digitalrayneswapped the Inolux N125HCE-GN1 in my Reform out for an IVO M125NWF4 and the difference in contrast is really noticable, the Inolux screen was great and all but it's so nice being able to just upgrade it easily10:46
minutedigitalrayne: oh, i don't know about that one, is it compatible? we only considered BOE and AU optronics so far10:47
minuteoh wow it looks like a drop-in?10:47
digitalraynehttps://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005005036533756.html <- yep if you look at the datasheet it's a total drop-in10:47
minuteamazing10:48
minutethanks for telling me that!10:48
digitalrayneno problem :) 10:48
minuteaccording to panelook it's still in production :0 10:49
digitalrayneoh only one note! I had to adjust my eDP cable as the connector is right in the middle of the screen10:49
minuteahaa? did you need to cut a bit of the tape or sth?10:49
digitalraynenope! just pulled it through the hinge so there wasn't so much cable in the screen, that was all, just pulled it through the hinge and into the main reform case10:50
digitalraynethe actual connector ws a perfect fit10:51
digitalrayne*was10:51
minuteah, great. we know of two different connector positions with these displays, center and somewhere on the side10:51
minuteso you had non-center before i guess?10:52
digitalrayneyep that's correct, slightly to the left before, now in the center10:52

mjwminute, o, the ls1028a sold out :{14:24
mjwminute, Personally I would love to get one, precisely because it is blob free.14:25
mjwbut the original cpu module was working fine14:26
mjwI really should do a tune up for the mnt reform though.14:26
joschmjw: do you plan to use the ls1028a inside the reform or in another custom setup?14:27

joschmjw: then it will not be quite blob-free because you probably want to use the internal display14:37
mjwyes, I never fully understood the deal with the graphics14:37
mjwwhich was one reason I was hesitant to update, because I wasn't sure how that would work.14:38
mjwsadly the page is gone https://shop.mntre.com/products/mnt-reform-ls1028a-module14:39
mjwthere was some language about how you could use it blob free, but apparently that didn't apply to the actual display only to external hdmi display?14:39
joschmjw: the blob is in u-boot, see https://source.mnt.re/reform/reform-ls1028a-uboot/14:40
mjwright, so just like the original cpu module blobs then :{14:40
joschmjw: yes, if you don't have this blob, you only have external hdmi but not the external display14:40
erlejosch it does not slide of the table though. also the keyboard holds onto the lego because of the thin metal thing at the back14:40
erleoff14:40
joscherle: cool!14:40
mjwjosch, I assume you meant not the Internal display?14:41
joscherrr... yes14:41
joschif you don't have this blob, you only have external hdmi but not the internal display14:41
mjwso then I was kind of right for not really believing the ls1028a was blob free :{14:41
mjwtoo bad14:41
joschnow i heard that minute has a hdmi->edp converter...14:42
mjwso, yeah, then the ls1028a isn't much different from the other cpu modules14:42
minutejosch: ls1028a does not have hdmi14:43
joschaha!14:44
minutemjw: soon there will be 5x ls1028a available at crowd supply14:44
mjwminute, right, but then I would to buy it and install it myself...14:44
minutejosch: the problem with pre-ordering is the accumulating debt to people who ordered, combined with the fact that you can't refund paypal payments older than 180 days14:44
mjwACTION is really a bit of a hardware noob14:44
joschmjw: apologies, indeed there is no hdmi... i failed to parse this table https://mntre.com/modularity.html#table14:44
minuterecently someone canceled a big order that was older than 180 days14:44
minutewe had to suck up the 114 euro in paypal fees14:45
mjwI was actually hoping to sent in my current reform and get some other parts replaced too14:45
minutemjw: are you in the US/14:45
minute?14:45
mjwno, Europe, the Netherlands14:45
minuteok. we can still install that module as a service of course14:46
minute(if you get it from CS)14:46
minutemjw: the page is not gone, are you getting an error? https://shop.mntre.com/products/mnt-reform-ls1028a-module14:46
minuteohhh there is an error if one is not logged in as me... weird14:46
mjwok, that might be a deal, bit odd, shipping it back to you, but ok :)14:46
mjwminute, I am indeed not logged in as you :)14:46
joschmjw: i think my hdmi confusion is created because i have different pcie cards attached to my ls1028a and then i have hdmi and display port :)14:47
mjwminute, let me sent an email to support, to see what the options are.14:47
mjwjosch, now your confusion is my confusion. so, to get the internal display working you need a pcie graphics card?14:48
minutejosch: yeah, i have an mPCIe graphics card here that might work for this purpose, but not fully tested14:48
minuteironically the hdmi->edp adapter has builtin binary firmware14:48
minutebut that does not count according to the FSF model ^^14:48
vkoskivisn't that the funky chip that has an x86 core inside?14:48
minute(because that is unrelated to the main soc)14:48
minutevkoskiv: yep, a turbo86 or sth14:48
joschmjw: nono, i'm not using mine inside the reform14:49
mjwOK, so that table says "eDP has closed source firmware (required only in laptop)." so as a cpu module inside the mnt reform it is not blob free? :{14:49

joschmjw: i posted a photo of my setup here: https://community.mnt.re/t/questions-and-requests-about-the-rack-reform/1871/514:50
joschmjw: yes, as a cpu module inside the mnt reform laptop with internal display support, you are still left with ls1028a-mhdpfw.bin as a loadable firmware blob14:51
mjwso, if that is true, and I feared it was, then the ls1028a never really was an blob-free option (as part of the mnt reform)14:51
mjwmaybe what a really want then would be a mnt rack14:52

jackhillminute: I'm not sure if this is helpful to you, but I considered the ls1028a, but decided I prefered stock. The ram upgrade would have been the selling point for me, but the other tradoffs weren't worth it (power, multi-monitor). I probably should have done the upgrade iMX module befor it was discontinued, oh well.16:48
jackhillI appreciate your pride in it. I do value minimal blobs, but am willing to be pragmatic. I'd probably be more likely to experiment with other compute modules (budget allowing) if/when I get a other reform (probably rack, but maybe pocket or regular) so I have one to use and one to experiment with :)16:51
