| josch | minute: thank you, then i'll rebase and merge | 10:16 |
| josch | (this makes things easier because reform-tools has support for the pocket with rk3588 and without the dtb in the repo i have to write exceptions everywhere) | 10:16 |

| josch | *if you want me to try this out | 12:08 |
| josch | oh sorry, that MR was not marked as draft | 12:08 |
| josch | it should be draft because it's untested and only written from the docs | 12:08 |
| minute | ah | 12:08 |
| minute | IIRC cross building is often broken, right? | 12:08 |
| josch | yes, if you build against unstable | 12:09 |
| minute | josch: could/should we merge this? then i could test pocket rk3588 and next rk3588 images https://source.mnt.re/reform/reform-system-image/-/merge_requests/105 | 12:09 |
| josch | minute: let me rebase that again to make sure that everything is in place now that you merged the pocket reform rk3588 patch | 12:10 |
| josch | i think that one was mainly a draft because the dtb was missing from the kernel | 12:11 |
| minute | josch: ok sure! | 12:11 |
| josch | oh i think there was a problem with the u-boot flash.bin | 12:11 |

| midfavila | search engine brought me there | 17:46 |
| NanoCodeBug | it looks like a neat risc-v som, would be cool to swap one in once risc-v advances a bit more | 17:48 |
| minute | oh this seems very useful for pocket https://ix.sinbon.eu/product/ix-type-a-to-rj45-jack/?attribute_length=0.1m | 17:50 |
| minute | anyone else interested? | 17:50 |
| josch | 16 EUR sounds actually reasonable | 17:50 |
| minute | yeah, it's the first company i see that makes ok priced ix cables | 17:50 |
| NanoCodeBug | ah! the other socket type, thats a lot cheaper than crowdsupply | 17:50 |
| josch | the others seem to be made out of gold... | 17:51 |
| minute | yeah | 17:51 |
| minute | and you can use existing rj45 cables then | 17:51 |
| ch | ACTION interested | 17:51 |
| minute | cool | 17:51 |
| minute | i'll order 10 now and we'll put them in the shop | 17:51 |
| josch | potentially even for the reform next, no? | 17:52 |
| NanoCodeBug | josch: it does not boot, i can upload the serial logs somewhere if that helps | 17:56 |
| jfred | very interested in those cables myself too (though I wonder if shipping will be worth it with me being in the US...) | 17:56 |
| jfred | male ix to female rj45 is hard to come by though and I was looking for something like that | 17:56 |
| josch | NanoCodeBug: that would be great, thank you! | 17:57 |
| NanoCodeBug | josch: https://pastebin.com/f90ufwPY - i flashed the image to an sd-card - previously the system booted from the same sd-card on an earlier image - and before that it was configured to boot to an nvme. | 18:01 |
| josch | NanoCodeBug: okay, so no further output after "Starting kernel ..." i guess? | 18:03 |
| NanoCodeBug | on-screen it falls into initramfs, i think the 2nd half of the log is it falling back to the internal emmc | 18:04 |
| NanoCodeBug | and trying to boot the nvme drive that doesn't exist | 18:04 |
| josch | minute: currently the system images seem to be broken. I'll investigate. Testing the system images with qemu would've helped spotting this early but unfortunately the current arm64 CI runner does not support kvm, so qemu emulation will be veeeeeeery sloooow. Maybe something to think about is a gitlab CI runner that runs on the bare CPU without a container around it like it is set up on the intel box. I | 18:04 |
| josch | think at some point you had a CI runner on rk3588. | 18:04 |
| josch | NanoCodeBug: does it by any chance create output like this: | 18:05 |
| josch | NanoCodeBug: https://paste.debian.net/1326906/ | 18:05 |
| josch | most importantly is this message: realpath: /dev/disk/by-label/reformsdroot: No such file or directory | 18:06 |
| NanoCodeBug | josch: that's identical to what i see on-screen | 18:07 |
| josch | perfect thank you! | 18:07 |
| josch | this means that this problem would've indeed also been caught by qemu | 18:08 |
| andypiper | ha i just spent ~£30 to get an ix adapter | 18:11 |
| andypiper | need to be more patient | 18:11 |
| andypiper | in other news my A311D module arrived so I can think about moving to that in the Pocket, or CM4 | 18:11 |
| minute | josch: yes, this research was part of my decision to keep ix industrial around for the next... fitting in full size ethernet would require some pretty brutal design changes | 18:12 |
| minute | so we will just bundle that adapter | 18:12 |
| minute | josch: ok, we can soonish deploy a rk3588 runner in a reform motherboard case etc etc... probably in a month | 18:13 |
| josch | yes, no rush, just something to keep in mind -- it would help spot issues like this early | 18:13 |
| josch | now i know what to do with my evening... sigh... | 18:14 |
| minute | josch: ok so is it broken on more than 1 platform? | 18:15 |
| minute | i can try on a311d pocket now and on rk3588 reform and on imx8mq reform | 18:15 |
| josch | minute: it's broken on qemu and imx8mp pocket -- i'm not sure whether testing it on more platforms will yield anything useful | 18:16 |
| [tj] | " SINBON will advise the relevant payment method on placement of order " | 18:16 |
| minute | josch: ok, i will test on imx8mq | 18:17 |
| josch | minute: if you want to test anything, then maybe the imx8mplus u-boot MR? :) | 18:17 |
| josch | oh imx8mq is also interesting | 18:17 |
| minute | ok imx8mplus uboot is much harder to test though :D | 18:17 |
| josch | yuuup :/ | 18:17 |
| josch | andypiper already tried without success | 18:17 |
| josch | so it needs somebody to investigate what goes wrong | 18:18 |
| josch | andypiper wasn't able to collect anything on uart | 18:18 |
| minute | ok, but it sounds like the kernel is booting (for NanoCodeBug), but there's trouble after that in initramfs? | 18:18 |
| josch | yes | 18:19 |
| minute | there won't be interesting stuff on uart without kernel args tweaking i think | 18:19 |
| josch | in the initramfs shell, i am missing the disk in /dev | 18:19 |
| josch | at least in qemu | 18:19 |
| minute | sounds like a driver issue? | 18:19 |
| minute | i.e. no driver for the qemu disk | 18:19 |
| josch | if it's a driver issue, why does it show up in qemu as well? | 18:19 |
| minute | what kind of disk device does qemu emulate? | 18:20 |
| josch | and if it's a qemu driver issue, why is the same message printed on imx8mplus pocket? | 18:20 |
| josch | it's attached via virtfs | 18:20 |
| josch | so it should be /dev/vda | 18:20 |
| ch | that sounds more like userspace being unhappy | 18:21 |
| minute | josch: is there a driver for virtfs baked into the kernel? | 18:21 |
| minute | ok, on imx8mq i also get a black screen after uboot works fine | 18:21 |
| josch | oh you are testing it right now, thank you :) | 18:22 |
| josch | after you adjusted the console=... to point to serial instead of tty, you should see this message as the first error: | 18:23 |
| josch | realpath: /dev/disk/by-label/reformsdroot: No such file or directory | 18:23 |

| josch | ch: i am not -- it could be a lot of things | 18:55 |
| josch | ch: a lot changed in our kernel since the last time it worked, so this might not be a problem with Debian unstable at all but with our stuff | 18:56 |
| josch | NanoCodeBug: porque no los dos?! :D | 18:56 |
| ch | josch: the initramfs is missing a lot of kernel modules | 18:56 |
| ch | https://paste.debian.net/1326912/ | 18:57 |
| ch | that cant be enoug | 18:57 |
| ch | h | 18:57 |

| NanoCodeBug | josh: if only i could! XD. i would like to optimize the pocket for battery life, then performance. | 18:58 |
| josch | ch: you can also see it like this: if nobody is running unstable, then nobody tests the new stuff :) | 18:58 |
| ch | just wondering now why my amd64 images from today work | 18:59 |
| ch | /usr/lib/dracut/dracut-install: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/dracut/dracut-install: undefined symbol: kmod_module_get_weakdeps, version LIBKMOD_5 | 19:00 |
| ch | in your build logs | 19:00 |
| ch | so thats certainly broken | 19:00 |
| ch | initramfs-tools should abort when dracut-install crashes like this. my sid aarch64 vm with dracut 'properly' aborts | 19:01 |
| josch | ch: thank you for finding this | 19:04 |
| ch | #1079022 | 19:04 |
| josch | on the plus side, this can just be another easy smoke test in the image building script | 19:04 |
| ch | yes | 19:04 |
| josch | making sure that a few known modules are in the initramfs is not hard | 19:04 |
| ch | or boot qemu and see if that comes up? | 19:04 |
| ch | or both | 19:05 |
| ch | so many things can go wrong in initramfs, checking that statically is a lot | 19:05 |
| josch | ch: booting up qemu is not easy on a gitlab CI runner without kvm | 19:07 |
| mrbcmorris | not sure the intersection here between docker and what's being attempted but qemu is pretty easy from a docker perspective in CI | 19:07 |
| ch | its easy if you have kvm accel | 19:08 |
| josch | mrbcmorris: easy yes, but very slow without kvm | 19:08 |
| ch | otherwise very meh | 19:08 |
| mrbcmorris | gotcha, sorry-- i'm a bit higher level with my exp, but trying to learn lower. | 19:08 |
| josch | minute: maybe you want to shoot off a message on fedi warning about Debian bug #1079022 and/or #1079031 which will likely make a MNT Reform running unstable unbootable because all modules will be missing from the initramfs | 19:09 |
| josch | there will of course be apt-listbugs output as well for anybody who attempts to upgrade | 19:10 |
| minute | josch: aaaa | 19:10 |
| minute | i am in a meeting r/n | 19:10 |
| josch | errr... i guess blame ch for not having found the reason earlier :D | 19:11 |
| ch | https://github.com/grml/grml-debootstrap/actions/runs/10457709398/job/28957985085 at least amd4 is broken in the same way | 19:11 |
| ch | https://per.namespace.at/~ch/screenshot.jpg | 19:12 |
| josch | ch: i feel your joy :) | 19:13 |
| josch | ch: thank you for finding the bug numbers -- now i can do other things tonight :) | 19:13 |
| josch | i'm going to use snapshot.d.o until this is fixed... | 19:13 |
| ch | its in the backlog of d-devel, otherwise i wouldn't have guessed that | 19:13 |
| ch | for grml-debootstrap we excluded building unstable because it was broken too often. but maybe it's worth having a separate 'unstable qa only' pipeline just to check on the state of unstable/amd64 daily :> | 19:14 |
| ch | josch: last thought before i go to where i already should be: even if qemu without kvm accel is painfully slow, and say it takes an hour for a simple test, it might still be worth it | 19:29 |
| ch | josch: at least you'll know userland is okish, kernel is okish | 19:30 |
| josch | ch: but i'm running this pipeline very often | 19:30 |
| ch | hmm | 19:30 |
| josch | so maybe this is something that should be added selectively only for "main" | 19:30 |
| ch | maybe for the nightly pipeline then? | 19:30 |

| mrbcmorris | josch: yeah the when: manual flag helps here. | 20:31 |
| josch | ah that was it! | 21:00 |
| josch | mrbcmorris: thank you :) | 21:00 |
| minute | josch: i've been out of touch for the last 2 hours, any news on what's breaking the images? | 21:11 |
| minute | otherwise i could go in and debug a bit with imx8mp | 21:11 |
| josch | minute: ch found the bug in Debian unstable, it's this one: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1079022 | 21:15 |
| + ueli (~ueli@bbcs-121-132.pub.wingo.ch) | 21:16 | |
| minute | josch: oh thank you! looks like it's _almost_ fixed/worked around? | 21:33 |
| josch | minute: not quite. There is disagreement over how this should be fixed: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1079038 | 21:44 |
| josch | or rather, what a "fix" is and what is just a "workaround" which the release team does not like | 21:44 |
| minute | meh :D but will they do a downgrade temporarily or no? | 21:49 |
| minute | ah, that's part of the discussion | 21:49 |
| mrbcmorris | Hey minute I just saw the pocket reform update! Congrats on getting them all shipped! Is the best way to order the new configuraiton through the update on Crowd Supply or should I wait for the udpate to the shop.mntre.com? | 22:05 |

| minute | mrbcmorris: crowd supply is probably a good idea then. you can order the recommended wifi card from asiaRF directly (faster than the built-in one of bpi cm4): https://asiarf.com/product/m27612-bu3-wi-fi-m-2-b-key-module-2242-2230-mt7612u-11ac-2x2-867-mbps/ | 22:39 |
| mrbcmorris | Awesome thanks minute. I'm excited to get my hands on one of these devices | 22:51 |
| mrbcmorris | Whats the main rationale for the separate wifi card from the onboard RTW88? Just better speed/performance? | 22:57 |
| mrbcmorris | I need to dig into schematics and understand the cost of tying up an m2 port with a wifi card | 22:58 |
| minute | mrbcmorris: that m.2 slot has only usb signals, mainly designed in for WWAN card (broadband) | 23:00 |
| minute | mrbcmorris: the rtl8822cs on the bpi cm4 can only achieve 20-30mbit/s with current drivers and has connection stalls sometimes | 23:00 |
| mrbcmorris | thanks for letting me pester you today with questions. I hope I can give back to the community somehow in the future as a repayment | 23:04 |
