i'm always baffled when new things launch and they don't have a fediverse link but instead still on birdsite and maybe instagram, it feels somehow antiquated

most of the MNT Research crew will hang out at the @republica yard tomorrow (wednesday) evening from 19h for some socializing and celebrating the shipping of Pocket Reform. happy to meet (un)familiar faces there!

MNT Pocket Reform PSA: Some package installs appear to pull in a kernel upgrade. Unfortunately, this doesn’t automatically upgrade the matching WiFi driver package reform-qcacld2.

After installing software with apt, make sure to run apt install reform-qcacld2 or apt upgrade so that you have the latest WiFi driver.

Otherwise, you can't connect to WiFi after reboot and will need USB/Bluetooth/Ethernet (or a MicroSD bootdisk) to get it back. We’re working on an automatic hook to fix this.

i have word that the first 18 MNT Pocket Reforms have started shipping to backers (non-hyper, black case, white kailh choc switches). anyone got a notification?

also, we have packed another shipment of 30 Pocket Reforms that's going out on tuesday (after customs clearance). that one also contains devices with Red Pro switches.

so what exactly is the display tech in the daylight dc-1? high res monochrome lcd with the backlight removed/replaced with something transflective?

after a lot of trial and error and reverse engineering of a hdmi adapter from the seller i got the alternative display panel for pocket reform up and running today, finally. this was hard because docs were severely limited and @timonsku and me were extremely puzzled why nothing was working. in the end the escape clock frequency was too high, setting it to 24MHz worked.

Microsoft suddenly going to town again with ARM/qualcomm surely will be good for us in terms of more arm64 software compat and Linux mainlining efforts for Qualcomm hw.

also, people who are tired of all these AI anti-features can be sure that the MNT Reform family will be free of that stuff.

what's the easiest way to forward input events (mouse, keyboard) from a wayland (wlroots) session on one computer to the other (also wayland/wlroots)?

done with the second revision of the RK3588 module for MNT Reform (and Pocket Reform as soon as there are DSI display drivers mainlined). i've been running the first rev in my laptop for weeks (months? lost track of time on this one). this rev has a bunch of fixes and new stuff:
—"wifi/bt" connector to support any kind of off-board sdio/uart/usb module for wifi/bt or other things
—lpc spi connection for system controller
—hdmi fixes (4k@60 works now!)
—extra sai audio lines for phone/modem

the same MNT RCORE module in the pcb editor of kicad, 6 layers, it's a maze of crisscrossing signals
