@CounterPillow@mastodon.social Wait you work on stuff?

[josch@floss.social]

@CounterPillow I'm very excited about Sebastian Reichel's work on suspend/resume support on RK3588. Also excited about open-source BL31 and synopsis memory training blob being the only proprietary bit remaining. If only its license would allow redistribution by parties who are not selling the hardware... :(

@lynne yeah, and I actually am somewhat competent so I don't make deeply embarrassing Karen posts like this https://mk.pars.ee/notes/ai6wdsukb2fh00qf

You're jealous because you can't kill chips without a hammer :)

@lynne yours aren't actually dead though, you could've read the TRM or asked the linux-rockchip IRC on Libera at any time and we'd have explained to you how it works. So that you're not just feeding shelter cats to coyotes. :^)

That "firmware" is just u-boot+tf-a, all open, can reside on either byte 0 of spi flash, sector 64 of eMMC or sector 64 of SD in that order, and if no magic num is found there it enters maskrom mode and you can give it a loader over usb and flash with it.
