The kernel is based on Samsung's downstream kernel for the device. Some
configuration changes are required to make the kernel to work:
* Tizen kernel uses SLP USB gadget, changed to Android USB gadget.
* sprdfb patches and modification on the devicetree files are required
to use the framebuffer.
* Other required pmOS kernel settings were enabled.
* Tizen does not use initramfs, use RAMDISK partition to store initramfs
of pmOS (like heimdall-isorec configuration). As far as I know, no
alternative OS exists for this device so this is the very first usage.
* Flash the root file system to USER, as ROOTFS is < 1 GB in size and
USER is about 2.7 GB.
samsung-kiran: Update device and firmware packages
* Changed kernel configuration for firmware path to follow postmarketOS.
* Post install script to mount CSA partition
CSA partition [1] contains non-volatile data for Tizen devices. As
Samsung Z1 uses this partition to store Wi-Fi and Bluetooth information,
mount this partition to use within postmarketOS.

The option `deviceinfo_flash_sparse_samsung_format` seems to work
fine on the xcover4lte.
Setting `deviceinfo_flash_sparse_samsung_format` to `1` (and
`deviceinfo_flash_sparse="true"`) causes heimdall to no longer hang

Note from merger (Newbyte):
While this device is aarch64, switching to aarch64 comes with issues
and would need more work than a vendor kernel like this is worth.
Use armv7 for now and hopefully mainline it in the future and switch

Basic support for the Tolino Shine 3 ebook reader. It is the same board as
the Kobo Clara HD.
Waveform handling shares the same oddities as for the Kobo Clara HD
but the file epdc_E060SCM.fw from the IMX6SL BSP from NXP does also work.
The existing waveform from SD card is used.
Preferred way to install is to clone the internal SD, keeping the original
as a backup, install on that clone.
U-Boot is a more recent one than the factory u-boot, so devicetrees are nicely
supported. Kernel is the near mainline kernel also used by the Kobo Clara HD.
This commit adds a package for the sm6125-mainline kernel fork. As of
now it uses kernel version 5.18_rc4, pulled from torvalds/linux.

A quirky device, the last Mi Ax phone in the line. - Powered by
Snapdragon 665 (SM6125, codenamed Trinket), 8 cores, 4 clocked a 2.0
GHz and 4 more clocked at 1.8 GHz. 4-6 GB of RAM, 64-128 GB of UFS
storage, 720p 6.09" AMOLED display, a 48 Mpx quad-bayer camera (plus two
more on the back and one on the front) and an under display fingerprint
sensor which may be impossible to ever implement... *sigh*
Mainline kernel as of now is pretty minimal (framebuffer display, USB
networking). No UFS support (yet!).
patches added are (not all, just some) fixes and feature enhancements
for msm8992 and msm8994 from qcom mainline maintainer tree [1] for v5.18
and v5.19.
Changes:
* update deviceinfo_dtb_mainline for device-huawei-angler and
device-lg-bullhead.
* add sdhc1 support for device-huawei-angler

I'd say this is not appropriate to be in postmarketOS because
this is just a bog standard x86 computer, it has UEFI BIOS and
everything, and you can just boot a Linux distro on a USB
stick.
It also has a 64-bit UEFI unlike some other tablet, so there
should be no issue installing a Linux distro with a fairly
modern kernel these days.
So, let's just drop it and forget this port even existed.
The charging script does nothing other than annoy a few people,
so get rid of it.
While at it, let's remove hybris reference from the APKBUILD as

Device uses mainline kernel. What works:
- boots
- pstore log
- simple framebuffer
- storage including sdcard
* payload mock device tree:
Payload mock device tree is needed to mock device tree,
when we're overriding linux with u-boot in android boot image.
Stock bootloader needs this dtb appended to gzipped u-boot.
Bootscript is a simple hush shell script, dedicated to boot OS.
It may be customized to implement dual boot or to change kernel
command line.
To make panel driver upstreamable to mainline linux, we need to use
proper panel selection in secondary bootloader (still TODO), and
therefore lk2nd will be strictly required to boot mainline port.
Switch flashing method to fastboot, enable sparse rootfs generation,
and depend on lk2nd package.
Depends on: postmarketOS/pmbootstrap!2174, to provide full
integration of lk2nd in pmbootstrap.
So, full flashing procedure for samsung-klte will look like:
$ pmbootstrap init
$ pmbootstrap install
$ pmbootstrap flasher --method=heimdall-bootimg flash_lk2nd
$ pmbootstrap flasher flash_kernel --no-install
$ pmbootstrap flasher flash_rootfs
$ fastboot reboot
This removes u-boot from our image and allows booting via an
UEFI-compatible platform firmware instead. So to flash pmOS on the PPP
now we will require the user to flash Tow-Boot to the SPI. See the edge
post for more information.

Add option for mainline kernel iso downstream kernel. Note that a lot is

Now that internal storage is supported, we actually need a 4096 sector

Unfortunately, the oppo-a51f has been unmaintained for quite some time
now. The original author (harutora) has disappeared and no one else
seems to have this device. The device port has several open problems:
1. The device was never added properly to upstream lk2nd, because
of a special (OPPO-specific) boot image format. Users need to
compile and install some outdated version of lk2nd, which is no
longer (fully) compatible with newer kernel versions.
2. The authorship of the Linux changes are unclear: They were created
with a "no-reply" email address and without Signed-off-by line
that clarifies the licensing of the changes and permits upstreaming
the patches.
Since oppo-a51f is the last remaining device port in linux-postmarketos
-qcom-msm8916 with this problem, I decided to drop the patches from the
kernel, at least until harutora returns or can clarify the authorship
of the created patches.
The soc-qcom-sdm845-nonfree-firmware dependency is now moved from
firmware-shift-sdm845 package to the device package.
This will make the firmware package to only depend on firmware files.
The soc-qcom-sdm845-nonfree-firmware dependency is now moved from

I'm not deduplicating the UCM files between m3 and m0 as I may not
always be able to test changes to m3, and I'd rather have a an
outdated configuration for m3 than a broken one.
Apparently works significantly better on SHV-E210S and seems to
work about equally well on i9300. Besides, using upstream firmware
with a clear licence is nice. Also use different nvram file for m3.

This firmware is useful for other devices (m3, t0lte, p4note, ...), so
let's give it a more generic name and split up WiFi and Bluetooth into
separate packages as the WiFi firmware isn't useful for t0lte at the
moment. Also drop the downstream kernel firmware from here to simplify
the APKBUILD, and give it its own package in the following commit.
Do not fiddle with a compiled .a file from the vendor, rather
ignore it and add functional equivalent sources.

With this wifi seem to work reliably, and it is possibly to for
example connect to a bluetooth speaker and play music.
For wifi, issue seem to be with the nvram_net.txt file, changing only
that one to a newer one makes wifi work. Here, both the .txt and .bin
file are updated, as the old files are from 2012, while the new
ones have a datestamp from 2019.
This command was missed when bl1, bl2 and tzsw were renamed. Truncate
apparently creates a new file of the specified size if file doesn't
exist (instead of failing), so this was missed by CI.
Use the new linux-postmarketos-exynos5 package. A dtb for klimtwifi
is added as well, even though the device has not been ported yet.

With this you can get the modem and wifi running nearly out of the box.
As the kernel currently doesn't support UFS (internal storage) you need
to dump the following partitions using dd in TWRP or similar:
fsc, fsg, modemst1, modemst2, tunning
Place those as files in the rootfs in /modem-partitions/ and add "-o
/modem-partitions" to the rmtfs arguments by modifying /etc/init.d/rmtfs
and changing command_args to "-P -r -o /modem-partitions".
