xhaany suggestions on a card that could work?06:58

minutexha: ok so. if you don't have network on the machine, you can do: rmmod dwmac_rk; gpioset -c 3 23=0 (needs to be quit with ctrl-c); gpioset -c 3 23=1 (ctrl-c as well); modprobe dwmac_rk17:06
minutexha: that should make the ethernet work after a few seconds17:06
minutexha: then you can apt update; apt upgrade. 17:06
minutexha: but if you have usb ethernet or something you can skip the reviving it manually17:07
xhai have usb ethernet, but i am going to run your commands for extra fun.17:07
minutexha: (everything as root btw)17:08
minutexha: cool, let me know your findings17:08
xhaok well neither rmmod or modprobe is installed so i guess i am going to use usb ethernet :D17:11
joschxha: maybe you are not root. Those utilities are in sbin17:11
joschxha: try running this: dpkg-query --search /sbin/rmmod17:12
joschyou should have the "kmod" package installed17:12
minutexha: sudo su17:12
xhaoops, you're right, they are actually installed. i would've expected they are in $PATH when i do "su"17:12
minutexha: try sudo su instead of su17:12
xhaok that works! thanks.17:13
minutexha: niiice17:15
xhasorry to disappoint you, but i can just run the commands, ethernet does not work yet :D17:16
minutexha: ok so. stop after the 3rd command (the one with 23=1)17:17
minutexha: then wait and see if the lights on the ethernet port light up after like 5 seconds17:17
minute(cable needs to be plugged in, sorry)17:17
minutexha: once the lights are on, do the last command (modprobe dwmac_rk)17:18
xhalights on the pocket reform or on the router?17:18
minutexha: sorry i forgot that you're on pocket reform, not on reform. but yeah, lights either on the pocket or on the router17:20
minutethe lights are behind the panel near the network connector so not sure if you can see them 17:21
xhajust did apt update && apt upgrade (with usb ethernet) and after a reboot it did not work, unfortunately. also no lights. still the same DMA errors in dmesg.17:22
minutexha: ok hmmmm sorry for that, that's disappointing... uname -a gives 6.11.4 yes?17:24
minutexha: did ethernet work before, with the old imx8mp module?17:24
xhayup, 6.11.4-mnt-reform-arm6417:25
xhai never tried17:25
xhashould i?17:25
minutexha: if that's not a big hassle then yeah, then we can confirm everything is ok with the pocket itself17:26
xhasure. gimme a sec17:26
xhayes, internet works with the imx8mp. dmesg says "imx-dwmac 30bf0000.ethernet end1: Link is Up - 1Gbps/Full - flow control rx/tx"17:33
minutexha: ok, then maybe we should do a module swap of your rcore rk358817:35
minutei'm updating all modules right now that aren't shipped yet and so far the fix always works17:36

xhahttps://xha.li/paste/thing.txt17:47
xhai think everything is up-to-date?17:47
joschxha: you are absolutely correct. Everything is up-to-date and you are running the latest kernel from the MNT repo17:50
xhaok now there are some truely weird things happening. the rockchip wouldn't turn off ("systemctl poweroff", and the green light on the module would still light after a minute) and when i tried to hard power it off or view the battery usage using the old display it would show a "T" in the upper left corner. i am very sure that i did not break anything hardware wise. it works and boots again after18:02
xhaa hard reset using the "RST button" on the mainboard, although i once again had the bug with the keyboard (after another reboot it worked though)18:02
xha(keyboard bug == keyboard wouldn't work)18:03
xhas/old display/oled display/18:03
xhaso yes, it would probably be a good idea to swap modules. not sure what is wrong here... /o\18:06
minutexha: T means timeout, probably system controller crash18:06
minutexha: if you power cycle the whole thing with the little standby switch, it should be fine again 18:06
xhayeah, it works fine after that.18:07
minutexha: ok, we'll make you an UPS label to get your board back and send you another one. please send a mail to support@mntre.com and say the return/exchange was authorized on IRC by me, ups return label plz18:07

minutehmm, i wonder if this is set too late https://github.com/torvalds/linux/blob/master/drivers/phy/rockchip/phy-rockchip-samsung-hdptx.c#L112918:28

minutemhoye: in reform?21:25
mhoyeYes.21:25
mhoyeI cannot emphasize how smooth this is, it is like oiled glass. It is so disappointing that it's unusable.21:26
mhoyeThat said, your designing that trackball so just two little screws on the top are all you need to open that up and clean it out? That was a very nice touch. 21:26
minutemhoye: why is it unusable? not able to track it?21:32
minute(the sensor i mean)21:32
mhoyetoo reflective, I think.21:45
minuteminute: 21:48
minutemhoye: maybe the surface could be changed somehow slightly? some sort of spray, or other imperfections?21:48
mhoyeI've got a second option coming in, I'll try that before resorting to modifying the finish on this one.21:54
mhoyeRoughing up something that's intended to be precise to within an eighth of a micrometer seems... wrong though.21:56
minutemhoye: :D22:06
minutei found another option for the ethernet problem xha 22:07
minutewe've been unpacking all shipments and re-testing all rcores and updating them etc, so i found a few where the ethernet still wouldn't bodge with the workaround, but!22:07
minutei found out it works when turning around the 125mhz rgmii clock22:07
minutewhile scoping i also noticed we should lower the MDIO pullup resistor from 4.7k to 1k to make that signal nicer, but it doesn't seem to make a real difference22:08
Twodisbetterminute: is the intention to crowdsouce the Reform Next as well? It is looking great, BTW. I lament the loss of the trackball, but the design, as usual, is top notch on it. I feel like I'm going to end up with every MNT laptop that you will make. Hahaha22:10

minutei have to say pocket reform with rk3588 has mostly taken over from reform for me in the last weeks...22:22
minutebut if i was traveling for a longer time or sth i would surely use reform because of the larger screen and keyboard22:22
minutebut pocket is lighter in my backpack and docks easily with my dell at home and fits on any table here at the studio for serial debugging. still handles unlimited amount of browser tabs with 32gigs+8 cores.22:23

hramrachhow are temperatures with the CPU module against tha trackpad in reform-next?23:17
minutehramrach: it's not really going against the trackpad, but the bottom of the aluminum case (which wasn't milled yet, ETA november 8). in the photos the mainboard is upside down basically23:21
minutexha: when you have time, can you put rk3588 back in your pocket reform and install this deb on the machine? https://source.mnt.re/reform/reform-debian-packages/-/jobs/6407/artifacts/file/repo/pool/main/l/linux/linux-image-6.11.4-mnt-reform-arm64_6.11.4-1+reform20241025T201754Z_arm64.deb23:22

minutegourd753: theoretically this plugin is needed, but i see i didn't push the version for the v4 kbd yet, sorry for that! it needs a bigger number of columns set https://source.mnt.re/reform/reform-openrgb23:31

gourd753Gotcha. The keyboard itself is... going to need to get some getting used to for me. I keep mistyping everything.23:32
minutegourd753: oh, i wonder why?23:33
gourd753The spacing/key size feels... off or something? I think it's them being tighter packed than most desktop keyboards I'm used to.23:34

minutecoming from the model M must be quite the difference indeed23:35
