jfredHmm. I just tried building the latest LPC firmware on my Reform and the build seems to be failing https://www.irccloud.com/pastebin/FRHl8lYj/02:03
jfredWanted to get all my firmware up to date before attempting the a311d module swap02:06
Asmadeusjfred: iirc you need to set REFORM_MOTHERBOARD_REV yourself as the build system cannot guess which revision of the motherboard you're using (and the firmware needs to know as some circuitry changed)02:41
Asmadeussee reform2-lpc-fw/src/boards/reform2/board_reform2.c "don't forget to set this to the correct rev for your motherboard!"02:41

minutejosch: thank you, merged09:56
joschminute: could you confirm whether the "blacklist raid456" workaround is still necessary when having the mdadm package installed?11:29
joschi just commented that out and rebooted and still have sound11:29
joschwell... my sound is broken but the respective snd_* modules load without problems11:30
joschmaybe we can drop this from /etc/modprobe.d/reform.conf?11:30
joschoh no wait...11:30
joschnope, problem is still gone11:35

joschokay, so if you could comment out "blacklist raid456" in /etc/modprobe.d/reform.conf12:14
joschthen run "sudo apt install guestfish" -- this will install the package mdadm which in turn will install /etc/modprobe.d/mdadm.conf which attempts to load raid during boot12:14
joschthen regenerate the initramfs: "sudo update-initramfs -u"12:15
joschthen reboot12:15
joschif this problem is magically fixed, sound should still work12:15
joschi can only test this in sofar the modules are still all loaded and there are no "fsl-sai" problems in dmesg12:15
joschbut since my audio is borked, i cannot really make sure audio still works12:16
joschminute: if you could verify that my observation is correct, we could remove the workaround from /etc/modprobe.d/reform.conf12:16

jfredjosch: Yeah, that would have made it more clear what the issue was13:25
abortretryfailaudio broke? 14:07
joschabortretryfail: exactly one year ago to the day I installed guestfish on my reform14:16
joschabortretryfail: one of its (indirect) dependencies is mdadm which installs /etc/modprobe.d/mdadm.conf which in turn will load raid modules on boot14:17
joschabortretryfail: and that in turn resulted in this messages appearing in dmesg:14:17
josch      fsl-sai 308b0000.sai: Missing dma channel for stream: 014:17
josch      fsl-sai 308b0000.sai: ASoC: error at snd_soc_pcm_component_new on 308b0000.sai: -2214:17

josch      fsl-asoc-card sound: error -EINVAL: snd_soc_register_card failed14:17
josch      fsl-asoc-card: probe of sound failed with error -2214:17
joschto prevent this, we added a line into /etc/modprobe.d/reform.conf that prevented the raid modules from being loaded14:18
joschraid isn't very useful on the reform anyways14:18
abortretryfailHuh, yeah it doesn't have enough places to plug in disks unless you're crazy and want to RAID usb sticks or something14:18
joschtoday i mentioned this problem in #debian-devel and somebody who knows their way around the kernel said "hang on, i have somebody with a MNT Reform in my office, lets try to fix this issue"14:18
abortretryfailbut... why would mdraid mess with the dma for the sound?14:19
abortretryfail:D14:19
joschso earlier today i tried to reproduce it and the problems seems to be gone14:19
abortretryfailI wonder what fixed it14:20
joschi do not have enough free-time to bisect this :)14:21
joschbut maybe somebody else (minute?) can confirm my observation and then we can remove this workaround from /etc/modprobe.d/reform.conf shipped by reform-tools14:21

erlethis may sound stupid, but does someone here have a mod to prevent dirt getting inside the case?16:59
erlei have noticed that i have to be much more careful with my reform than with a thinkpad, because crumbs and random fluff that goes on the keyboard can go inside the computer much more easily17:00
erleand yes, i already know i should not use the reform at the beach while shaving myself with one hand and eating chips with the other one ^_^17:01
joscherle: i need those tips as well for my Casio EX-S77017:05
erlethat brought back memories17:05
EquillI don't have a solution, but I'm interested in one. I shouldn't drink and code, but you know how it is. Also, I have cats with ultra-fine fur that gets into supposedly sealed laptops - I'm going to have to vacuum-clean this one periodically.17:05
erlewell reform is not particularly sealed on the top17:06
erleif something gets under the keyboard below the bottom row, it can pretty much go anywhere ig17:06
erlei had not thought of drinking though17:06
joschi have the same problem at home (und das obwohl ich nichtmal in standnähe war) but i just regularly remove the bottom cover and with it all the dirt that accumulated on it17:07
+ Boostisbetter (4a410829d7@irc.cheogram.com)17:23
abortretryfailerle: i was toying with the idea of making a 3d printed drip-tray for the keyboard like the old Thinkpads have.17:25
abortretryfailBefore that though, I need to redesign the ball cup for the trackball so the sensor isn't directly at the bottom, collecting every fleck of dust17:25
