| minute | what would you prefer as a high perf soc for reform, nvidia jetson xavier nx or rockchip rk3588? | 16:40 |
| bkeys | minute: Whichever one has potential UEFI (edk2) support? | 16:43 |
| minute | bkeys: that's more important to you than performance, drivers etc? | 16:43 |
| bkeys | Well no, but I don't see the two as mutually exclusive | 16:43 |
| bkeys | Being able to run my distro of choice is important to me | 16:43 |
| minute | ok | 16:44 |
| bkeys | Does xavier and rk3588 not have mainline kernel support? | 16:45 |
| minute | rk3588 does not | 16:47 |
| minute | and the open gpu driver is very far behind the blob one | 16:47 |
| minute | according to https://forum.radxa.com/t/rock-5b-debug-party-invitation/10483 | 16:48 |
| minute | the rk3588 cpu perf is pretty spectacular though | 16:48 |
| bkeys | It's just my 2 cents but I would be willing to pay a pretty penny for a decent performance riscv SoM for the Reform | 16:48 |
| bkeys | https://github.com/antmicro/arvsom | 16:49 |
| bkeys | Something like this for the Reform would be awesome | 16:49 |
| minute | that's not performant at all though | 16:49 |
| minute | but yeah | 16:49 |
| minute | risc-v will be interesting at some point | 16:50 |
| bkeys | Yeah riscv lacks anything with decent horsepower; but a ppc64le SoM would also be cool, although that is probably not practical at all | 16:50 |
| minute | yeah, and ppc community is tiny | 16:50 |
| minute | i'm pretty sure there will be a cm4 compatible starfive risc-v thing next year | 16:51 |
| bkeys | As for me I am fine living with imx8 on a laptop for the time being; although if somehow there came out a SoM that would let me use the Reform as my desktop as well that would be really cool | 16:51 |
| minute | yeah, that's what i want, too | 16:52 |
| josch | what is the use-case for more performance than the imx8 or even the ls1028a? personally i'd prefer that as much as possible is upstreamed into the respective projects and the platform is really stable and reliable. | 16:52 |
| minute | josch: for that avenue, we'll have imx8mplus as the next step (i just have to assemble and test it) | 16:53 |
| minute | josch: for my coworker, reform is too slow for customer support using gitlab web application | 16:53 |
| minute | the javascript perf isn't enough | 16:53 |
| josch | damn javascript is at it again XD | 16:54 |
| minute | yeah, especially bad because js is single threaded | 16:54 |
| minute | i guess 8mplus will give us 20-30% more | 16:56 |
| josch | to be fair, javascript also brought my old intel laptop to its knees. | 16:56 |
| minute | but jetson xavier nx can give us roughly triple the single core perf | 16:56 |
| bkeys | And at least eventually there would be an officially supported driver | 16:57 |
| minute | bkeys: there is ESXi-Arm for jetson nx | 16:58 |
| bkeys | I think adapter support for anything cm4 compatible would be nice | 16:58 |
| bkeys | What is ESXi-Arm? | 16:58 |
| minute | ah, there is tianocore https://nullr0ute.com/2021/12/fedora-on-nvidia-jetson-xavier/ | 16:59 |
| minute | bkeys: i do have a CM4 adapter here, but will continue the bringup only next week. | 17:00 |
| minute | (finishing reform motherboard 2.5 at the moment) | 17:00 |
| minute | mainline linux support also doesn't look so bad. | 17:01 |
| bkeys | If a cm4 adapter existed where I could put any cm4 compatible SoM in I would buy that in a heartbeat | 17:02 |
| minute | well, we'll sell it soon. i just need to fix some display and ethernet things. | 17:04 |
| josch | how does it work with the remaining available height for the heatsink if there is the cm4 adapter board in the middle? | 17:06 |
| bkeys | Cause I think even with rpi cm4 module I could get edk2 and mainline Fedora finally supports rpi; even if my GPU performance wouldn't be as good I'd have Vulkan | 17:06 |
| minute | josch: there will be a slimmer and potentially wider heatsink, but otoh the rpi cm4 generates less heat | 17:06 |
| josch | ACTION is still waiting for the transcend 220S nvme ssd which will hopefull fix the suspend issues... | 17:12 |
| minute | :0 | 17:15 |
| josch | shipment is stuck with DHL for over a week and the online shop now sent a second package via UPS express | 17:16 |
