P64 Protocol Droid 5 | [I] <dsimic> I'm not aware of that option, but I may be wrong there quite easily | 18:03:07 |
P64 Protocol Droid 5 | [D] <Vercas> Okay... Good news regarding the u-boot on SPI from Fedora. | 19:14:01 |
P64 Protocol Droid 5 | [D] <Vercas> Contrary to what that blog post warns about. | 19:14:06 |
P64 Protocol Droid 5 | [D] <Vercas> It boots from USB storage just fine. | 19:14:16 |
P64 Protocol Droid 5 | [D] <Vercas> Even works with USB hubs. | 19:14:28 |
P64 Protocol Droid 5 | [D] <Vercas> Sadly the one important thing that doesn't work is USB-C PD. | 19:14:38 |
P64 Protocol Droid 5 | [D] <Vercas> So it crashes soon after Linux starts running. | 19:14:51 |
P64 Protocol Droid 5 | [D] <Vercas> But progress is progress. Now this old broken mobo should be able to boot on its own. | 19:15:51 |
P64 Protocol Droid 5 | [D] <Vercas> Next step in my master plan: figure out why my PBP smelled like burning plastic after running Fedora for 30 minutes. | 19:16:06 |
P64 Protocol Droid 5 | [I] <dsimic> that's good news, and you can always use the barrel socket | 19:16:25 |
P64 Protocol Droid 5 | [D] <Vercas> Am using the barrel charger to power my Rock64. 😦 | 19:16:45 |
P64 Protocol Droid 5 | [D] <Vercas> I don't have an unused one. | 19:16:49 |
P64 Protocol Droid 5 | [I] <dsimic> have you tried borrowing it from the Rock64, to see would it work as expected? | 19:17:21 |
P64 Protocol Droid 5 | [D] <Vercas> Of course. | 19:17:33 |
P64 Protocol Droid 5 | [I] <dsimic> and it worked? | 19:17:41 |
P64 Protocol Droid 5 | [D] <Vercas> That's in relation to my comment about the burning smell. | 19:17:45 |
P64 Protocol Droid 5 | [D] <Vercas> Yes, it boots and all that and it runs. | 19:17:49 |
P64 Protocol Droid 5 | [I] <dsimic> it would be interesting to measure the current that ends up going into the mainboard through the Type-C port | 19:18:29 |
P64 Protocol Droid 5 | [D] <Vercas> I agree, but I do not have any measurement device. | 19:19:16 |
P64 Protocol Droid 5 | [D] <Vercas> Burning smell doesn't come from my PBP. Uh... this is bad. | 19:19:44 |
P64 Protocol Droid 5 | [I] <dsimic> hmm? | 19:19:55 |
P64 Protocol Droid 5 | [D] <Vercas> Means it was coming from somewhere else. 😐 | 19:20:17 |
P64 Protocol Droid 5 | [I] <dsimic> at least it isn't your PBP burning :/ | 19:21:34 |
| Pɵρїŋѕҡi changed their profile picture. | 19:23:46 |
P64 Protocol Droid 5 | [D] <ayayagames> i really want fedora on my bpb but the only image is F32 and upgrading to 35 dosn't do anything lmao | 19:25:37 |
P64 Protocol Droid 5 | [D] <Vercas> Yup. | 19:54:56 |
P64 Protocol Droid 5 | [D] <Vercas> dsimic, it wasn't a lifted pad at all. | 19:55:05 |
P64 Protocol Droid 5 | [D] <Vercas> I've managed to resolder at least the ground connection. Tried the signal connection too. Putting the board back in to assess the damage. | 19:55:27 |
P64 Protocol Droid 5 | [D] <Vercas> Which way is the eMMC switch on? | 20:06:28 |
P64 Protocol Droid 5 | [D] <Vercas> Towards hinge/screen or towards trackpad? | 20:06:41 |
