[Librem-5-dev] queries with dev kit environment set up

[Dan Kortschak]

Thanks. Since the board was fresh out of the box due to a later deliver
as stated above I had assumed that I would be working from a common
starting point and could just follow the provided documentation.

It's unclear to me from the outset exactly what information would be
useful, so this is why I asked for suggestions about how to debug it.

$ uname -a
Linux pureos 4.18.11-g418cc45f #1 SMP PREEMPT Wed May 22 06:24:21 PDT
2019 aarch64 GNU/Linux


* HDMI

$ cat /sys/firmware/devicetree/base/hdmi at 32c00000/status
disabled

but the link from /boot/dtb looks like it is pointing at the right
thing

$ ls -l /boot/dtb
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 40 May 24 21:59 /boot/dtb -> dtbs/4.18.11-
g418cc45f/./librem5-evk.dtb

which exists

$ ls -l dtbs/4.18.11-g418cc45f/./librem5-evk.dtb
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 42276 May 24 21:59 dtbs/4.18.11-
g418cc45f/./librem5-evk.dtb


* WIFI

No, I did not remove the blacklist line as I didn't realise it was
blacklisted. I have now and that resolves that issue. I will send an MR
to add that instruction or at least note that it is blacklisted.



If the documentation that's at the set up guide page is not correct, is
there documentation that I can follow that is?


cheers
Dan
