vagrantcwill also need to add a keyboard driver for u-boot ... and then i will at least maybe be able to use the serial console for debugging boot issues without another computer00:00
vagrantcheh. now it is reading 19 amps at 0 volts ... :)00:01
minutevagrantc: this data is funny but meaningless. the best way to test for corruption is to find the reform2-lpc sysfs files and do a bash loop to cat the file called "firmware"00:03
minutevagrantc: if there are repeated letters or missing words in the output sometimes, it's no good00:03
vagrantcdon't see a "firmware" file anywhere under /sys/class/power_supply/BAT0/00:06
vagrantchmmm... /sys/class/power_supply/BAT0/device/firmware ?00:08
minutevagrantc: sudo find /sys -name "firmware"00:08
minutevagrantc: yeah00:08
minutevagrantc: there's some other stuff in that directory too. in the reform2-lpc.c you can see which sysfs files it creates too00:09
vagrantcfind was unhelpfully not scanning under the symlinks (i know, it's an option...)00:09
vagrantcACTION fires up a great for loop00:11
joschvagrantc: /sys/bus/spi/drivers/reform2_lpc/spi1.0/firmware00:23
vagrantcreading /sys/bus/spi/drivers/reform2_lpc/spi1.0/firmware so far seems to just be a bunch of lines01:01
vagrantci did try with the patches applied in https://source.mnt.re/reform/reform-tools/-/merge_requests/144 ... although not yet with the extended timeouts suggested in the comments01:02
vagrantcstill getting wacky readings ... will try with the extended timeouts...01:03

vagrantcfirst boot looks quite promising!02:00
vagrantcthough i have had it work before and then ... just stop02:01
vagrantcbut worked from a warm boot where it was previously giving wacky erratic readings (as noted on the channel :)02:01
vagrantcACTION tries from a cold boot.02:02
vagrantcwell, not terribly cold, my serial port is still warmed up :)02:03
vagrantcand second boot was disappointing02:04

reform16390I switched by installing task-kde-desktop and selecting Plasma (wayland) at login, I also had to set the KWIN_FORCE_SW_CURSOR=1 workaround in /etc/environment , I'm not sure if sddm is ignoring /etc/profile.d?07:24
joschi haven't noticed that but KWIN_FORCE_SW_CURSOR=1 is for the cursor not for the alt-tab dialog which may be another (maybe similar) issue07:29
joschminute wanted to report the KWIN_FORCE_SW_CURSOR=1 bug but i don't know if that has happened yet07:29

joschch: can you recommend me one of these magical usb hubs which are able to supply my pocket with power *and* allow me to use the usb port for data? Feel free to recommend a hub about which you wondered whether it works at all or not. :)10:39
[tj]josch: I have an anker hub that I use as a single cable for my framework10:40
[tj]the audio in it died so its two cables...10:40
[tj]https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B08NDGD2V510:40
[tj]I also have this: https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0C3GDT9XN10:45
[tj]but there is a lot of noise on the display port10:45
chjosch: the ones i have all suck one way or another. on the one i carry around the power passthrough died10:45
joschjeeez these have ethernet too?? o0 the future has arrived10:46
joschif they all suck i'll just grab a second-hand hub from somebody in the area -- i don't need much :)10:48
[tj]you probably just need to look for pd pass through10:49
joschbut apparently the hub i have, even though it has a usb-c plug only gives 480MBit/s to my webcam and plugging it into the pocket directly gives me 5GBit/s10:49
joschindeed10:49
[tj]how do I verify usb speed?10:50
joschstackoverflow told me to use lsusb -t10:50
[tj]do I need to connect a device?10:50
joschin practice, the webcam only does 1080p@60 when the lsusb -t output shows 5000M for the camera10:50
joschno, it shows a the usb device tree including the ports10:51
[tj]this says the port with power is only 480M10:54

Guest5Hello14:11
Guest5Can someone help me understand some things in regard to hardware security? I'm looking forward to setup a system with little to no proprietary code. No management engines, no cpu microcode, etc etc, ideally i would be able to run qubes os, but any debian based distro should be fine in general... I have in my horizon something by raptor computing14:16
Guest5systems(which i hope to avoid due to the cost), an old thinkpad, a risc v computer or a mnt(which seems to be different). I understand my question may go slightly beyond the scope of this chat but I would very much appreciate if at least you could shed some light on the differences from mnt users perspective. Thank you in advance... :)14:16
gordon2current mnt reform (classic or pocket I assume) with rk3588 module includes small proprietary blob from manufacturer to do DRAM training14:20
gordon2can't be 100% sure for other modules, but i would assume i.MX-based modules should be completely blob-free14:21

minuteok, after much testing and discussion, we need another charger board rev with buckboost charger (higher voltage to motherboard), and stronger cells or 3 cells (2 will be easier to do at first though, for example 2x 5000mAh), and also power mgmt in the sysctl firmware and keyboard firmware23:53
