10:23 jnettlet[m]> Ke: i.MX8m will be in our lineup
10:24 jnettlet[m]> wbx: yes the mainline kernel has drm kms support in the mainline kernel
10:33 Ke> jnettlet[m]: ie. no cortex-a72, only 4xcortex-a53?
11:00 jnettlet[m]> Ke: not initially. We have other a72s we are looking at
11:14 Ke> jnettlet[m]: I guess the high performance and libre friendly are key items
11:14 Ke> soon everyone will want a75 ^^
11:15 Ke> I guess main customers are still companies and not hobbyists
11:16 jnettlet[m]> Ke: well industrial lifespan is also very important.
11:16 Ke> yup
11:17 jnettlet[m]> we want long term stable chips, not necessarily the new fastest thing that is just aimed at creating consumer e-waste
18:15 wbx> jnettlet[m]: do you have an example kernel config for me?
18:16 jnettlet[m]> wbx: for what?
18:17 jnettlet[m]> Oh to enable drm? The default mx6_mx7 config should do that now
18:17 wbx> mainline kernel, drm kms enabled so i get graphical output on my hb1 :)
22:05 Ke> jnettlet[m]: I actually just hate it, when chromebooks go EOL before you know whether they will get good support or not
22:07 Ke> paulk-gagarine: btw. is Samsung chromebook plus with rk3399 worth getting or not, supply is getting thinner all the time
