<Armbian-Discord> <j​oekhoobyar> So I have a pile of Rock 5b sbcs, I’m home sick for the next 24 hours, and figure it’s time to play.
<Armbian-Discord> <j​oekhoobyar> Is the work @Tenkawa has been doing ready for tinkering yet? Or should I stick with that legacy WIP build that Igor had up?
<Armbian-Discord> <j​oekhoobyar> I’m actually sick, though, so I’m not giving myself any personal milestones here. I could also play with that R6S, @IgorPec 🙂
<Armbian-Discord> <M​anoftheSea> I suggest nixos
<Armbian-Discord> <j​oekhoobyar> Clearly I have one of the rock 5 revs with the PD problems. 1.42 2022.08.29
<Armbian-Discord> <j​oekhoobyar> Three diff known good PD bricks yielded the boot loop. My least powerful PD brick worked though.
<Armbian-Discord> <T​onymac32> well it's universal
<Armbian-Discord> <T​onymac32> the only ones that work are by accident
<Armbian-Discord> <T​onymac32> too good of a supply will not refuse to do the hacky crap needed to make it work, and too crappy of one will be unable
<Armbian-Discord> <T​onymac32> you need to hit a nice middle ground of a "kind of shit but not completely shit" PD supply
<Armbian-Discord> <T​onymac32> My advice to just get a barrel jack to type C adapter stands
<Armbian-Discord> <M​anoftheSea> too good will refuse, not will not
<Armbian-Discord> <T​onymac32> good catch
<Armbian-Discord> <T​onymac32> talking in a voice channel, doing CAD, and typing is bad
<Armbian-Discord> <M​anoftheSea> PD input seems fine if you have even a very small battery. It seems terrible if you don't.
<Armbian-Discord> <T​onymac32> yes, there is a requirement for the system to be able to coast for a period of time during power transitions
<Armbian-Discord> <j​oekhoobyar> Yeah, I bought some AliExpress parts for this. Will it have to be 5V, or can it be 12V?
<Armbian-Discord> <M​anoftheSea> If only there were some form of negotiation that could allow the board to request 5, 9, 15, or even 20 volts...
<Armbian-Discord> <T​onymac32> The board's (Rock5B) power input can handle up to 20V, I would recommend 12
