joschminute: theoretically, since boot.scr is shell-like, we could use /usr/share/flash-kernel/ubootenv.d/00reform2_ubootenv to append arbitrary stuff to ${bootargs}05:52
joschbut i don't know how smart that is, so i'll ask vagrant next time they are online05:52

abortretryfailI think the only thing I'd miss from that would be the ability to pgup/pgdn with one hand. :)18:58
abortretryfailACTION has no horse in this race however, my keyboard is v2 with the weirdo alts in the middle18:59
joschi find it hard to remember which key is page-up and which is page-down when they are next to each other19:07
joschthe problem with a key combo for page-up/down are programs that require a combo with page-up/down19:07
joschthen you'd have to hit three keys instead of two19:07
joschbut i don't have a solution19:08
josch(for example terminal scrolling is often shift+pageup/down)19:08
abortretryfailShift isn't so hard to reach with another finger.19:09

minuteok, finally managed to load the mhdp firmware from linux instead of uboot (on ls1028a)19:12
joschminute: is there an advantage to loading it later during boot?19:18
minutejosch: yes, being able to use mainline uboot19:19
minutejosch: otherwise i would have to import a huge amount of vendor code into uboot19:19
joschah okay19:19
minuteand the loading code was already there in the patch for linux, it was just buggy19:19
minutedebian mesa is missing this one https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/mesa/mesa/-/blob/main/src/gallium/targets/dri/meson.build#L8219:39
minutei'll work around it in the driver, but strange19:39

kwsdoes the US crowd supply stock have the new keyboard, protected battery board and steel port covers?20:25
minutejosch: hmm, maybe it's in a separate package?20:29
minute[   67.472514] mali-dp f080000.display: [drm] fb0: imx-drmdrmfb frame buffer device20:30
minuteok, i have a display with weston. but internal display cable needs a choke20:49
- jacobk (QUIT: Ping timeout: 240 seconds) (~quassel@utdpat242016.utdallas.edu)20:53
minuteit's funny that the display doesn't work when using its own EDID settings20:53
minuteonly issue left: it gets very hot. might need a bigger heatsink, but haven't tried inside the case and conducting to the aluminum case yet21:13
minutein worst case we need to add a little fan :021:14
violetis it doing processor frequency scaling?21:28
minuteyes, even down to 300mhz21:28
minutemaybe it's something else in the chip that's so hot21:28
minutein RCW (reset configuration word) one can hard-disable IP blocks, worth a look21:29
minutefor example, it contains a ethernet switch engine and another 2.5gb PHY that we don't use21:29
violetyeah makes a lot of sense to try and turn that stuff off21:29
minuteat the moment the full system can consume up to 18W21:30
minute(incl screen)21:30
violethow's that compare to the imx8q21:31
minutei think the imx8mq system is maxing out at maybe 12W, need to double check21:31
minutebut it's fun how 16GB ram feels kind of immense vs 4GB21:33
minutefeels like infinite lol21:33
violetyeah for real21:33
minuteand the Cortex-A72 is definitely snappier than the A5321:34
minuteeven with only 2 cores21:34
violeti never run out on my x220 with 16GB21:34
minutei don't know if there is any other oshw board with these kind of resources21:34
minutemaybe the laptop board that system76 are trying to do, but it's not done21:35
unixpoetyeah, the system76 virgo is still pretty early 21:36
violetaside from that the closest might be whenever pine gets around to doing their rk3388 board. but i also dont really consider that fully open source since iirc they release the schematic pdf but not the actual pcb files21:38
minuteviolet: hmm, pine hasn't released any OSHW as far as i know21:40
minutei mean, you can get the schematics for apple hardware... :D21:40
minute(if you look closely)21:40
violethahahahahahha21:40
violetyeah i had to go double check. they're so borderline to being fully open source but never go all the way with it, its weird21:41
violetjust upload the files!!!21:41
violethaha21:41
minuteprobably they also use an uncommon PCB EDA software like orcad or sth21:41
minutei mean uncommon for open source21:41
minutemaybe even altium21:41
violetgods i cant imagine pine having budget for altium given how razor thin to the margins they seem to price things21:42
violetbut maybe!21:42
violetaltium just seems so ludicrously expensive21:42
minuteyeah, rbz made the ls1028a module in altium but i can open it in kicad21:43
minutei did that ~a lot~ to debug things21:43
violeti bet that a72 could actually handle google meet -.-21:46
violeti tried using google meet today but it couldn't handle transmitting without breaking up. which is like. come on we've had voip on computers working since pentiums that were slower than this!! 21:46
violet(and Discord manages to work just fine so, google skill issue i guess)21:47
violeti kind of wonder if its related to i think debian doesnt build chromium with their "hangouts" plugin the way some other distros do. and i know meet uses that. so maybe they just lean on that for anything working at a reasonable speed, idk what all it does21:49
minuteweird @ voice21:50
minutemaybe it falls back to encoding it with javascript or something...21:51
violetyeah thats what im wondering... which would be really weird because webrtc like, does this. but google definitely has a precedent for inventing a web standard and then not actually using it to its most in their own stuff21:52
violetsome time later ill grab a build that has the hangouts plugin built in and see if it runs any different21:53

unixpoetalso I don't think there even is an rk338823:08
