joschjogu: i was very excited reading your ZMK forum post recently. I really want to try it out. I'm currently typing this on a classic Reform with keyboard 2.0 and my classic Reform with keyboard V4 is currently in repair at MNT. I have another keyboard V4 here without switches which I could use to test ZMK once I find some time.10:16
joschThe original firmware seems to somehow crash in situations when lots of data is shoved over USB. For example with effects I choose in OpenRGB. Is the instability you see with ZMK also connected to more stuff being transferred via usb?10:17

midfavilai wonder - will there be any support for external GPUs with desktop reform? i've been wanting to upgrade to the new mainboard for my classic for a while, and if I could hook up this old single-slot quadro i have kicking around with quad DP to the desktop, that would be a comfy little setup without needing any proprietary stuff... depending on system module, of course11:03
joschmidfavila: MNT had an external GPU working with desktop reform in the past11:04
joschi experimented with that too and got display output but never got it to run any wayland compositor11:04
midfavilaoh, nice!11:07
midfavilai can't speak to wayland but i'd sure love to tinker with getting X running11:07
joschit was running but with render artifacts -- you can find my experiments in the irc logs11:08
midfavilai'll have to peek 11:08
jogujosch: Not exactly lots USB data,  but it's correlated to the firmware "doing more" e.g. a render loop with a static image to the oled every 100ms, RGB animations, etc. I spent a couple months trying everything I could on the firmware side and thing it's actually something hardware related (maybe the crystal, maybe routing, maybe EMF) 11:09
joguI can't repro it on similar RP2040 based boards either, so was looking into getting a pocket keyboard and seeing if that also has the same issues but was going to wait for V1.511:11
[tj]josch: the pocket firmware crashes from a hard power off sitting at idle11:11

minutejogu: it's definitely too late for that. we can just modify the driver?12:43
minutemidfavila: i have a kernel branch which allows to use amd gpus with rk358812:44
minutejogu: it's very possible you're hitting a HW issue with the original pocket keyboard. i think it should be fixed in 1.5 (better crystal, better routing+caps placement)12:45

joguminute: I think it's possible to modify the driver to poll but since it won't be event driven might mess up sleep management. Haven't done much digging on sleep management yet though so I'm not sure.12:49
joguIt's not a super big issue for me personally (I don't have a pocket) but was looking at how hard it would be to support it as well as the classic/next. Pretty trivial outside of the motion pin thing I mentioned12:51
joguminute: For clarity, the issues I mentioned are on a standalone V4 keyboard not a pocket keyboard. I want to test on a pocket keyboard to see if it exhibits similar behavior under ZMK but was going to wait for the V1.5 revision12:51

minutelidstah: very nice, thanks for sharing!19:25
minutejogu: if you have a rp2040 .uf2 build of the pocket zmk firmware around, i could test it on kbd 1.5. there's only one relatively trivial difference, one new gpio has to be turned on to make enable the keyboard backlight. but that's not important to test this usb issue19:27
^alexoo they put Zmk on the pocket keyboard?19:28
lidstahminute: thank you and the MNT team for making such a great little (well,not that little) computer :D19:35

siviqlidstah Congrats for the new machine. I'm curios, what charger did you end up using for the MNT Classic? I have one power supply from Dell, 65W type-C. Think should do the job just fine. But always can get something better, if you recommend.23:19

kfxI've used a steam deck charger, but I can't remember if it's the one that came with the deck or one that came with the dock23:45
lidstahboth should be identical23:45
kfxthe one that came with the dock came with a shorter power cable, but according to valve they're otherwise the same23:46
lidstahI have the dock too (I use the SD as a google meet/ms teams machine at work as I work from home mainly)23:47
lidstahnever thought about comparing the cable sizes between the two chargers23:48
lidstahalbeit I know that the one powering the dock is the one which came with it23:48
kfxthe only reason I noticed the difference is that my wife stole my charger, then brought it back and stole the other one because the cable was longer.23:48
