03:21 <Armbian-Discord> <a​mazingfate> After days of daily use my rock5b failed to negotiate PD with system on a 32G emmc. When I use a non-PD power to boot up and see the output of dmesg|head, I find that the kernel start time is 8.x second. It seems that u-boot spend too much time to load the kernel image. Ater flashing a new armbian image to the emmc, PD negotiation start to work fine. Maybe it's better to have a single boot partition instead

03:21 <Armbian-Discord> of a whole root partition.

05:11 <Armbian-Discord> <T​onymac32> The kernel doesn't start counting until U-boot hands over control though, right?

06:17 <Armbian-Discord> <a​mazingfate> yeah, the kernel starts too late

07:19 <Armbian-Discord> <r​icoazzurro> I got a 20W battery unit. when I plugged it to Rock 5b, it started to negotiate. first, short green light was on , then long blue light(about 3 seconds). after that, it reboot and negotiate again. the 2nd time boot was successful and sensors shows power stayed at 9v2.2a. and boot partition is from official debian.

07:34 <Armbian-Discord> <a​mazingfate> Official debian has a single fat32 boot partition. But armbian uses a whole ext4 root partition when we find u-boot supports ext4.

07:35 <Armbian-Discord> <I​gorPec> should we move to fatboot ?

07:36 <Armbian-Discord> <a​mazingfate> I guess a single ext4 boot partition should work, but need testing.

07:37 <Armbian-Discord> <I​gorPec> yeah. i didn't have any issues ... have been running few units as a Github runner / build runner under Docker with nvme root

07:38 <Armbian-Discord> <I​gorPec> but PD seems to be broken for some people

07:38 <Armbian-Discord> <I​gorPec> my cheap PSU is handling 3 devices at once

07:43 <Armbian-Discord> <a​mazingfate> My emmc works fine with pd, but it suddenly failed to boot yesterday, I guess there's something to do with the disk usage.

07:43 <Armbian-Discord> <r​icoazzurro> looks nice.

13:33 <Armbian-Discord> <b​albes150> real 4k 60 needs >100 (this is without taking into account overhead losses for network maintenance) . Although there are naive people who believe that they are watching 4k (they are given shit without HDR squeezed with gigantic losses) and they slavishly inflate their cheeks and believe that they are watching full-screen 4k. The lower the bitrate, the worse the quality, but for fools who do not understand,

13:33 <Armbian-Discord> you can hang noodles on their ears and take money from them. It's interesting to see idiots who will upload 30-40 GB movies to USB 2.0 to proudly watch them on this shit in 4k.

13:44 <Armbian-Discord> <T​enkawa> @balbes150 and us in ignorant bliss who are almost completely colorblind and partially blind so "HD" means absolutely nothing to them

13:50 <Armbian-Discord> <T​heBug> I think you think too much, all they care about is will it stream Amazon Prime video at 4k, and what you want to bet they are either using av1 or h.265 at lower bitrate 4k... Which probably works fine over both Wi-Fi and 100mbit....

13:51 <Armbian-Discord> <M​anoftheSea> official debian on what? x86-64? With UEFI boot? That would be the ESP, right? When booting with BIOS, whole ext4 is still common enough

13:51 <Armbian-Discord> <s​repac> Forget 4k. 8k is the next big thing to sell to customers. /s

13:51 <Armbian-Discord> <M​anoftheSea> Though, my preference is to always include an ESP

13:51 <Armbian-Discord> <T​enkawa> @srepac yeah that has been a media "hot term" lately

13:52 <Armbian-Discord> <I​gorPec> new buzzword 🙂

13:52 <Armbian-Discord> <T​enkawa> even though who realisticly can see 8k??

13:52 <Armbian-Discord> <T​heBug> K k k k k k k k

13:52 <Armbian-Discord> <T​enkawa> I mean like I said.. "I" am on the way wrong end of the scale but still

13:53 <Armbian-Discord> <T​heBug> See, you can see 8 ks :)

13:53 <Armbian-Discord> <T​enkawa> LOL

13:56 <Armbian-Discord> <N​icoD> Depends on the size of the display and how close you look at it. My 13" 1080p is as good quality as my 28" 4k display. Just pixels per inch is more important than 4k or 8k.

13:56 <Armbian-Discord> <T​heBug> If you were drunk one could argue you may have even be able to make out 16 ks there.....

16:28 <Armbian-Discord> <f​urrysalamander> Yeah, for me I have one PD charger that works, and one that doesn't. My lenovo laptop charger gets stuck, but my 65w ravpower boots just fine.

17:18 <Armbian-Discord> <a​mazingfate> my bad, I mean radxa official debian😂

17:42 <Armbian-Discord> <M​anoftheSea> ah

20:16 <Armbian-Discord> <T​onymac32> Lol @ the video conversation. Some people are foolish enough to think mp3 sounds good, too. Let's not get lost in the forest here, your eyes are not good enough to see most artifacts caused by decent modern compression.

20:18 <Armbian-Discord> <T​onymac32> I don't disagree being limited to 100Mbit or USB2 is disappointing on a modern device, but we have to remember "consumer level hardware"

20:18 <Armbian-Discord> <T​onymac32> Consumers are not known for their sophistication

20:20 <Armbian-Discord> <z​aurux> I was a bit disillusioned... and then today I decided to look around a bit. Under :/boot, I found 4 dtb files. One of them is the Zen one and also the original rk3328-firefly-aiojd4. I decompiled in dts but then, I don't have the skills... and especially, I don't know how to boot on this card which has a usb-c but which manages OTA updates. So then compiling a more modern kernel to hope listen PCM768... or

20:20 <Armbian-Discord> DSD512 support, I'm stuck.

20:21 <Armbian-Discord> <T​enkawa> @Tonymac32 yeah remember when entry level recording musical equip was several thousand?

20:22 <Armbian-Discord> <T​enkawa> (of decent quality)
