The Acer Chromebook 13, codenamed "Big", contains an NVIDIA tegra124
processor and is similar to the Venice2 reference platform.

The keyboard, USB 2, audio, HDMI, sdcard and emmc have been tested
and work on the 1366x768 models.  I haven't tried on the HD systems
yet.

WiFi does not yet work, it needs at least some PMIC changes to enable
the 32k clock.

The elan trackpad is not yet functional but hopefully will be soon as
there are patches under review.

There is also an issue on reboot because the TPM isn't reset.  It will
cause the stock firmware to enter recovery mode.  This can be worked
around by an EC-reset, press refresh and power at the same time.



diff --git a/arch/arm/boot/dts/tegra124-big.dts
b/arch/arm/boot/dts/tegra124-big.dts



I think we need to include the SKU name in the filename and compatible
value
below, or at least plan out that for other SKUs, we'll add the SKU name
on.


+/ {
+       model = "Google Big";
+       compatible = "google,nyan-big", "nvidia,tegra124";



I think it'd be more user-friendly if the filename and compatible value
more
obviously tied to the end-user-visible product name.


We didn't prefix the reference platform on the very first one we
shipped (snow), but for the peach platforms we used peach-pit and
peach-pi. Those had different SoCs inside (albeit very similar ones),
so there was a reason for separate DTS files.

Here, we should probably prefix with nyan (so tegra124-nyan-big.dts).
Users have shown themselves to be quite happy to use the internal
names, they also tend to be less confusing (since we can't rely on the
vendor to rename the product when the internals change, so we would
need a separate namespace anyway).


I can see that the vendor might change the internals without changing the
product name. That kind of thing happens too frequently across all kinds of
products. So, there are certainly disadvantages using consumer marketing
names here.

Presumably though the name "big" would no longer apply to any modified HW?
Hence, I can't understand the need to say "nyan-big" rather than just "big".
Is "nyan-" really needed to fully qualify the name? Also, the board isn't a
Nyan, albeit the design may have been strongly derived from the reference
board named Nyan.

it's more about partitioning the namespace and showing similarities
(nyan-big and nyan-foo might be able to share a common dtsi for most
of the platform, for example).

I don't think the files need to have a common prefix to include common content.

In other words, assuming the naming made sense, the following would be fine if it represented reality:

tegra124-nyan.dtsi  represents common parts of a reference design
tegra124-foo.dts    includes tegra124-foo.dts
tegra124-bar.dts    includes tegra124-foo.dts

See https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromiumos/third_party/kernel-next/+/chromeos-3.10/arch/arm/boot/dts/
for how it's done in the product tree (some of those bindings are of
course divergent from upstream, so it's more about the file structure
in this case).

I've actually disliked the fact that the Venice2 board was represented as tegra124-nyan-rev0.dts rather than tegra124-venice2.dts there...
