samsung-serranovelte runs Linux mainline (linux-postmarketos-qcom-msm8916)
with support for:
- Display
- Touchscreen
- Sound
- GPIO keys
- NFC
- Vibrator
- IMU (Accelerometer + Gyroscope)
- Battery
The primary limitation of samsung-serranovelte is that it can only run
ARMv7 (32-bit) binaries, even though its hardware (MSM8916) is 64-bit
capable. This is because it was never updated with 64-bit compatible
firmware (usually introduced together with the Android 5.0 update).
[ci:skip-vercheck]: only added new architectures
The post-install depends on the -openrc files being present, and if the
dependency isn't explicitly specified then the device-* package may be
installed before the -openrc package, causing the post-install to fail.
Both sway and phosh require hardware acceleration (DRM) to work. Let's
activate that when we request one of them. Also don't let them fail
during startup on inputless setups (which is common on a raspberry pi).
Phosh is too slow to be unsable, but now, it'll at least be unusable out
of the box ;-)
Without this MR, elogind, and therefore weston will not start as it will
complain about cgroup mess:
[ 21.387150] elogind-daemon[1538]: Failed to determine whether /sys/fs/cgroup is a mount point: Symbolic link loop
[ 21.388341] elogind-daemon[1538]: Failed to mount cgroup at /sys/fs/cgroup/elogind: No such file or directory
Fix by applying this patch, thanks minlexx for pointing me to it! This
might possibly also be applicable to other kernel 3.4-based ports.

This provides alsa usecase profiles for the audio routing in the
pinephone, pulseaudio also picks up this config.

Remove all firmware-support dependencies from the firmware package and
add them to -downstream-firmware and -mainline-firmware packages which
have an install_if on the downstream or mainline kernel subpackage.

Stock Android on PineTab is detected as 1f3a:1007.
Use those values as USB idVendor and idProduct on
postmarketOS, too.
idVendor 1f3a is "Allwinner Technology Co., Ltd."
idProduct 1007 is unknown to databases.
device/device-asus-me176c:
- Install me176c-factory to apply correct MAC addresses for
WiFi and BT
- Use FAT32 for boot partition. This allows flashing the boot
partition directly as ESP (EFI System Partition).
- Overall cleanup
device/linux-asus-me176c:
- Update kernel fork to 4.19.80
- Cleanup APKBUILD
- Stop building patched ACPI DSDT table directly into kernel
firmware/firmware-asus-me176c:
- Package WiFi firmware
firmware/firmware-asus-me176c-acpi:
- New package for the patched ACPI DSDT table
-> Separate from firmware-asus-me176c because it is always required,
(not optional)
[ci:skip-build]: runs into timeout
