Idiot firmware is bored

I actually did not... chatgpt isn't the only ai that exists (⁠◠⁠‿⁠◕⁠)

Tbf, my writing style is already quite AI-like due to constantly reading documentation.
Unironically, that's not even the bit written by AI. The only part that is,

the BC 1.2 result indicating the USB charging mode, and the change in the charge controller status.

As I had no clue what the hell "BC 1.2" was indicating and didn't want to go digging around in the docs for something that obscure. Other things, like "HARD_RST" being a hard reset signal is kinda obvious, imho. I will admit, some is pulled straight from the docs though.

The PinePhone uses a power management processor called "CRUST" to achieve great standby numbers.

Verbatim ripped from the PinePhone docs, that's why it reads more like an advertisement trying to hype up the power management, lol.

P.S. I use uncensored Llama.
P.P.S. I have reading OCD when it comes to my own messages, that's why 99% of them are edited.
P.P.P.S. I put my comment through Llama just now asking it to "AI-ify" it and it's less AI-like then my actual writing :
Or maybe it's more, because honestly who the hell says "tongue-in-cheek"?

Remember the whole "it is impossible to distinguish between AI written text and human" that OpenAI said?

So maybe, something that looks like AI is because that is the exact point of AI?

I feel like these days any detailed reaponse is associated with AI, as if detailed people that like to explain don't exist.

I see, with that in mind the other lines in the output make more sense.

[26380.765876] anx7688 0-0028: enabling vbus_in power path
[26381.373155] anx7688 0-0028: BC 1.2 result: SDP

They show the modem's power path being enabled, the BC 1.2 result indicating the USB charging mode, and the change in the charge controller status. These lines are related to the modem's power management and charging behavior.

Finally, the output :

[26398.882595] anx7688 0-0028: cc_status changed to CC1 = SRC. Open CC2 = SRC.Open

Is related to the anx76880 USB Type-C controller on the PinePhone, indicating a change in the CC (Communication Channel) status, specifically stating that CC1 is now in the SRC (Source) state and CC2 is in the SRC.Open state.

My speculation then, doesn't seem quite right.
It seems that the modem is behaving improperly when the USB power management state is changed. When plugging in the keyboard along with the other USB devices, it triggers a USB power state change, which makes sense as it needs power from the USB port to work, but the modem firmware seems to improperly handle that change and probably hard crashes and turns off the hardware, then requires a hard reset to power back on which is detected by the "idiot firmware is bored" mechanism that sends the hard reset signal.

As for :

For some reason USB devices only work without the keyboard

That seems unrelated to this specific output. This maybe tangentially related however, pointing to a possible underlying root cause. I recommend looking into the journald logs and see if you can find other related messages. For this, Kjournald is a really good GUI that can help sort the messages.

Digging tunnels.
