jfredOkay, looks healthier at least! One cell is bouncing between nominal voltage and 4V which does seem high, but I think that might be a side effect of it trying to balance 7 partly discharged cells with one mostly charged cell. Should probably go charge them all externally tomorrow05:33

joschvagrantc: reading through your "what doesn't work on the pinebook" list i feel really good about the few things that don't work on the reform :D08:08
vagrantcjosch: heh.08:09
vagrantcwhat's exciting about the reform is how modular it is ... it is not infeasible to use a different wifi module ... or keyboard ... or mouse/trackpad/trackball/etc.08:10
Booster[m]one unfortunate side effect of my use of the Reform is how much it has made me want a trackball on my other laptops. Now I fantasize about stuffing a Framework mainboard in mine. 08:11

minutevagrantc: reform gets a lot more snappy with a311d!21:42
vagrantci found it snappy enough, i just would run out of ram :)21:46
vagrantcanyways ... i will probably wait a while for a bigger upgrade ... although the pine64 quartz64 module seemed tempting21:47
vagrantci think a bigger blocker for me is getting support more completely merged into debian ... and i haven't carved out enough time to help more with that21:48
vagrantce.g. support for the existing very close imx8 based one21:48
vagrantchad a brief window where the u-boot support looked workable ... but then realized the licensing on the ddr blobs was kind of a blocker21:50
vagrantcthough obviously a bring-your-own u-boot would be an option21:50
vagrantcis upstream support for linux any better in 6.2 or 6.3 than 6.1?21:52

sbatesI just ran `reform-flash-rescue` and afterwards mounted the eMMC root partition (mount /dev/mmcblk0p2 /mnt) and looked at the /mnt/etc/fstab. I see commented out lines referencing /dev/mmcblk1p2 and /dev/mmcblk1p1. Does that mean that the rescue system image has an /etc/fstab that points to the sd-card? Am I understanding properly?23:53
sbatesIt now has entries for /dev/mmcblk0p2 and /dev/mmcblk0p1 but I was interested in the commented out lines23:55
joschsbates: read the reform-flash-rescue script to understand what it does :)23:56
joschsbates: in short it flashes the image that was meant for the sd-card onto emmc23:56
joschsbates: since the image we build are for the sd-card, they have /dev/mmcblk1pX in /etc/fstab which needs to be changed23:56
joschsbates: that's why at the end of the script "reform-boot-config --emmc emmc" is run to correct the /etc/fstab entries23:57
minutejosch: ah damn23:57
sbatesif downloads the reform-rescue-system.img.gz -- that's meant for sd-card?23:58
