<rjeffries> reading backlog. someone asked if I pimp qi-hardware in Raspberry Pi channel. A: NO. I was not promoting Raspberry Pi here, merely mentioning the release of board schematics (a Good Thing, IMO).
<rjeffries> Not sure I understand the latent hostimity to a $35 computer that will run Linux. While not perfectly open, they have released datasheet on the SoC and now we see schematics. As best I can tell, they are not forcing people to purchase the board.
<rjeffries> Why not let 1,000 flowers bloom? Raspberry Pi may well fail, if so, then it failed. It is not a threat to Ben Nanonote, rather it has very different target market.
<rjeffries> Ben NN has been an interesting (ongoing experiment). I am not sure Raspberry Pi can not achive a similar level of open-ness as Ben NN. Both have published SoC datasheets.
<rjeffries> The life forces of qi hardware have already shifted to Milkymist, which has promise, although it will never be a $35 system. Will Milkylist someday be converted to an ASIC? It could happen.
<rjeffries> s/hostimity/hostility/
<DocScrutinizer> what damn latent hostility?
<DocScrutinizer> wpwrak: (precharge) hah, well you want some proper current limiters in a number of places
<DocScrutinizer> wpwrak: and I don't think you could place "the capacitor to the right side of switch" here
<DocScrutinizer> anyway we had sth similar with Vsys on GTA02, no? ;-D
<DocScrutinizer> (current limiter) a LDO with /ENA input is probably the better alternative to a switch with current limiter
<DocScrutinizer> this way you got a decent decoupling from system VDD by design
<DocScrutinizer> and a LDO probably is even cheaper than a switch with current limiter
<DocScrutinizer> of course this requires some power rail providing Uout + Udrop_LDO
<DocScrutinizer> running a commerical device without any on-board power stabilization is ... a bit unusual. As are good stabilized 5V wallwart PSU

<wpwrak> DocScrutinizer: in GTA02, we solved the Vsys problem just by placing a cap on the other side of the switch :)
<wpwrak> an LDO may be a bit inefficient. but yes, it's a possiblity, too.
<wpwrak> just the absence of inrush current limiting is generally a bad idea, as we keep seeing :)

<DocScrutinizer> yup
<DocScrutinizer> unless you have no separate power domains and a proper power-up sequence
<DocScrutinizer> one of the main reasons for power-up sequences is to avoid such effects
<DocScrutinizer> basically you can take a boader approach than "limiting inrush": always consider both ends of the rope
<wpwrak> DocScrutinizer: power-up sequences don't help in this case - it's all hot-plugged
<wpwrak> or at least can be hot-plugged. same worst case :)
<DocScrutinizer> sure
