chminute: i was wondering if i could buy a pocket reform mobo, so i dont have to worry about breaking my assembled pocket reform when doing further sysctl experiments00:20

Twodisbetterminute: is there a Bluetooth option available for pockets upgrading to the RK?12:58
minuteTwodisbetter: not yet13:00
Twodisbetterminute: and is using my existing imx8plus nvme with the RK a simple swap and use kind of thing? Is the RK's emmc already flashed with uboot, etc?13:01
Twodisbetterminute: or do I use an sdcard with it?13:01

minuteTwodisbetter: thank you!14:07
Twodisbetterminute: the preflashing means that the RK is expecting to boot from NVMe out of the box right? So it is a simple swapping in of the SoC and adding the m2 wifi card, and then just powering on and going forward from there.14:55
TwodisbetterIf so that is pretty convienent! 14:56
minuteTwodisbetter: it's not _that_ simple because you would have to "reconnect" your nvme as the root device basically, for example using reform-boot-config. i recently wrote about it in community but i think we can still make this process easier 14:57
Twodisbetterminute: ok, if running the boot-config command is all you need to do, it is still pretty easy14:57
joschTwodisbetter: it is currently a bit more complicated than that. But given the correct tooling, the migration can be improved.15:00
Twodisbetterok, well I'll make sure to share my feedback on the process once I go through it15:01
joschTwodisbetter: to my knowledge there is little support in distros for "take the rootfs and put it in a computer with a different /boot and expect things to continue to work"15:01
joschThe main issue is, that the knowledge of how to mount your rootfs and how you decided to set things up is encoded in the initramfs15:02
joschAnother issue is, that your rootfs might've run under different kernel version than the one in your swapped out /boot15:02
joschSo some process is needed to re-create /boot in such a way as your OS on nvme expects it15:02
Twodisbetterjosch: I understand. I supopose if I had to start from scratch I wouldnt be that upset. 15:03
TwodisbetterTo be fair though, I have done this on Windows many times. Not saying that is a good thing though, just was convienent at the time.15:03
joschTwodisbetter: how did you do it on windows?15:03
joschTwodisbetter: on windows you just took out the nvme which included your kernel and put it into a different computer. But on the reform, your kernel is on eMMC and the rest is on your rootfs15:04
Twodisbetterjosch: simply move the nvme drive, reset bios settings, and boot15:04
joschright, that's a different thing15:04
joschwith imx8mplus or a311d or imx8mq, you have /boot on your sd-card or on eMMC15:04
Twodisbetterjosch: true but windows builds a boot key based on hardware, so it is possible you could hose things if the system changes to omuch, or however MS defines that15:05
joschso when you take out your nvme, you only take out part of your installation and not all of it as you do when you take out your nvme with windows15:05
Twodisbetteryep15:05
Twodisbetterstill fingers crossed it works without much of a hitch15:05
joschthis will get better once u-boot or edk2 can boot directly from nvme15:05
Twodisbetteractually I am hoping the RKs get in stock soon! hahahaha15:06
joschbecause then you can do the same thing as on your windows box15:06
joschbecause then /boot can live on your nvme as well15:06
joschbut that's not yet the case on imx8mplus, a311d or imx8mq15:06
Twodisbetterjosch: sounds like a glorious day is not too far off15:06
joschyes, i heard minute made it work for a311d with u-boot already15:06
minutei have this vague idea where reform-setup-wizard, run from emmc/sd, would detect that there's an nvme with a reform/debian system image present and it could ask if you want to boot from that in the future, and it would make that happen15:08
joschcould be done but can become quite complex quickly with all the different options of how people have configured their nvme (think luks, lvm2, swap etc)15:09

Twodisbetterminute: the power draw on the Pocket for my particular use case is about 600-1200 mah with the IMX8mplus20:57

joschi like the term "gardening" :)22:06
