@mntmn "trust me buddy" as a service 🙃

@mntmn Moment, meldet sich @kkarhan als Volunteer? ^^

@mntmn Phew, I thought we were living behind the moon.

@mntmn have a look at
https://github.com/u-root/cpu

needs no giant rootfs on the target, just a single daemon
the model is importing resources to your terminal (think dev machine)

e.g. write a kernel driver and insmod it via cpu:
cpu pocket-reform-1 insmod ./drivers/.../foo.ko

run an app with framebuffer output:
cpu pocket-reform-2 ./fbsplash -file bg.png

etc. etc... I've done and showcased a lot of that, including mpv to another laptop:

@mntmn The MangoPi stuff is cool, e.g.
https://mangopi.org/mqpro

no KiCAD project files though, just schematics + BOMs

@mntmn Hope to meet you this time at C3! =)

@mntmn regarding A311D: @librecomputer are working on their own CM4 form factor one.

@mntmn Oh yes, someone showed it at https://barcamp.ruhr/ 10 years ago or so.

@mntmn everyone partying tonight, nice!

@mntmn I just use USB mics anyway.
Most laptop integrated mics are... not that great. 😬

@mntmn big big 🧡✨👩💻

@mntmn oh noes :/

@mntmn https://blog.dowhile0.org/2022/06/21/how-to-troubleshoot-deferred-probe-issues-in-linux/

sysfs should reveal it

@mntmn Reformception!

@mntmn With LinuxBoot?
If only it were that trivial... that is the missing piece to the puzzle, unfortunately. x)

The general flow would be
init firmware -> LinuxBoot -> final OS

and then, "it depends"

on Aarch64, it's usually SPL -> TF-A -> LinuxBoot -> OS

I have no idea how that would be integrated, tbh, but it's definitely possible. Part of that would be defining the flash layout.

The BPi CM4 with its eMMC flash is writable via fastboot, I would think? That should make it approachable.

@mntmn U-Boot? Yea, it's usually adjusted and modified copies to fit the driver model. That is one reason why we created LinuxBoot, essentially dropping the main U-Boot and replacing it with Linux, so you get the well-maintained drivers.

@mntmn I personally like 4k on 28", because that is exactly 4times 1080p on 14". I.e., pixel density remains consistent for my laptop + extra screen. :-)

@mntmn Do you possibly mean 5822, digit swap?
