kasim @josch: did not hear from crowdsupply. What should I do? 00:30
joschkasim: i'm not representing MNT -- best ask minute 00:31
kasimok, will do00:34
kasim@minute: Not sure if you need full context, I baught mnt pocket reform from crowd supply and it broke after 30 days. Now it just does not power up. I created return request couple of days ago but still waiting to hear back from them. What options do I have? 00:36
+ oliverD (~Thunderbi@user/oliverd)00:36
minutekasim: strange that they won't answer. first of all i would ask you to complete the troubleshooting wizard on support.mnt.re01:00
minutekasim: it's probably a charger module issue. the system will explain in the steps what to do/check01:01
kasim@minute: I did the switch on/off and still no luck. Also I do not want to void the warranty by opening it. I'd rather return. 01:08

minutejosch: not if you don't damage anything08:41
joschthank you for confirming08:42
joschi currently have the problem on my pocket that the battery indicator (both in sway and gnome) shows 100% all the time08:43
joschwas that fixed in more recent firmware versions and should i flash something from git?08:43

termossurprised by the performance diff between the new 8gb quasar and the rk3588! does this mean the quasar 8550 is next in line?09:16
minutetermos: yes10:16
minutetermos: i'm also surprised at the gpu performance diff, because my initial benchmarks were wrong (cpu limited)10:17
minutejosch: what do the "files" created by reform2-lpc in sysfs say, anything interesting?10:18
joschminute: for example in spi1/spi1.0/status I see: 7.750V 0.750A 100% [status=0] [API=2]10:26
joschin BAT0, charge_now is equal to charge_full10:29
joschvoltage_now remains at 775000010:32
joschwait what?10:33
joschi just opened the keyboard system status menu on the oled10:33
joschand suddenly the battery percentage in gnome shows 93% and voltage_now dropped to 7724400010:33
minutejosch: if charge_now equals charge_full, that sounds like 100%10:44
joschyes, but that cannot be real because the system was not plugged into AC for 15 minutes at that point10:46
chsysctl tty should print an overview what the sysctl knows about the values. maybe the i2c died10:52
joschch: do you remember the tty path?10:52
joschnew state: charge_now is now stuck at 372000010:53
chttyACM0 i think?10:53
joschthere we go10:54

joschi don't think i have looked at the sysctl output before so maybe somebody else sees something interesting?10:56

rick_Oh, am i the only one who have the problem that i sometimes can't set the brightness on the pocket? brightnesctl doesnt seem to find the backlights of the display.. instead sth like this: Device 'input9::kana' of class 'leds'19:57
rick_after a reboot it works fine again19:57
rick_and i don't think i see anything unusal in dmesg19:58
rick_oh wait.. i have sth like this: [Tue Jun 16 19:54:15 2026] panel-mnt-pocket-reform fde30000.dsi.0: error -ENOENT: cannot get dcdc-en-gpio 019:59

joschrick_: next time this happens, can you try reloading the reform2_lpc module and see if that fixes it?20:24
rick_josch ohh there is a module? sure!20:26
rick_also updated the kernel now to latest. lets wait and see ^^20:26
UsrBinAnnikaCan I figure out if I have the Pocket Reform Mainboard 2.0 in software or should I crack the case?20:58

joschuff my pocket reform *finally* switched off -- it was now on for over eight hours with display and keyboard backlight on... i keep forgetting how long these cells last...21:12
joschch: solved the problem this way without having to disconnect the batteries ^21:12
joschnoooo it's still 100% :(21:13
rick_josch you have bigger batteries do you?21:13
joschokay, i flipped the standby switch which should also do the battery disconnect but oled still shows 100%21:14
joschrick_: https://community.mnt.re/t/getting-more-than-10-hours-of-battery-runtime-from-the-rk3588-pocket-reform/3506/21:17

Motminute: Hey, I wanted to say thanks for your helpful suggestions yesterday with bridging the resistor (R4) on the trackball PCB to enable the BOOTSEL mode for flashing the firmware! I did another try today and it worked :)21:38
