab?20:55
+ qwer (~qwer@37-48-50-4.nat.epc.tmcz.cz)20:57
joschbkeys: wait, were you booting anything else before??21:10
bkeysWhat do you mean?21:10
joschyou said earlier today that your problem was, that when you tried the stock image from the CI pipeline artifacts on source.mnt.re your display didn't come up21:11
bkeysYes that is still an issue21:11
bkeysI haven't been able to get the display to come up since getting it back from the repair shop21:11
joschbut you just said that when you boot that debian image you get full working video21:11
joschoh no that was kfx, sorry21:12
bkeysWhen did I say that?21:12
bkeysYeah21:12
bkeysSo lets say I want to write a .img file with dd so that it's shifted some megabytes forward to make room for uboot and have the image shifted over X megabytes?21:14
joschno, you first dd the image without any offset21:17
joschand then you dd uboot with bs=1k seek=3321:17
bkeysWell any theories why the display isn't working?21:20
joschI actually do not see anything obvious yet.21:22
joschthe log looks good apart from those ti_sn65dsi86 messages21:23
bkeysWhat is ti_sn65dsi86?21:26
joschwhat is also odd is that your log is missing the messages that i have for keyboard and trackball21:26
joschmessages like "hub 1-1:1.0: 4 ports detected" are not in your log21:26
bkeysDo you think maybe the repair place damaged my Reform?21:26
joschi wouldn't be able to say21:27
