The WCNSS firmware from DB410c is also useful for other devices
that can run unsigned firmware (e.g. bq-paella) because it is newer
and reportedly has some WiFi/BT coexistence problems fixed.
To allow easy switching betwen the original firmware from the manufacturer
(firmware-bq-picmt-wcnss) and the newer firmware (firmware-qcom-db410c-wcnss)
we make both packages provide a virtual "firmware-qcom-msm8916-wcnss"
package. The newer version from firmware-qcom-db410c gets a higher
provider_priority so it is installed by default.
However, the user can choose to do "apk add firmware-bq-picmt-wcnss"
to get the original firmware from the manufacturer instead.
This release gets rid of the hacks needed for out-of-tree modules in the
previous version of calamares.
[ci:skip-build]: already built successfully in CI
Following discussions in
https://gitlab.com/postmarketOS/pmaports/-/issues/398, swclock has been
removed from postmarketos-base to avoid setting time incorrectly on
devices with a hardware clock. The various raspberry pi don't have
an hardware clock. This activate swclock back.
Fails to build, because extra-cmake-modules from Alpine is not available
for armhf. Its APKBUILD says "Blocked by qt5-qtdeclarative".

Add common.get_upstream_branch() and use it instead of assuming "master"
as upstream branch.
Example: user forks v20.05 to v20.05_some-fix, then creates a merge
request. CI must use v20.05 as upstream branch, when comparing for
modified files etc.
This makes recording system audio very simple and feasible in a cross-device
manner since application-logic can always rely / forward ALSA audio to the
loopback device instead of a device-specific audio interface.
This adds a hwdb override for the trackpad that fixes the reported size, this fixes
the acceleration profile and palm detection in libinput.
Pulse now follows alsa paths for ucm files so the path for the rk3399 ucm has been
updated to match.
The DB410c is a SBC with APQ8016 SoC. It runs on mainline without
any patches. This port makes use of the existing linux-postmarketos-qcom-msm8916
kernel package that is used for other mainline MSM8916 devices.
Tested functionality:
- USB Network, USB Host (e.g. an USB keyboard)
- Flashing (Fastboot)
- Display (HDMI)
- WiFi/BT
- GPU
- Audio (HDMI)
- FDE
Not tested:
- GPS
Note: The firmware package is called firmware-qcom-db410c (instead of arrow)
because the firmware is provided directly by Qualcomm, not Arrow.
Newer versions of alsa-lib now require a top-level ALSA UCM
configuration (/usr/share/alsa/ucm2/ucm.conf):
ALSA lib parser.c:2159:(load_toplevel_config) Unable to find the top-level configuration file '/usr/share/alsa/ucm2/ucm.conf'.
ALSA lib main.c:983:(snd_use_case_mgr_open) error: failed to import hw:0 use case configuration -2
alsaucm: error failed to open sound card hw:0: No such file or directory
The upstream ALSA UCM configurations are provided by Alpine's
"alsa-ucm-conf" package, so make sure to install it additionally.
What works:
- Booting
- Display
- Touch
- USB Ethernet
What doesn't:
- Sound
- Wi-Fi
- Modem
- Camera
(NOTE: If the display doesn't work, try flashing your phone back to stock, then trying again.)
Bring the GCC packages up to date with upstream.
This adds a patch for time64 compatible futext syscall, it is needed for musl 1.2
which makes our little phones works after 2038.
