unixpoetI have a Rock Pi 5B with an RK3588, and it's quite fast, but that lack of acceleration really hurts00:00
minuteunixpoet: afaik pancsf should be quite usable already00:07
unixpoetI'll have to take a look, thank you :)00:07
minuteunixpoet: there's a kernel stack from bbrezillon and mesa pancsf that you can try00:08
unixpoetneat! I'm wondering how mature it is, though, given https://www.collabora.com/news-and-blog/news-and-events/a-helping-arm-for-panfrost.html from a few weeks ago00:08
minutebluerise: hmm, t-firefly have an almost identical module since like a year, i have 2 of them in a drawer00:09
minutebut going with mezzanine style module instead00:09
minutealso, sinovoip (bpi) have a solder stamp style rk3588 module00:09
unixpoetI haven't used anything else from sinovoip, but if their other boards are as solid as the R3, I'm sure it'll be great00:10
minuteunixpoet: the bpi cm4 module we offer now as a bundle with rcm4 is from sinovoip as well00:10
unixpoetI've got an R3 running my wireless and it's quite zippy, I can almost max out gigE on it00:10
unixpoetyup! I saw00:10
minutethey have been also really nice in contact and we're buying from them directly now00:10
unixpoetI decided to order the LS1028A for the RAM though00:10
minuteunixpoet: makes sense! that's a lot of ram :D00:11
unixpoetyeah! I do Rust dev so I need ALL THE RAMS00:11
minuteextremely understandable00:11
minutewe also do some rust stuff at mnt... we have a homegrown accounting system running on it :D00:11
minuteaccounting/bank sync/inventory/document management thing00:12
unixpoetvery nice!00:12
unixpoetI'm curious how the LS1028A compares to the CM4 in terms of performance when RAM constraints aren't an issue00:12
minutewell, it's 6 vs 2 cores...00:15
minuteat least they're A7200:15
unixpoetyeah, fair points. still gonna be happy to have the memory, and I can always swap out the module if I need something faster :)00:17
minuteyeah, also it's really a very rare thing00:18
minuteto have an OSHW module, and it has some interesting features like full PCIe, and can (unfortunately not with edp display) run without blobs00:18
unixpoetright! running without blobs is a big deal for me, I am becoming increasingly distrustful of Intel and AMD00:19
unixpoetI get that the LS1028A has a blob for the eDP but that's not something deep in the core of the system00:21
minutethere's not many "generic computer" ARM socs left i think, maybe someday there will be something similar and faster in the RISC-V space. i don't think there will be simple ARM SOCs anymore in the future, at least not well performing ones00:21
minuteunixpoet: correct00:21
unixpoetSpeaking of faster RISC-V, have you seen the Milk-V Pioneer?00:22
minuteyep! looking forward to seeing people play with it00:22
minutei personally did not back it because i'm more interested in modules ^^00:22
unixpoettotally reasonable00:22
unixpoetI didn't because I've spent enough on tech :)00:23
unixpoetalso I'd like a distro to declare official support for it; looks like Debian is most likely there00:23
minuteyeah00:23
joschstill takes another 2 years though00:26
unixpoetsure. that's a solid amount of time for drivers etc. 00:26
joschi can also live with blobs (if they are loadable firmware) but am really upset about the non-distributability of the NXP blobs :(00:30

+ grimmware (~grimmware@2a03:b0c0:1:a1::6ad:1001)15:00
BoostisbetterYeah I have noticed that if there was any kind of power loss scenario the lpc needs to be trained again. So after going through a power cycle the number should be correct again. 15:33
BoostisbetterUnder the newest imagine you'll see that the correct battery percentage is show in waybar under sway as well. 15:34

minutethe best thing would be to finally utilize the eeprom in the lpc18:03
minuteto save the capacity18:04
minuteah, and i can look into whether it's just a communication problem18:04
sigridthere is a difference in how lpc talks via spi and uart18:05
sigridit doesn't check reached_full_charge when communicating over spi18:05
