vagrantcACTION raises an eyebrow00:00
ex-parrotI don't suppose you know much about the "best way" to do device tree overlays in Debian, josch?00:01
joschex-parrot: nope, that is very, very far from the area my expertise :D00:01
ex-parrotsame, but I'm learning :)00:01
ex-parrotvagrantc: do you know which vendor of flash chip you have on your PocketCHIP?00:03
vagrantcex-parrot: not off the top of my head :)00:07
vagrantcex-parrot: it was part of the first batches00:08
ex-parrotok, it likely has the better supported Toshiba chip which will help. I'll let you know when I have something more suitable for general testing anyway if you're interested00:08
ex-parrotI replaced the NAND on mine with a smaller more reliable one that has better driver support and added SD card for main storage. I'm looking at making an SD card addon board available through one of the PCBA services 00:09
vagrantcshiny00:09
ex-parrotit's working well so far with Bookworm using unmodified armmp kernel images. Just needs an extra module for the keypad, and I've filed a bug to hopefully get that added 00:09
ex-parrotand I need to work out if I can load my device tree changes in a sensible way through an overlay or if it'll just require a permanently modified device tree00:10
ex-parrotthe ideal (I think) end scenario is you'd be able to add the SD card board, reflash u-boot SPL on the NAND with up to date mainline and have everything else boot from SD. I think this is doable00:11

joschhere is foot running under wayfire inside qemu on my reform: https://mister-muffin.de/p/6CfO.png11:20
minutejosch: very nice @ qemu. i believe i had an emulate.sh script in reform-system-image repo11:25

minutemornin' grimmware11:44
minutejosch: the tracking says the modules arrive here around sep 1111:44
joschminute: my plan is to first adapt reform-system-image, reform-tools and reform-debian-packages so that i can build an sd-card image like for all the other platforms11:45

joschonce that works, migrating will be easy as i then have understood all the parts11:45
minutejosch: ok, sounds good11:45
joschsure it will be a bit cumbersome but at least the groundwork has already been done when you did a311d support11:46
minutei have an ls1028a branch for the system image but IIRC it is quite old and modifies the 8mq image i think11:46
joschi mean the parts that allow for more soms than the imx11:46
minutejosch: yep!11:46
joschand i can just build on that11:46
joschminute: could you create a reform-a311d-uboot (or similar) project under https://source.mnt.re/reform/ and give me access? then i can use that to build uboot for a311d12:01

joschsigrid: you asked if the reform-system-image could use UUID partition addressing in /etc/fstab so that the image would also boot from a usb-stick. I now opened a MR which uses LABEL addressing instead. Do you see any disadvantage of using LABEL instead of UUID? https://source.mnt.re/reform/reform-system-image/-/merge_requests/7616:04
joschminute: that MR against your a311d-v2 branch also solves the problem with a311d choosing a different /dev naming for emmc and sd compared to imx16:09
sigridI think one benefit uuid has over label is that it's... unique16:09
+ mtm (~mtm@c-71-228-84-213.hsd1.fl.comcast.net)16:09
sigrideg I can have several devices connected, all of them having labels "boot" and "root", yet uuid is different for all of them16:10
sigridmaybe label is just more user friendly16:10
sigriduuid is set once when fs is created, iirc, also something to consider16:11
sigridI see you have set the label to reformsdroot/reformsdboot, guess that makes it somewhat unique :)16:12

joschi'm working on a patch to mke2fs to allow it to take tarballs as input so that we can through out genext2fs (because it's slow and only supports ext2) https://lore.kernel.org/linux-ext4/20230620121641.469078-1-josch@mister-muffin.de/T/ and one property that i'd really love to keep is reproducible disk images. For those, the uuid has to be reproducible as well (it will be made unique on first boot) and 16:13
joschthus the initial uuid would not really be unique either.16:13
minutejosch: nice!16:24
joschabout unique-ness: since reform-migrate does not dd filesystems but uses rsync, problems should [tm] only arise if somebody has sd-card and usb-stick with that image plugged at the same time16:25
sigridI don't think the difference is that important16:27
sigridit *is* probably important when someone installs on nvme, I guess16:29
sigridnot for generated images16:29
joschright, but the nvme install will be with newly created ext4 filesystems and not just dd the sd-card (why would somebody do that?)16:31

joschokay :)16:31
