All kernels compile again, after the GCC 8 upgrade.
All 3.x kernels have been changed to use GCC 6 now, because we can't
say for sure that they boot with GCC 8 even if we made them compile
with that newer GCC. If someone wants to test a kernel for a newer
device which they can test, see the instructions on
<https://postmarketos.org/vendorkernel>.
The linux-sony-castor-windy 4.x kernel did not compile out of the box
with the latest GCC, so we set it to GCC 6 as well. This can probably
be fixed easily.
linux-teclast-x80-pro: removed Werror and updated to latest 4.14 kernel
from kernel.org, otherwise this would not compile anymore (tested with
both GCC 6 and 8, probably incompatibility with the latest binutils or
something).
This commit will take too long to compile in CI, so let's [skip ci].
I've compiled all kernels multiple times and fixed them up until all of
them were working again.
Related: #103
* change "pmbootstrap kconfig_check" to "pmbootstrap kconfig check"
* change "pmbootstrap menuconfig" to "pmbootstrap kconfig edit [-x|-g]"
(with legacy alias, because the first syntax was referenced to a lot)
* enable X11 interfaces: -x: xconfig, -g: gconfig
* new function to copy the xauthority file:
pmb.chroot.other.copy_xauthority()
* remove menufconfig() function from the kernel template and all kernel
aports ([skip ci] because it would rebuild all kernels and run out of
time). Alpine has dropped this as well, and it wouldn't work with the
new code anyway.
The kgsl 3d driver causes the device to boot loop, so disable this for
now.
The device boots ok after removing the kgsl driver, although continuing
boot from debug-shell via `pmos_continue_boot` does not work (seems to
be a bug in msm_fb driver). So, one has to reflash the boot partition
generated with no intfs debug shell to enjoy this improvement.
The device is Xiaomi Redmi 1S, based on MSM8296 platform, with Qualcomm
Snapdragon 400. The kernel is from lineageOS (3.4.0). Some additional patches
are needed for successful compilation. The screen dimension is 720x1280.
The touchscreen device name is ft5x06_i2c. Use this name for udev
instead of hardcoded device path. Also add a workaround for red
screen weston by setting weston_pixman to 2
The screen doesn't refresh. Enabling msm-fb-refresher as suggested.
Add udev rule to indicate whether the device is in charging state.
Green led indicates that the device is charging, whereas red light
indicates that the device is discharging.
For prima wlan module to work, an initialization procedure is needed (
echo 1 > /dev/wcnss_wlan ), before loading the prima wlan module
(wlan.ko). Also build the prima wlan as module.
Xiaomi Redmi 1S is using pronto wlan module, which needs some firmware
to run. Add the required wifi firmware to enable the wifi interface.
Add an openrc service to load wlan module after wcnss_service is
initialized.
