i now have a vufine HMD _but_ Reform seems to have some kind of HPD issue on HDMI, i hope it’s just a wrong pullup or something

So i applied this series https://lore.kernel.org/patchwork/cover/1022980/ to the current linux-next, and even managed to boot it on my i.MX8M system, but it freezes after 1.8-1.9 seconds.

did you know: there is no support (yet) in Linux for i.MX8

Reform was compiling FreeCAD for the first half of the day and... it works fine!

i was going crazy here because a printout on my LaserJet is 2mm off in horizontal direction (on landscape). now i read "This is a known issue with laser printers which have an accuracy of ~2% in the paper flow direction"... can it be true?

failure

this is why i know

martini is initram backwards

is there an affordable monocular HMD?

would totally work today

my company (MNT) is looking for office/production space in berlin, around 50sqm. preferably kreuzberg or mitte. we’ll be working on open (libre) hardware and software with a team of three. if you hear sth, please write to lukas@mntmn.com. 🙏

i.MX8MQ incl. bodge wires

this work-in-progress picture from today features i.MX6QP@1.0GHz (unlidded) and i.MX6QP@1.2GHz (lidded)

finished assembling Reform number 5 today, almost finished 6 and 7 but was thrown off the rail by soldering issues (notoriously hard to solder sgtl5000 had problems on one board, and a short on the other that i’ll have to track down).

Reform made it safely to Portland! Crowd Supply made a nice unboxing vid https://www.crowdsupply.com/mnt/reform/updates/prototype-unboxing-videos
