jogud_m: Super late but, I did exactly what you're saying and made a 5u spacebar that goes on top of the 3 split spacebar switches. I ended up going back to the split space bar as it doesn't work very well.02:33
joguSince there's no stabilizer you end up actuating either just the left switch or just the right switch most of the time, but force more central on the single space actuates all 3. 02:34
joguIt also feels a lot heavier, probably because there's 3 springs you're pushing down on now02:35
joguAfter a few weeks I'm pretty used to the split space now so maybe give it some more time?02:41
d_mjogu: thanks. i guess i will continue to try to get used to it while also exploring the excitnig world of kicad and keyboard layouts and see which makes progress faster02:44
joguyeah, it was a fun chance to learn some freecad / 3d print something for the first time 02:52
joguat least the riser bar I made worked out better haha02:52
joguI've also got some aspirations to make a custom PCB, but mostly for hot swap sockets than layout changes02:56

mwcampbellI have a question about the MNT Reform with the RCore RK3588 module. If an SD card with a valid RK3588 boot loader is inserted, does the SoC always prioritize the SD card over eMMC? And if so, is the SD card prioritized at the SoC boot ROM level, or does the SoC still load u-boot from the eMMC? I ask because I've seen boards where you have to set some kind of switch or jumper to boot from SD even if the eMMC is wiped.06:31

joschmwcampbell: unfortunately there is neither switch nor jumper on the firefly icore board. The board will try to load the bootloader (there are stages before u-boot) from eMMC first and if that worked, boot that. Only if eMMC is wiped will the board load the bootloader (including u-boot) from sd-card.07:54
mwcampbellOK, but it _will_ fall back to the SD card if the eMMC module is there but doesn't contain a valid boot loader?07:56
joschmwcampbell: yes07:56
mwcampbelljosch: Thank you.07:56
mwcampbellSo once I get my MNT Reform Next (whenever those ship), if I want to tinker with the boot loader and OS without risk of bricking the device, I guess the safest thing to do is to wipe the first 16 MB of eMMC first, then boot from SD.08:03

Guest68good morning - how are you rocking your reform laptops? anyone knows where i can find the resources again for the second "mpcie?" slot in the i.mx8mp pocket reform? i wanna know what I can install on the board? also can i create a forum topic where people show their modifications? if yes, should i post it for the pocket reform only or for general09:20

mwcampbellI'm curious, does the RK3588 module have worse baseline power consumption than any of the other modules?09:48
joschmwcampbell: "power consumption" is extremely tricky to measure. I have a RK3588 classic Reform here. Tell me a workload and i'll do a battery runtime test for you.09:50
mwcampbellThe two that I'm curious about are screen-off idle (but not fully suspended) and screen-off with audio playback.09:51
joschmwcampbell: okay, check back here in ~4-5 hours i think09:52
joschmwcampbell: would you like me to idle in gnome or sway?09:54
mwcampbellsway please09:54
mwcampbellThanks!09:55
joschmwcampbell: in the meantime, you have read battery power related threads on the forum, yes?09:57

jfredOn the subject of external LEDs, I've found it useful on other laptops when they have a power status LED that indicates if the machine is on/off/suspended. Less important while suspend isn't working (and if there's not a lid switch) but after closing a laptop it's helpful to know that it did in fact suspend and thus won't roast itself in your bag13:38
gordon1on 6.16.4 still "phy link never came up" :(13:45
gordon1also usb-c console is awesome of course, but still kernel update is requiring a good clench every time during reboot, it would really be nice to have display console on u-boot13:46
abortretryfailmwcampbell: I also had the same question about baseline/idle power consumption, since the imx8mq is surprisingly not great in that department.13:48

[tj]yeah, can't really request hardware features for the computer on my desk14:49
[tj]that is called "a soldering iron"14:49
[tj]there is an led behind the ix industrial port, but I'm pretty sure it doesn't indicate charging is done14:50
jfreddepending on which version of the reform mobo you have I bet that's something that could be added via the qwiic port :)15:06
jfred(my own reform is too old for that)15:07
jfredand yeah the series of LEDs on older macbooks and such for charge state was nice. I do appreciate that the OLED panel gives you even more info than that though even while the machine is off, I think the reforms are the only computers I know of where I can see the individual cell voltages(!) without booting the machine15:10
