i can't stress how cool it is by @olimex to put out this SOM as real open hardware with KiCAD design files: https://github.com/OLIMEX/iMX8MP-SOM

if anyone needs a more advanced KiCAD training project, adapting this for the MNT Reform module format would be a nice challenge ^^

So far the most absurd issue I've encountered on Linux / LS1028A/ DesignWare USB3 controller: the value of the kernel loglevel influences if USB works or not https://community.mnt.re/t/no-keyboard-input-with-ls1028-board-and-latest-image/1994/13

i would like to make a graphical tool (gtk4) for configuring Pocket Reform's mouse button assignment, keyboard backlight colors (with gradients etc), and probably keyboard scancode assignment. when i get the time. or maybe someone can contribute.

this poster was much more work than it should have been, swollen to a 69MB SVG file, inkscape slowing to a crawl on an i9 and crashing almost each time after saving (luckily after, so i could resume after each crash)

some pix from MNT Research crew visiting @republica's closing party yesterday, where we had a little gathering to celebrate our shipping of Pocket Reform and also the opportunity to show 'em to interested members of a different audience. it was very nice!

interesting: converting KiCAD PDF to SVG with cloudconvert results in a SVG that Inkscape can actually handle, vs KiCAD's direct PDF output (in my case never finishes loading) or direct SVG output (makes kicad hang/crash when doing certain edits)

confession: i don't understand the git stash docs so i just copy the files out, do checkout, and copy them back in

did this Y2K-era (ok 1998) graphic design have a name? it reminds me a bit of david carson of course, but...

i'm always baffled when new things launch and they don't have a fediverse link but instead still on birdsite and maybe instagram, it feels somehow antiquated
