Enable CONFIG_CRYPTO_XTS for each kernel, so we can switch to using
aes-xts-plain64 as default cipher for cryptsetup (override with
"pmbootstrap --cipher"), instead of aes-cbc-plain64 (pmbootstrap#1940).
I have executed "pmbootstrap kconfig edit" on each kernel, and manually
toggled the option. The diff is not always clean, because for some
kernels it is apparently the first time, that menuconfig was executed on
the configs like that. In a few instances, it turned out that
CONFIG_ANDROID_PARANOID_NETWORK needed to be disabled too (this is
already a requirement, but as the config was incomplete, it was not
visible that this option was enabled). Very few times, I had to enable
CONFIG_EXPERIMENTAL in order to see and enable CONFIG_CRYPTO_XTS.
It would be great if we could automate such mass kconfig edits in the
future, see pmbootstrap#1942.
[skip ci]: I have verified, that every single one of these kernels builds.
CI will likely run out of time while downloading source tarballs.
Remove it, to prevent the following error:
rm: can't remove '.config': No such file or directory
This must have been necessary before, because the prepare script was
different, or abuild did something differently.
Make it possible to find the kernel config with "pmbootstrap kconfig
edit". While at it, also remove redundant -C "$builddir" arguments for
make (since prepare is running in $builddir already).
For most firmware packages we use a vendor- prefix to make it clear
who has provided the firmware. The firmware-rtl8723bt package is only
used for Pine64 devices and actually contains configs that are specific
to Pine64 hardware (e.g. rtl8723bs_config-pine64.bin).
Let's rename it to firmware-pine64-rtl8723bt to make this more clear.
Also cleanup the APKBUILD a bit and provide the LICENSE file in a -doc
subpackage so we can legally redistribute that firmware.
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.
[ci:skip-build]: already built successfully in CI
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
[ci:skip-build] Already built on CI
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.
