| 12:30 | topi` | jnettlet: the problem was that there is no Wilink for the ARMADA soms |
| 12:32 | jnettlet | topi`, not interested in using iMX6? |
| 12:32 | jnettlet | or you need faster throughput? |
| 12:34 | topi` | jnettlet: the customer needs 2 SIMs where the other SIM acts as a backup |
| 12:34 | topi` | in a kind of high-availability scenario |
| 12:55 | topi` | it seems the customer also wants IP65 protected enclosure, I wonder if the metal enclosures provided by Solidrun can be "modded" into IP65 |
| 17:52 | topi` | jnettlet: how would you interpret a phrase like this: "M.2 includes USB 3.0 support (in carrier Base only)" ... to me it seems like the CF Base M.2 connector would also carry USB signals, which means that it could be used for a cellmodem |
| 17:52 | topi` | as far as I understood, the M.2 connector is only for mSATA, but this seems to indicate otherwise? |
| 18:06 | jnettlet | topi`, it can be assembled that way, but the default board doesn't support it. |
| 18:07 | jnettlet | although I will check the pins I wonder if we can get serdes to do PCIe on it. |
| 18:09 | topi` | jnettlet: we would probably place orders on batches of 100pcs |
| 18:09 | topi` | so if it can be assembled that way, that's ok. Although for testing/development we'd naturally start with only a few boards... |
| 18:10 | jnettlet | topi`, but aren't you still missing the backup LTE modem? |
| 18:10 | topi` | for this case, we'd only use 1 LTE modem |
| 18:10 | topi` | 1 LTE, and 1 Wifi |
| 18:10 | jnettlet | okay |
| 18:10 | topi` | but 2 SIM holders :) |
| 18:13 | jnettlet | okay. I will take a look. |
| 18:14 | cpuid | hey guys |
| 18:15 | cpuid | anyone knows if SolidRun Intel Braswell board, allows performing secure boot of a linux kernel |
| 18:15 | cpuid | I guess using UEFI? |
| 18:16 | jnettlet | cpuid, yeah via UEFI. |
| 18:16 | jnettlet | hopefully we will have coreboot support soon, and then you could do coreboot -> u-boot like Chromebooks do |
| 18:18 | cpuid | thx jnettlet: basically every Intel based sbc supports UEFI, so that should be always possible? |
| 18:19 | jnettlet | cpuid, well we are shipping an AMI bios. |
| 18:19 | jnettlet | not bios. AMI firmware now :) |
| 18:19 | jnettlet | old habits die hard |
| 18:19 | cpuid | you mean it's thanks to it, that secure boot is possible? |
| 18:20 | jnettlet | yes, all of Intel's SOCs support secure mode, but it is up to the firmware to implement it. |
| 18:21 | jnettlet | UEFI is one method, but you can also use coreboot and a payload that supports it, u-boot, or tdk-core (oss uefi) |
| 18:22 | cpuid | ok, so skipping UEFI would mean avoiding the signing from a CA, right? |
| 18:26 | cpuid | is it like on i.MX6 / Marvel A38x where you can just write your public key in a fusebox? |
| 18:27 | jnettlet | cpuid, no you can load your own certs there is an interface in the bios |
| 18:27 | jnettlet | I have not done it yet myself though sorry. |
| 18:28 | jnettlet | will gladly test it for you if you need it. |
| 18:28 | cpuid | honestly a confirmation of the workflow would be just great |
| 19:58 | Exaga | jnettlet: do you have any grasp of delivery times from the solid run shop by any chance? |
| 20:01 | jnettlet | Exaga, some yes. Although [email protected] will have a lot more accurate ship dates. |
| 20:02 | Exaga | ok. i'll email them :> |
