According to Purism, the imx8mq-librem5.dtb alias is going away soon,
and we should be using the -r2 dtb. The -r2 dtb (which represents
Birch/Chestnut L5 variants) is most compatible, it'll boot on later
variants. dtbs for later L5 devices won't work on older devices.
This is a generic package for devices which use x86_64 CPU and 32-bit
EFI. Most distributions don't provide installation for 32-bit EFI, so
installation is not user-friendly.
Actually, these tablets deserve device-specific packages (I am going to
make ones for ASUS VivoTab Note 8 and ASUS Transformer Book T100TA), but
this one includes basic functions and can be booted on any 32-bit EFI
tablet with disabled secure boot and missing device-specific package.
I guess 32-bit EFI with 64-bit CPU is Intel's "feature" and AMD doesn't
have such stuff, so this package will be installed only on devices with
Intel CPU, unlike device-tablet-x64uefi which can be installed on any
x86_64 PC. So i decided to enable some Intel specific things (userspace
GPU stuff and alsa-ucm-conf).
I used for reference device-tablet-x64uefi and
device-trekstor-surftabduow1 packages. This package also can be used as
a reference for device-specific ones.
Added support for Motorola Moto E 2014 codename: condor
It is booting, has usb, battery, flashing needs special fastboot command for the boot partition
- Upgrade librem5-base to v33
- Include the haptic vibration driver in initfs for supporting osk-sdl's
haptic feedback feature
- remove gps udev rule in pmaports in favor of using rule from
librem5-base
- install modem audio udev rule from librem5-base
- add openrc service for putting device into 'ship mode' on shutdown
(prevents battery from slowly draining)
- include Evergreen/r4 dtb in /boot
- Fix audio with port of ucm config to ucm2 (patch submitted upstream
here: https://source.puri.sm/Librem5/librem5-base/-/merge_requests/214)
Port based on an unofficial LineageOS port
from https://www.los-legacy.de/17.1/zerofltexx, using kernel from https://github.com/Exynos7420/android_kernel_samsung_exynos7420/
What works:
- Kernel boots
- Display and touch input (tested with Weston)
- USB networking
Note: I removed camera support in kernel config for now, as there were related kernel crashes.
Wifi doesn't work either yet because the firmware dependencies/paths need to be fixed first.
The modprobe.conf is not necessary on those devices because they already
load the panel module using deviceinfo_modules_initfs. Let's skip the
modprobe.conf in that case so we don't need to add all panels in two places.
A hack shamelessly stolen from Manjaro. Plasma Mobile runs in the user
session and needs direct access to the sys entries of the flashlight to
be able to toggle it in the GUI

Move the shelli-specific alsa config from MR 1741 into a subpackage that
only gets installed together with shelli.
With the config installed, programs using alsa instead of pulseaudio,
can't be controlled through the volume setting in Phosh anymore (and
probably other UIs too). Shelli doesn't use pulseaudio.
Change the path of the config file like in MR 1877, so it's easier to
override it if necessary.
While at it, improve the APKBUILD slightly by fixing the install_if of
the phosh subpkg (should depend on =$pkgver-r$pkgrel, see APKBUILD
reference), and fix long lines.
Simply disabling FIMC IS does not work however due to compilation
errors and a null pointer dereference. 01-fix-FIMC-IS-disabling.patch
takes care of this.
As with other exynos devices some additional things had to be disabled
to make the kernel compile after FIMC IS had been disabled,
specifically:
CONFIG_CAMERA_EEPROM
CONFIG_VIDEO_EXYNOS_MIPI_CSIS
CONFIG_LEDS_MAX77803
Apart from that we also have:
02-netfilter-symbols.patch, which fixes another compilation error.
03-usb_gadget-set-random-rndis-host-MAC-address-to-prev.patch (taken
from another device) which prevents host mac address being set to
00:00:00:00:00.
Kernel sources have been changed to the lineage-16.0 branch in the
exynos5420 repo, as that is where development happens at the moment.
based off from lineage os, manages to boot including ssh over usb.
had to disable:
CONFIG_HTC_RADIO_SMEM
CONFIG_HTC_MODEM_NOTIFIER
CONFIG_MSM_SMP2P
CONFIG_UIO_MSM_SHAREDMEM

This adds eg25-manager for managing modem power in userspace instead of
relying on the modem-power stuff in the kernel. The userspace
eg25-manager has proven to be more reliable than using modem-power.
An older setup-modem script is installed for ofono, since eg25-manager
cannot interface with ofono (yet).
The eg25 init script was removed since it only dealt with configuring
the modem-power driver in the kernel

Instead of running the entire setup_usb_network_configfs function we
run the parts that are actually necessary for
setup_usb_network_android to succeed when it is run afterwards.
USB networking, Touchscreen and display are working.
CONFIG_SND_SOC_QDSP6V2 is omitted from kernel config for now as the resulting driver fails to build.
Upstream changelog:

Suspend is also disabled in the kconfig, since it is not
supported/working on this device

- Includes fixes for X11 and color mode
- Switches to dtbtool-sprd

SEC_RESTRICT_ROOTING is a Samsung-specific option,

Works:
- Boots

I'm still working on this device. You can expect more things to work in
the future.
New upstream ALSA/PulseAudio release, new UCM regressions - of course!
Introduce some new hacks to make the ALSA UCM configurations work again.
This fixes weird "Combination of Speaker,Primary Microphone" outputs
appearing in the PulseAudio mixer.
And while we're at it, some minor improvements/additions:
- Default to Speaker/PrimaryMic instead of Headphones/Headset
I believe this is just a workaround until headphones detection
works properly.
- Add UCM configurations for oppo-a51f and lenovo-a6010
* Mainline kernel: enable installation of Wi-Fi firmware.
Now that we have Wi-Fi support in mainline kernel, use it.
* Mainline kernel: adjust description of mainline kernel
subpackage; we still cannot recommend it over downstream,
but it is not so experimental anymore.
* Downstream kernel: add workaround for broken SSH:
use dropbear instead of openssh server. See #808https://gitlab.com/postmarketOS/pmaports/-/issues/808
Hello there, DragonX256 here.
For now, this tablet only have flashing, USB net, display and touchscreen.
I will try to add other features soon, or, if I fail enough, switch to mainlining immediately :D
Fall back to gcc6, because wlan module compiled with gcc10 fails to
initialize with `module wlan: overflow in relocation type 261 val ffffffbffc000000`
error.
Explicitly add gcc-aarch64 in makedepends, because of gcc6 present, seems
like gcc dependencies not resolved correctly

The existing device package and its dependencies are for i9305, but
renaming them to i9300 makes more sense, as the i9300 is the base
version (SIII) and the i9305 (SIII LTE) is the improved version.
Since the installer leaves the partition in a state where the initramfs
needs to resize it. But without the force parameter the postmarketOS
initramfs won't touch the partitions
Mostly the GCC10 yylloc failure was seen but several others have been
observed:
* wireguard script was silently failing
* several gcc10 x86 errors
* a checksum from kernel.org has changed
Now we have 3 different gcc10 yylloc patches:
gcc10-extern_YYLOC_global_declaration.patch:
Linux < 4.2
linux4.2-gcc10-extern_YYLOC_global_declaration.patch:
Linux 4.2+
linux4.17-gcc10-extern_YYLOC_global_declaration.patch:
Linux 4.17+

With these kernel sources the device boots successfully,
sometimes. Usually, kernel panics and device reboots a couple of
times, but after a few attempts (maybe 1, maybe 7) it succeeds to
boot. The problems seem to be related to FIMC IS, unfortunately it
does not seem to be possible to just disable it in the kernel config,
as that leads to compilation errors.
I have so far just experimented with getting wifi up and running, but
it does not work out of the box even after adding firmware package
with files from TheMuppets, wpa_supplicant fails to connect and dmesg
is filed with lines like:
```

Upstream keeps making breaking changes in patch releases.
Let's fork alsa-ucm-conf entirely for now instead of just patching
in some files to ensure that these files don't break every few months.
This fixes audio on MSM8916 devices when not using the modem.
This subpackage was removed when a proper fix for suspend was merged,
however apk doesn't know to purge this subpackage, so the old elogind
hook workaround stuck around. This workaround could probably be removed
once we're sure all folks on edge have installed this upgraded package
with the 'provides'...
- re-enable console suspend, which seems to be broken with elogind when
suspending (kernel gets hung up indefinitely in vt_waitactive)
- add a suspend hook to work around the musb driver not allowing the
device to suspend
Based on my testing, this option seems to prevent suspending via
elogind (using `loginctl suspend`). When console suspend is disabled,
the kernel gets hung up in the call to vt_waitactive, and elogind times
out trying to suspend.
qrtr-ns is now part of the Linux kernel (as of version 5.9), so
there is no need to start it in userspace anymore. It does not seem
to be needed (or working) on downstream either.
linux-postmarketos-qcom-msm8996 is the only mainline kernel which
is still on < 5.9. In preparation to make the qrtr dependency optional
for rmtfs, let's explicitly enable qrtr-ns for MSM8996 devices to avoid
causing regressions.
Update to kernel 5.9 with the following changes:
* Change tri-state key to macro keys instead of 'A', 'B' and 'C' keys.

Initial support for Sony Xperia XA (codename: sony-tuba). Builds, can be
flashed, ssh connection through usb works, display works, touchscreen works,
no wifi or anything else.
According to the wiki pages, some interfaces can't be built for the
armhf architecture. This device is configured to armhf but it actually
supports armv7 architecture. Tested with a samsung-i9300.
This new version:
- Upgrades device config from upstream to v25
- Fixes a problem using modesetting driver on Xorg (lightdm
was broken because it now uses Xorg)
- Override GDK to use GLES (change from upstream Purism)
