elb`minute: I was actually just thinking about soldering a cap on near the motherboard input today!  Maybe I'll do that this weekend.  I try to remember to turn the keyboard backlight off manually after boot, I need to either put in a systemd script or just turn it off in my custom keyboard build01:53

theglitchHey Ho, Q: if I order on crowdsupply will it be shipped from DE? I am located in DE and would rather avoid unneccessary customs fees, currency conversions etc.09:55
* theglitch -> spaetz09:55
spaetzthe mnt reform next, that is09:55
Zabaall Crowdsupply orders ship from mouser in the US10:00
spaetzok, good to know, thanks10:01
joschspaetz: the reform next will be available from the mnt shop in DE after the orders for crowdsupply are fulfilled10:02
spaetzYepp, will be impatiently waiting until then. ;-) (and hope that someone gets suspend working) 10:03
spaetzthanks for the quick answers, appreciated.10:03

joschspaetz: suspend on rk3588 was a topic here recently: https://gitlab.collabora.com/hardware-enablement/rockchip-3588/linux/-/issues/43#note_23872411:15
arjanI just filed a bug report for the reform2_lpc kernel module https://source.mnt.re/reform/reform-tools/-/issues/1111:17
chminute: yeah the keyboard brightness is a real issue imo11:19
chminute: at least a percentage-based setting is on my 'wanted' list for the prefs11:19
joscharjan: i'd like minute to comment on this. I wonder whether there is a better solution than just adding a random msleep(500) to minimize the chances for the race...11:20
chminute: could also ponder a lower upper limit on the brightness, not sure if there's a brightness<>powerusage cliff11:20
joschch: i'm also pondering whether i should allocate some time into writing a small timeout function for the reform keyboard v4 which disables the backlight after inactivity and restores it when keys are getting pressed again -- after all, the keyboard seems to reduce my battery life by 3.8 hours...11:22
chi want that (back) in the kbd firmware11:22
joschch: "back"?11:23
chhttps://source.mnt.re/reform/pocket-reform/-/commit/201720b92ef80a90f056c31878bae16e974f10bc11:24
joschuuuh i wasn't aware11:25
joschyes, i was talking about making this part of the firmware11:25
chotoh some control could/should be given to the linux desktop11:25
joschon the other hand, this would kill people using openrgb to show off11:25
chwhich certainly has apis for this, but i dont know anything about that11:25
joschexactly11:25
joschbut again, this can/should be a setting you should be able to make in the firmware11:25
+ mjw (~mjw@gnu.wildebeest.org)11:39
minutejosch: arjan: thanks, i started to think about this issue, give me a day or two12:28
minutech: josch: i think the best first way is to integrate with desktop idle stuff. then introduce a pref in the fw as well. also, we could immediately like half the default brightness.12:29
minutelets look at how other mobile kbd backlights are wired up with desktop/idle stuff also12:30
minutefor example, the display backlight dimming just works because we register a standard backlight driver12:30
chyes and yes and yes12:30
minutefor usb, a while ago i looked into what rgb/led interfaces are in HID standards12:30
minutebut not sure what's used in the real world12:31
chi still have the rgb thing open in a tab, but it will take time to land i think12:31
joschindeed, i remember having talking about this topic here already once or twice in the past12:31
chbrightness should already be standardized somehow, i hope not only via acpi12:31
minutebtw ailurux ported the pocket display v2 init code to our edk2 fork, and the mipi commands can be sent successfully, just the display doesn't show anything yet. i'm sure it's only a small thing left to do there...12:33
arjancool am looking forward to trying edk2 on the pocket12:34

minutejosch: qcs6490 is quite well supported already in mainline 22:48

minutejosch: about amd64 poc, would be great to merge it in a way that it just shows up next to the other images22:49
joschminute: it's not merged because of the question of what to do about the efi partition which needs to be fat3222:50
joschsee our discussion we had here back then22:50
minuteah22:54
joschyou have time for that right now? then i can look up what the remaining issue was from chat logs22:56

joschthe boot partition needs tobe fat32 but fat32 not support symlinks, so just switching /boot to fat32 would remove this feature23:33
joschthe efi partition can be an additional partition, which would mean creating system images with 3 partitions23:33
joschthe first partition would need to be the original /boot23:33
joschthe second one efi and the third one root23:34
joschso the main question is:23:39
joschdo we want three partitions: /boot, efi, /23:39
joschor two partitinos: /boot (fat32 without symlinks), /23:39
+ plomtest0 (~plom@user/plomtest)23:55
minutejosch: ok, so thinking about this a bit: i've never found the symlinks to be useful...23:57
minutejosch: these dtb files are tiny anyway23:58
minutejosch: and also the symlinks don't really seem to be used? afaik uboot loads the fdt from a subdirectory and not /dtb ?23:58
minutejosch: so if technically allowable i would just make /boot fat3223:59
