joschminute: no worries! I hope you didn't pull too much hair out over the issue. At least as far as I can see from here, my order seems to have worked and I even got the confirmation email and everything seems to be in order with it. :)00:37

joschalways happy to exchange some euros for awesome hardware from your shop :)00:46
kunohello!  Where can I find the system image for the pocket reform with A311D?00:48
kunoThe manual at https://mntre.com/documentation/pocket-reform-handbook/software.html#flashing-the-system-image seems to link to system images for the regular reform, or do those also work on the pocket?00:48
joschoh no....00:49
joschminute: the link https://mnt.re/system-image is broken yet again00:49
joschminute: reason: i ran a pipeline with the branch linux6.12 from reform-debian packages with just a311d for classic reform to test the displa problem ephase found00:50
joschi'm going to delete these artifacts to not confuse users00:52
joschi wonder if i should start another run of the images even though we know that linux6.12 is broken on a311d classic reform?00:52
joschkuno: thank you for spotting this and reporting the issue00:53
joschkuno: these are the old images: https://source.mnt.re/reform/reform-system-image/-/jobs/7127/artifacts/browse00:54
joschkuno: since you have a a311d pocket reform, it would be valuable if you could test the pocket-reform-system-a311d.img.gz and report back whether your display turns on or not00:55
+ jacobk (~quassel@47-186-65-73.dlls.tx.frontiernet.net)00:59
kunoMy pocket is currently still an i.MX8Mplus I think.  But I have the a311d module here, and hoping to install it this evening.01:01
joschthen i hope that 6.12 only broke a311d display on classic reform and not on pocket reform as well01:02
joschi'm trying to allocate time to investigate this over the weekend01:02
- cobra (QUIT: Ping timeout: 265 seconds) (~cobra@user/Cobra)01:04
kunoso I flash the image to an sd card, I swap the module, and boot from the SD card.   If the screen doesn't turn on, that's an issue with the (linux kernel version) on the rescue image?01:04
- mtm (QUIT: Ping timeout: 276 seconds) (~textual@47.202.75.129)01:04
joschkuno: yes, maybe. There were not yet any a311d pocket users who reported that it fails for them but there also none yet who reported success with kernel 6.1201:05
joschkuno: if you unsure, you of course can also wait until the situation has been resolved01:05
joschsorry for the trouble01:05
kunono, that's fine, I'm ok with trying.   _IF_ I run into the display issue, is there an older system image I can use?01:06
joschlets check...01:06

joschhttps://source.mnt.re/reform/reform-system-image/-/jobs/6974/artifacts/browse01:07
joschmaybe try with those first to make sure that your hardware works as expected01:07
joschand if everything works, give the more recent image a try01:07
joschminute: could you manually fix https://mnt.re/system-image so that it points to https://source.mnt.re/reform/reform-system-image/-/jobs/6974/artifacts/browse thank you!01:07
kunoI'm downloading both, but I don't mind trying the newer image first.01:08

minutejosch: have we looked at our own patchstack yet?10:05
minutejosch: i'm thinking about anything drivers/gpu/meson related that might have changed in our 6.12 patches vs 6.11 10:36
joschminute: yes, by accident i just built a kernel during bisecting that did *not* have our patch stack applied10:45
joschand that kernel exhibited exactly the failure i'm looking for: backlight turns on but nothing is shown10:45
joscha common mistake would just be that by rebasing the patches, the dtsi patches got applied in the wrong location, just being without effect10:46
joschlet me rephrase the last part of my sentence which i botched:10:47
joschi would not be surprised if one of the dtsi patches got applied at the wrong location because the device tree patches have to work with very little context (just some opening and closing braces)10:47
joschor, another theory: our patches got applied correctly but they got applied to a component that is no longer used and thus the patch becomes ineffective10:49
joschi have 10 more bisection steps to go, maybe you find out more by staring at the patches but if you rather have a free saturday, i'll probably be done by tonight10:50
joscheach kernel build takes 45 minutes on a311d10:50

minutebkeys: i'm not really sure if it hangs there or if it switches to display and you don't get to see that. do you have an HDMI monitor & cable? then you could try having that plugged in at boot. i think the a311d defaults to hdmi then22:12
