@coresec i didn't exclude it, i even use it but i forgot how to make additional devices join the setup etc

@coresec any recommendations for sth as easy as sshfs but less heavy?

@lexi neat, i wonder if this can work on sway though (or wlroots in general)

@lexi oh yeah! i also like to use ssh -X on wayland actually :D

for example, i have a movie file on my pocket reform that i want to play but right now my reform is connected to my "tv" monitor. i have many choices of how i could stream that but i think i'll try sshfs first (i could also try minidlna)

some puzzle pieces:
—netevent
—sshfs
—wayvnc
—webdav
—9p2000 (haven't really tested that for file sharing yet)
—syncthing (a bit too complicated setup for my taste)

i've started thinking in the back of my head of what would be the smoothest way of networking multiple (pocket) reforms in such a way that they can access their respective file systems and/or remote control their respective screens. i've tried several neat things in the past but because my systems are often in flux (testing new hw and sw releases) i don't have a easily reproducible setup for this yet.

MNT RCORE RK3588 manual first draft (MNT Reform version) https://mntre.com/documentation/reform-rcore-rk3588-manual.pdf

we might be able to get rid of the HDMI adapter later and use the motherboard's DSI->eDP adapter alternatively, but not right now :3 (then we could probably have triple display?)

i just shot some pictures for the RCORE RK3588 module installation manual for the MNT Reform laptop

@momo these posts are great, thanks a lot!

@momo oh do you have a link to that story?

these pictures are by @holo_memory who had to test all of them

@morl0ck i'd say so yeah. we also have a lot of orders in our own shop

even @timonsku was involved at some point to help figure out how to drive those new displays because we were just scratching our heads about the sketchy and pasted together "documentation"

@gabrielberlin 110% albtraum

this process started in october 2023. it took forever for them to get the samples ready and to give us some of the info we needed to make them work and we had to figure out the rest ourselves. also, when finally everything was ready they suddenly raised the price so we're getting 350 instead of 500. every second day i'm pestering about the status of this shipment and i'm assured it's moving and will be trackable any day now... meanwhile they kept our $15000 for a year in the bank.

@bamboombibbitybop we'll see. we don't really have legal leverage overseas

our main display supplier decided at some point in the process that they won't ship us JDI displays, because they're EOL and they can't guarantee the quality. so they came up with some way to adapt another display with the same resolution and exact same dimensions, but it needed a flex cable adapter, different mipi dsi init code and a PWM backlight control that we were able to offload to the RP2040 system controller (this will require different firmware for those models).
