[Discord] <microlinux> That's a very good guide.
<DC-IRC>
[Discord] <microlinux> That makes very little sense, both sway and mutter are wayland compositors
<DC-IRC>
[Discord] <microlinux> Well, mutter can do x11 too, but it defaults to wayland
<DC-IRC>
[Discord] <microlinux> In the meantime, just to taste sway, try manjaro sway
<DC-IRC>
[Discord] <microlinux> I would recommend wayfire, since it's not a tiling compositor
<DC-IRC>
[Discord] <microlinux> But if you do need it to be tilling, sure, sway.
<DC-IRC>
[Discord] <microlinux> You can just install sway, a panel, from apt, do some sway config manually, and logout and launch sway
<DC-IRC>
[Discord] <microlinux> But for testing it, just try manjaro since it's already pre-configured

[Discord] <koutsie> Thanks - my kernel still crashes and I still have not recovered but I'm probably gonna burn an sd card tomorrow and see if can recovery boot that.
<DC-IRC>
[Discord] <koutsie> instructions to manually fix for orange pi 3b
<DC-IRC>
[Discord] <koutsie> (or well, any other device if you know / figure out the dtb with ls4ext)
<DC-IRC>
[Discord] <koutsie> Thanks - my kernel still crashes (sometimes - most of the time systemd services fail to start) and I still have not recovered but I'm probably gonna burn an sd card tomorrow and see if can recovery boot that.

[Discord] <ddeath5421> Hi I tried to flash SPI (I guess) and board does not boot now 😄 From UART I am getting:
<DC-IRC>
[Discord] <ddeath5421> ```
<DC-IRC>
[Discord] <ddeath5421> �DDR Version V1.08 20220617
<DC-IRC>
[Discord] <ddeath5421> unknown device
<DC-IRC>
[Discord] <ddeath5421> error
<DC-IRC>
[Discord] <ddeath5421> ERR
<DC-IRC>
[Discord] <ddeath5421> ```
<DC-IRC>
[Discord] <ddeath5421> That looks too generic to me, hard to google. Any ideas what did I do? Is the board brick now 😄 ?
<DC-IRC>
[Discord] <ddeath5421> Hmm I think I could try rkdevtool to flash SPI again via UART 🤔
<DC-IRC>
[Discord] <ddeath5421> Maybe not rkdevelop tool on mac does not detect the board :/
<DC-IRC>
[Discord] <mecoblock> it works for me on max, are you sure the board is in the right mode?
<DC-IRC>
[Discord] <mecoblock> it works for me on mac, are you sure the board is in the right mode?
<DC-IRC>
[Discord] <ddeath5421> Well how can I be sure? I am following official guide of holding maskrom button down while powering it up
<DC-IRC>
[Discord] <menu> rkdevtool doesn't use the UART?
<DC-IRC>
[Discord] <menu> also it's `rkdeveloptool` on mac
<DC-IRC>
[Discord] <menu> does it enumerate the USB in maskROM mode?
<DC-IRC>
[Discord] <ddeath5421> Sorry yeah I am using `rkdeveloptool` on mac. No it does not enumerate anything `rkdeveloptool ld` returns `not found any devices!`
<DC-IRC>
[Discord] <ddeath5421> Maybe I am just using wrong wording. By UART I mean those 3 cables (ground, tx, rx) which you connect to board if you dont have anything on display
<DC-IRC>
[Discord] <ddeath5421> Macbook does not even register that USB was connected when I plug it to the board... `lsusb` doesnt show anything new
<DC-IRC>
[Discord] <ddeath5421> Hmm but if I hold maskrom button during the powerup, there is no output via UART, if I dont hold it, the the ddr unknown device error apear as posted above 🤔
<DC-IRC>
[Discord] <mecoblock> for rkdeveloptool you just need to connect it via USB to the designated port. Not via UART
<DC-IRC>
[Discord] <mecoblock> there’s one port depending on the device maybe you’ll need an usb-a to a or whatever port said port uses
<DC-IRC>
[Discord] <mecoblock> which device do you use?
<DC-IRC>
[Discord] <ddeath5421> Yeah I tried all ports
<DC-IRC>
[Discord] <ddeath5421> OrangePi5Max
<DC-IRC>
[Discord] <ddeath5421> But I used usb-a to usb-c cable but that should be fine I guess
<DC-IRC>
[Discord] <mecoblock> no the maskrom port is the upper usb 3 port so you need an A to A cable to flash it.
<DC-IRC>
[Discord] <mecoblock> try this guide from Radxa for the mac side. That’s how I got it working else you’re gonna need a different cable to then adapt it to either usb c for your macbook or just use something to plug the A to A cable in
<DC-IRC>
[Discord] <ddeath5421> ok I guess not every cable works.... tried 3 cables and last one worked
