@mntmn@mastodon.social which connection? directly to a pcie slot, using an m.2/wireless cart slot, or with a thunderbolt/oculink port?

eGPU is additionally nice because the fans are big enough to be quiet, and the laptop itself doesn't get hot

@mntmn I've always been sad that the concept never really took off. It's such an obviously-good idea!

@mntmn oh so MNT Reform would also be capable of #10GbE and more :)

@mntmn small implementation questions:- you're using the built-in FEX translation layer that Steam is also using for the Frames? Or something else?- Picture is fed back over PCIe and composited on screen by the RK3588? Or is there a way to feed back displayport video signals into the screen? (sorry screen small, can't see if there's a video connector)- e GPU plugged into the NVMe slot?

@dryak 1. still box64, so steam itself is also emulated. but it's quite similar to FEX 2. yeah, i think amdgpu renders into a texture (surface/window) over PCIe that is composited by the rk3588's mali gpu 3. yeah via oculink

@mntmn what connection do you have between the Reform and eGPU?

@overunderlay coincidence, but i'm happy that valve are putting so much work into the arm64 ecosystem now as well

@mntmn wait how the fuck did you plug an external dGPU into an MNT productalso is that the fancy model of the MNT laptop that supports sleep mode

@mntmn @aeva at first I thought the left side of the picture is on the floor and you have the largest AMD gpu in the world

@mntmn@mastodon.social if only it had USB4 w PCIe support/Thunderbolt (I know it's probably near to impossible to get ARM chips that support it but one can dream)

@ignaloidas why would that be better than oculink?

@mntmn this sent me down a path of thinking about similar of eGPU with the Pocket. I suspect not possible, although I wondered about using the M.2 slot on the new headset/M2 board, but that's not long enough for the Oculink/M.2 adapters I've seen... oh well 🙂 very cool to see what you've had working!

@andypiper i totally want this on pocket. i think i'll do a pocket mb v2 next year with the gen3 x4 controller exposed (currently not used in pocket for imx8mp historical reasons). big questions about mb spatial architecture. perhaps 2x smaller m.2 slots instead of 2280...

@mntmn @josch What is needed software-wise to get this up and running?

@darzee_dk @josch kernel from here https://source.mnt.re/reform/reform-debian-packages/-/merge_requests/145then, apt install box64 and then run the included steam install script
