earlier i hack-ported rockchip's dsi2 driver from the vendor kernel because noone has WIP code to share (sniff), but only got a cpu stall somewhere after finally probing. then i went home. beastie boys were on the radio (fight for your right to party etc). made me think!

usb-c is the future they said

ceci n'est pas une pipe

ah. can't really test this because there's still no DSI driver published for RK3588, only for the PHY. @collabora is there any WIP patch i could test?

(disclaimer, there's no guarantee yet that this is gonna work)

on the Pocket Reform motherboard, it's correct.

on the Pocket Reform keyboard, it's R5 (pictured here). you can change this to a 0402 1k ohms if the feature is needed and you're confident with soldering

TIL there's a little design error on our rp2040 based devices which renders the PROG switch nonfunctional. the PROG switch has a 4.7k resistor to the CS line of the flash. but it has to be a 1k resistor. this is annoying but most of the time you can either enter BOOTSEL mode by forcing it with picotool or double-tapping the reset button.

just installed DOOM3 again (via dhewm3) and discovered my savegames are from 2020, so i tried this already almost 4 years ago on this MNT Reform laptop. but back then it was quite slow on our first i.MX8MQ processor (4x A53, Vivante GC7000L, 4GB RAM, 512GB SSD). now it's super fast on the RK3588 (4x A76 + 4x A55, Mali G610, 32GB RAM, 2TB SSD). this laptop has gone through many part changes, i think only the aluminum chassis parts are still the same. is it still the same machine?

@killed2 it's a tiny stove

@istar yes, as it's a prototype the bottom half is 3d printed. the top half is from the classic mnt reform (aluminum), because the hinges fit in the same way. but it's not the correct design for the next.

the motherboard is flipped around here btw. normally it would be upside down to conduct heat into the future aluminum case. but this orientation is better for development

@caffeine sorry, it's a bit cluttered. here's a direct link https://www.crowdsupply.com/mnt/reform#product-3749

@caffeine yes, but there isn't a good mechanical adapter/holder for it yet that fits the pocket. gonna make one for 3d printing soon

@jana awesome to hear! we will release the cx3 firmware patches soon, i'll ping you

(f. schneider got the os05a20 sensor to work) (at the moment it needs a gst pipeline for debayering but the images from that sensor are really something)
