This is the downstream u-boot port for the Galaxy S2.
The load script has been slightly altered to load the kernel from the
KERNEL partition at the 512 KiB offset, instead of loading it from the
RECOVERY partition, since PostmarketOS places the second initramfs in
the RECOVERY partition.

Newer Qualcomm SoCs (e.g. SDM845. MSM8953) seem to use a different
method to talk to the modem. There are no longer separate rpmsg/SMD
channels for QMI messags, instead the modem is also available through QRTR.
On these newer SoCs, installing msm-modem-mainline is pointless,
because the created /dev/modem device will not actually allow
communicating with the modem. However, you still need the part from
the base package (msm-modem), which installs+enables rmtfs.
To avoid confusion, rename the msm-modem-mainline subpackage to
msm-modem-rpmsg. Install only "msm-modem" on SDM845 because that
likely does not allow communication with the modem through RPMSG
anyway.
In the Linux kernel, the ST-Ericsson NovaThor U8500 SoC is barely
ever mentioned under the "NovaThor" name, more common are names like
U8500, Ux500, ST-Ericsson, STE, ...
Let's rename the kernel package to linux-postmarketos-stericsson
to make that more clear. Also cleanup the APKBUILD a bit while we're
at it, HOSTCC is unneeded, remove unnecessary depends, ...
bq-paella allows running unsigned firmware from other devices.
We can use that advantage to replace some of the original firmware
with newer versions from other devices. The DB410c has updated WCNSS
firmware that reportedly improves WiFi/BT coexistence (i.e. behavior
when both WiFi/BT are active at the same time).
Depend on the virtual "firmware-qcom-msm8916-wcnss" package to give
the user the choice which firmware version they would like to run.
The newer version from "firmware-qcom-db410c-wcnss" is installed by
default (since it has a higher "provider_priority"), but the user
can choose to replace it by running "apk add firmware-bq-picmt-wcnss".
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.
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.
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.)
Just got done with my second port of postmarketOS, here's the device:
Amazon Fire 7 (2019) postmarketOS
Mediatek MT8163
600x1024 display
1GB RAM
Linux 4.9.77 (downstream kernel)
Untested:
- Wi-Fi
- Audio
Pretty much everything else
Works:
- Boots
- Touchscreen
- Battery percentage seems to show in Xfce
a5lte and a5ulte are almost identical hardware-wise, the separate
package is mainly necessary because they use different firmware
signatures.
Alexey Min agreed to do some testing occasionally :)
I noticed that the Samsung i9003 is actually a heimdall-bootimg device.
But at the same time, the kernel is assembled as if it is isorec.

Update to a new kernel based on v5.7-rc6, adding the following new
features:
* Remoteproc support and firmware loading
* Panel drivers for OnePlus 6/T
* Adreno 630 support
* Anbox support
The new firmware-oneplus-sdm845 is required for these features and
devices will not have working display output without firmware

Generating a sparse rootfs speeds up flashing through Fastboot.
Also change some bootimg offsets to be more accurate to the one
actually used by the bootloader. (They will actually just be ignored,
since the bootloader always uses its own hard-coded ones.)
Make voice call audio work out of the box by starting q6voiced on
all installations with the modem. It might be nice to start it only
when oFono is installed and enabled, but q6voiced is quite minimal
so it does not seem worth the effort.
Some of the recommendations have changed upstream and a few devices
should be called differently now. The following changes are made:
- Headphone -> Headphone*s*
(29041c5220/include/use-case.h (L136))
- DigitalMic -> Mic
(1ad660ddee)
- HeadsetMic -> Headset
(29041c5220/include/use-case.h (L137))
- Add .conf suffix for verb configurations
- Set Playback/CaptureChannels as integer, not as string
- Remove empty Enable/DisableSequence sections
(d6a150d34f)
At the moment we have Contributor: lines on some packages (but not all of them),
but often they don't represent the actual contributors to the package very well.
E.g. when we added them retroactively to the device packages we only added
the initial contributor (which isn't necessarily the person
who made most of the work for a device...)
The Git history is the most representative source for figuring out
who contributed to a package, so there is no reason to duplicate that
into the APKBUILD.
[skip ci]: way too many packages
- Enable speaker on samsung-gt510wifi/matissevewifi
- Replace deprecated mesa-dri-freedreno package with mesa-dri-gallium
- Build natively (this is just a trivial copy)
Changes:
- Add audio package dependency;
- Replace panel driver with one from stock kernel (thanks to bnister);
- Change keyboard layout so it's fully supported in X11.

This commit adds initial support for sprdphone sound card and sc8830-audio
device. sc8830-audio is common audio device used in different Spreadtrum SoCs.
This configuration was tested on Nobby 230 (SC7715GA), Finepower F1 (SC7731C),
Samsung Galaxy J1 mini (SC8830). It should work for many other SoCs as well.
Now, if someone wants to have somewhat working audio, they just have to add
soc-sprd-audio-sc8830 package to depends of device- package and that's it.
soc-sprd-audio is only for generic configuration (set sprdphone as default
sound card and provide headphone jack detection).
What works:
- Speaker and headphones output;
- Headphone jack detection (based on udev rules from device-xiaomi-santoni);
- Microphone works on both headphones and device itself.
Spotted issues:
- Recording volume is low;
- Recording is done only on right channel.
With the camera driver (VIDEO_EXYNOS_FIMC_IS) enabled, the system
would randomly panic during startup. Even though the camera does
not currently work on this system, the driver is nonetheless enabled
to make the flashlight work.
The panics seem to be triggered by udev's "v4l_id", which queries
capabilities of video4linux devices.
This change adds a udev rules file, to override the behavior of udev's
default rules for v4l.
- Cleanup kernel cmdline:
- earlycon can automatically detect the memory address of
the UART controller based on the device tree
- the comma before n8 in console=ttyMSM0,115200,n8 is actually
invalid so this was not parsed correctly. However, it is the
default anyway so we might as well remove it completely
- Configure deviceinfo_getty for all devices
- Workaround probe issue of display by adding a softdep on the panel
module. This allows the display to work when excluding proprietary
firmware (just a weird side effect, see comment in modprobe.conf...)
The device port gets increasingly hard to maintain with all the differences
between the downstream and the mainline kernel. Especially deviceinfo
has quite some duplication only because the downstream kernel needs to be
handled as well.
The mainline port has much more features working. The only limitation
compared to the downstream kernel is the lack of a proper charging driver.
But even on downstream postmarketOS the battery driver is not working
properly for some reason.
For charging, a downstream installation in recovery seems more suitable
at the moment. Eventually we will build some functionality into the
bootloader to load a simple downstream initramfs when the device gets
booted for charging.
The dts for oneplus bacon was already present in linux-postmarketos.
I adjusted the APKBUILD and deviceinfo to be able to use both downstream and mainline kernels
These changes enable the flashlight LED driver (fled_rt5033), and add
support for switching the light on and off from userspace.
In more detail:
* CONFIG_FLED_RT5033 enables the flashlight driver
* CONFIG_VIDEO_EXYNOS_FIMC_IS is required for the flashlight driver to
compile (there seems to be a lot of cross-dependency between the two
drivers)
* patch 0001 fixes the use of usleep (which no longer exists), to make
the kernel compile with those settings
With these changes, /sys/class/flashlight/rt-flash-led shows up in
sysfs, but it's only possible to control the brightness of the LED,
not to switch it on.
Patch 0002 is what actually makes the flashlight usable: it makes
the /sys/class/flashlight/rt-flash-led/mode file writable.
Writing "Torch" there enables the flashlight, writing "Off" disables
it again. "Mixed" mode works like "Torch" as well. I have not figured
out yet how to trigger the camera flash, so setting the mode to
"Flash" is possible, albeit pointless.
For testing changes for device categorization, it is useful to have
a device in each of the categories. The PinePhone is close to being
moved to main/, but it doesn't fulfill all requirements yet.
The QEMU "device ports" are very simple since QEMU currently only
emulates a rather limited set of hardware features. All available features
are working correctly (especially after the recent rework of the QEMU
packages). I suppose it is also usable as a "daily driver", at least for
its intended purpose (a virtual machine for testing postmarketOS changes). :)
Given that everyone can run QEMU, everyone could potentially maintain
it. For now I have added myself as maintainer since I did most of the
recent cleanup. Add drebrez as second maintainer.
Overall it seems useful to have qemu-* in main/, especially because
it is now the device that is selected by default in pmbootstrap.

- disable CONFIG_CRYPTO_SHA256_ARM, since it causes the build to fail with:

This updates google-crosshatch's downstream kernel to Lineage 17.1's
version (4.9.200, shared with Lineage's Pixel 3a port).
The newer kernel is needed because this device's kernel requires a
matching dtbo partition. The previous kernel would fail to boot with an
Android 10 dtbo partition.
Two patches were removed: Android 10's bootloader no longer passes the dm
or skip_initramfs boot arguments because of the new dynamic partitions
(https://source.android.com/devices/tech/ota/dynamic_partitions/ab_legacy).
Changes from the LineageOS kernel config:
https://gist.github.com/zhuowei/89b4135ff27e88f5a3dd3e4bf3cd31ab
Tested by booting to USB networking and debug-shell: I have not tested
flashing full pmOS using this kernel yet.
For some reason, on this kernel, when pmOS can't find system partitions
during the "Trying to mount subpartitions for 10 seconds..." stage, it
waits for 70 seconds instead of 10 seconds. I'm not sure why. It does go
to debug-shell correctly after a minute.

[skip-ci]: just downloading all kernel sources takes about one hour
and ollieparanoid wants to merge it now. This already ran
successfully with [ci:skip-build] and [ci:skip-vercheck].
mesa-demos is currently broken in Alpine since it needs a rebuild.
However, a device port shouldn't force installation of something like
mesa-demos so we should remove it anyway.
* make modules_initfs same as lg-hammerhead
(fixes postmarketOS splash logos at boot)
* split out downstream-firmware and mainline-firmware
* add firmware-adreno to firmware-mainline subpkg
* prepare deviceinfo file to mainline kernel
These files are just a copy paste of the regular OnePlus 5 ones with
adjusted codename, display name and screen height.
The used kernel is linux-oneplus-msm8998 (shared with cheeseburger).
This is in preparation for adding in support for the OnePlus 5T
(dumpling) on top of the regular OnePlus 5 (cheeseburger).
Both devices use the same kernel so the name change just makes sense.
Might as well update the downstream kernel when someone (nathanchance)
is merging in updates as they come out for the linux-stable 4.4.y series
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
This fixes a bug where the package does not install some files as
expected.
For the librem5 package, this also generates the modemmanager
subpackage, which was missed in testing/review earlier.
