| patsavoura | the lpc and keyboard firmware that I have installed and figure out if they need upgrading ? | 11:06 |
| josch | patsavoura: you can check the firmware versions on the oled menu -- select the "System Status" entry | 11:07 |
| josch | patsavoura: but, if you are going away for the summer and your unit is working fine right now, maybe start tinkering with it once you do not have to rely on it? :) | 11:08 |
| josch | patsavoura: you can also put the reform-check output into a pastebin and i could tell you if it says anything interesting in your situation | 11:08 |

| josch | Guest57: hi | 13:22 |
| patsavoura | josch don't mention it. After all what could wrong :D ? i would just reinstall everything and start fresh. The mentioned package names for firmware-* don't correspond to actual packages or so apt install x tells me. | 13:26 |
| - Guest57 (QUIT: Ping timeout: 272 seconds) (~Guest57@91.174.57.87) | 13:29 | |
| josch | patsavoura: oh? Could you pastebin (or paste it here if it's short) the output of this: apt-get indextargets 'Component: non-free-firmware' --format '$(URI)' | 13:29 |
| patsavoura | I've seen it now i don't have non-free enabled that's why. | 13:31 |
| patsavoura | i usually enable everything contrib non-free etc on first boot on all my installs, dunno why it wasn't there. and also first time i see the modern way of configuring sources | 13:33 |
| josch | patsavoura: not non-free -- the firmware has now been moved to non-free-firmware | 13:34 |
| josch | patsavoura: modern way of configuring sources? you mean in the deb822 format? | 13:35 |
| patsavoura | Not sure about the naming but probably. it says so on the first line comment modernized from /etc/apt/sources.list so I guess that is the new way of configuring sources | 13:38 |
| patsavoura | let's get to another reboot | 13:41 |
| josch | patsavoura: ah yes, indeed apt tries to switch the default from the one-line format to deb822 and "apt modernize-sources" is a converter program from one-line to deb822 | 13:42 |
| josch | patsavoura: the main advantage of deb822 is, that you can embed pgp keys in the same file | 13:42 |
| patsavoura | hm flashing emmc with the v4 image let's see how that will go. | 13:46 |
| josch | patsavoura: there is little benefit for you in doing so, no? | 13:48 |
| josch | patsavoura: or do you want to switch your /boot from sd-card to emmc? | 13:48 |
| patsavoura | if there is no sd inserted will it try to boot from emmc automatically or just complain? | 13:53 |
| patsavoura | i didn't want to switch boot from the sd and that's why i thought flashing the emmc would be safe. but if sometime my sd gets lost or corrupted the emmc would have the latest system image on it, or so i thought | 13:55 |
| josch | patsavoura: that depends where your SoM loads u-boot from | 13:56 |
| josch | patsavoura: the imx8mq is the only SoM in the reform ecosystem with a DIP switch that lets you select whether it should load u-boot from sd-card or emmc -- and it will not faill back to the other if it cannot find it in one of them | 13:56 |
| patsavoura | i guess it's the sd since that is what's written in reform-check and today i couldn't boot the machine because the sd was ejected | 13:56 |
| josch | patsavoura: no, reform-check told you about the /boot partition, not about u-boot | 13:57 |
| josch | patsavoura: some documentation: https://source.mnt.re/reform/reform-handbook/-/issues/2 | 13:57 |

| bkeys | josch: Yes the first few kb of this file are just zeros, at least the first 4kb are | 16:29 |
| bkeys | I think right now the issue isn't edk2 at all, for some reason when I flash Fedora onto the emmc the GPT table gets corrupted (which really shouldn't happen) and that's the cause of this | 16:40 |
| bkeys | I just have no clue why, the image is verified and I have been using it this whole time | 16:40 |
| josch | bkeys: when you "flash fedora" what does that mean? I'd expect it means writing a disk image to emmc. In that case, of course the partition table you had there before gets wiped, no? | 16:47 |

| - aperezdc (QUIT: Remote host closed the connection) (~aperezdc@46.23.89.43) | 16:51 | |
| josch | depends on what "currupted" means. GPT stores a copy of the partition table at the end of the disk -- if the partition table at the start and end disagree, your partitioning software might tell you that it's corrupted | 16:53 |
| bkeys | I'm not super knowledgable here, but what I mean is A) booting edk2 won't work unless I flash the image bluntly instead of using the command minute showed me yesterday | 16:55 |
| bkeys | https://paste.centos.org/view/67d88a5d | 16:55 |
| bkeys | And gdisk is telling me it's damaged right after writing the image | 16:55 |

| bkeys | https://github.com/edk2-porting/edk2-rk3588?tab=readme-ov-file#updating-the-firmware | 16:56 |
| bkeys | This is the command minute showed me and it worked, it let Fedora co-exist with edk2 | 16:56 |
| bkeys | I just don't think the GPT thing in gdisk is inconsequential given the uboot error I posted last night complaining about the GPT table | 16:57 |
| josch | bkeys: in that dd command, the skip=64 seek=64 is what skips the first 64 512 byte blocks in *both* the FIRMWARE.img and DESTINATION | 17:09 |
| josch | bkeys: that way, the partition table at the start of DESTINATION does not get overwritten | 17:09 |
| bkeys | Okay that makes sense to me | 17:09 |
| josch | bkeys: and at the same time the offset of the data in FIRMWARE.img does not change because you skip as much as you seek | 17:09 |

| josch | bkeys: this is a raspberry pi image??? | 17:52 |
| patsavoura | I want to know because I changed my og keyboard to the japanese one and I am trying to figure what to flash so that the keys correspond to what it's written on them. Keys between spaces are left and right alt which should be henkan and kana | 17:52 |
| bkeys | josch: You can use it on rpi but afaik it's a generic image | 17:52 |
| bkeys | It's running on the Reform rn | 17:52 |
| josch | patsavoura: there is no language specific firmware -- you should be able to change this in the OS | 17:53 |
| patsavoura | and also hyper doesn't seem to send anything in evtest | 17:53 |
| josch | patsavoura: hyper is a modifier which changes the keyboard matrix to another one | 17:53 |
| josch | bkeys: you could create a GUID partition layout with partitions of exactly the same size as those MSDOS partitions and then dd both /boot and / partition over | 17:54 |
| patsavoura | let's relog and see if in gnome these buttons send left and right alt | 17:57 |

| bkeys | josch: Yeah the Fedora ARM maintainer concurs the GPT thing is supposed to be there | 17:59 |
| bkeys | It's an msdos disk | 17:59 |
| + patsavoura (~patsavour@5.203.167.7) | 18:06 | |
| patsavoura | josch I have this version of the keyboard http://web.archive.org/web/20230227150837/https://shop.mntre.com/spree/products/266/mini/reform2-keyboard-v6-lettering-japanese-medium-paths.jpg but no matter what language I have selected in both gnome and sway the middle buttons always send left and right alt and also the alt + fn buttons on the right of | 18:20 |
| patsavoura | the right space sends page down and page up. Like the default og keyboard. That's what I am trying to change. | 18:20 |
| patsavoura | I guess I can try to do that in software but since on the keyboard firmware there is a difference between US and non US keyboards I thought there would be a specific firmware for each available version of the keyboard | 18:24 |
| josch | patsavoura: the difference between US and intl is a single key | 18:25 |
| patsavoura | Then i'll have to look for other ways to hijack the keypresses and send what i want | 18:25 |
| josch | patsavoura: you would usually do that via a hwdb.d entry | 18:26 |
| josch | patsavoura: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Map_scancodes_to_keycodes | 18:26 |
| josch | this will work if the keys send individual scancodes | 18:27 |
| josch | on my personal keyboard i am using a custom firmware because i want the two space bars do different things. Since both space bar keys are sending the same scancode, i *had* to modify the firmware. | 18:28 |
| patsavoura | and lastly, I've seen a report of something similar or the same but using the rk module. I remember that at some point earlier I didn't have that issue. When I run sudo shutdown -h now (my way of turning the machine down) it seems to shut down but the backlight and probably other stuff don't power off, where i do circle + 0. But I definitely | 18:33 |
| patsavoura | remember it shutting down before. | 18:33 |
| josch | patsavoura: this is an issue with the rk3588, yes | 18:34 |
| josch | patsavoura: but it is specific to that. With my A311D it shuts down just fine. | 18:34 |
| patsavoura | but im on the imx8mq | 18:34 |
| josch | patsavoura: please ping me later and i can try it out | 18:34 |
| patsavoura | ok | 18:34 |
| patsavoura | thanks for all the help today | 18:34 |
| josch | i'm afk now i'm afraid | 18:34 |
| patsavoura | I will be off from work in a while too | 18:34 |

| bkeys | Hey guys, I'm testing nvme drives, am I good to put it in there? or does it need to be screwed down for it to be detected? | 20:04 |

| josch | i have some that i just taped down | 21:19 |
| josch | no screw but it should be pushed down for all the contacts to touch | 21:19 |
| bkeys | josch: I got Fedora booted with the Reform kernel and Reform uboot, but the screen isn't showing anything, serial confirms everything is booted and okday | 21:46 |
| bkeys | okay | 21:46 |
| bkeys | Do you have any clue why? | 21:46 |
| minute | bkeys: which dtb? | 22:05 |
| bkeys | minute: Yeah I realized I was forgetting to load it | 22:05 |
| minute | bkeys: output of cat /proc/device-tree/model ? | 22:06 |
| bkeys | minute: MNT Reform 2 with RCORE RK3588 Module | 22:08 |
| bkeys | But that is with the dtb file specified in grub if I'm not mistaken | 22:08 |

| bkeys | minute: So I got it all working flawlessly now with uboot! | 22:53 |
| bkeys | Although the nvme still isn't detected, for whatever reason | 22:53 |
| minute | bkeys: ok great! is the nvme detected in uboot or nowhere? | 22:54 |
| bkeys | Let me look | 22:54 |
| bkeys | Cause it's y'alls copy of uboot and y'alls kernel+dtb | 22:54 |
| bkeys | minute: nvme scan gives no output | 22:54 |
| bkeys | Let me try my other one | 22:54 |
| minute | bkeys: aha. so maybe hw issue | 22:55 |
| bkeys | minute: Maybe, is there a known working model? | 22:56 |
| bkeys | Neither of my drives show up | 22:56 |
| ch | does it work with the official image? | 22:56 |
| bkeys | Never consistently | 22:57 |
| bkeys | I know I have seen nvme drives on this hardware | 22:57 |
| bkeys | 256 gigs is plenty of room for me so if no nvme drive is fine | 22:57 |
| minute | hmm ok then maybe issue with the rcore, rk3588 module or motherboard | 22:57 |
| bkeys | Well for now I'm gonna bask in victory that I got Fedora working on here and worry about nvme later | 22:58 |
| minute | bkeys: that's a good idea | 22:58 |
| minute | bkeys: happy for you that it worked out! we can diagnose your hw at a later point | 22:59 |
| josch | bkeys: so you now have fedora successfully booting from eMMC? | 23:18 |
| bkeys | Yes | 23:18 |
| josch | congrats! :) | 23:18 |
| josch | bkeys: did you write down the steps as a script? | 23:18 |
| bkeys | No it's all in my head | 23:19 |
| josch | just to make sure that you can repro it later | 23:19 |
| bkeys | I need to cool off then I will document for everyone | 23:19 |
| josch | nice, thank you! :) | 23:19 |
| bkeys | josch: Before I close this thing, how do I arrange the antenna optimally in the case to get better range? | 23:20 |
| bkeys | I got three antenna | 23:20 |
| josch | oh i have no idea | 23:21 |
| minute | none of us are radio experts. in general it's a good idea to keep them away from solid metal as much as possible | 23:21 |
| josch | for me, the big quality improvement was the laird antenna that used to be sold in the MNT shop | 23:21 |
| josch | and to keep them away from sheets of metal -- when i tape my antenna too close to the central copper sheet in the pocket reform lid i get zero signal | 23:22 |
| bkeys | Yeah my house has plaster walls so the wifi doesn't penetrate that great | 23:24 |
| bkeys | At the same time I have other computers who's wifi isn't great but it's better than what the Reform gets | 23:24 |
| josch | bkeys: the laird antenna made my reform's reception as good/bad as the one of my thinkpads | 23:26 |
| bkeys | link? | 23:27 |
| josch | bkeys: unfortunately out of stock: https://shop.mntre.com/products/mnt-reform-laird-wi-fi-antenna | 23:28 |
| - Guest57 (QUIT: Quit: Client closed) (~Guest57@91.174.57.87) | 23:28 | |
| bkeys | Yeah it says its not usable with rk3588 anyway | 23:28 |
| josch | bkeys: at the time this description was written, there was no rk3588 :) | 23:29 |
| josch | bkeys: that antenna will fit any wifi card with ipex mhf1 connector | 23:29 |
| bkeys | Yeah what is your wifi set up exactly? | 23:35 |
| josch | at home? in the train? at uni? | 23:35 |
| josch | or the reform itself? | 23:35 |
| bkeys | On your Reform | 23:35 |
| bkeys | If you have decent wifi I could just try to replicate what you are using/doing | 23:35 |
| josch | bkeys: i'm using the A311D on-board wifi | 23:37 |
| bkeys | Ah okay | 23:37 |
| bkeys | This emmc is pretty nimble I don't even know I'll want nvme | 23:38 |
| minute | bkeys: emmc uses less power than adding an nvme for sure | 23:43 |
| josch | i have this irrational anxiety that using emmc too much will just kill my board due to bad blocks happening after too many writes | 23:49 |
