This modernizes the APKBUILD that was based from outdated one (still
needs GCC6) as requested in !165 (comment 133993271). Also adds a fix
to allow Xorg booting, osk-sdl doesn't work yet as it throws some ugly
faults in kernel related to fbcon.
[skip ci]: already built successfully in CI
Finally got display working, but it's based on MoKee kernel which is
also hosted on GitHub by community. So what works:
* USB Networking
* Flashing
* Touchscreen
* Display
* Weston with Xwayland
The device boots and shows the splash screen properly, after about 3
sec the screen went black. I had to
"echo 127 > /sys/devices/i2c-0/0-0038/leds/lm3530-backlight/brightness"
to make the backlight work, even though the value of it was already
127.
[skip ci]: this was built successfully in CI already
I have tested this on xfce4 and weston. Also plasma-mobile "works"! The
performance isn't any better than on armhf, it's still less than one
frame per second and llvmpipe still doesn't work.
After switching to armv7, this kernel fails to compile with the
following error unless CONFIG_CRYPTO_AES_ARM_BS is disabled:
arch/arm/crypto/aesbs-core.S:449: Error: thumb conditional instruction should be in IT block -- `addeq r6,r6,#0x10'
arch/arm/crypto/aesbs-core.S:904: Error: thumb conditional instruction should be in IT block -- `addeq r6,r6,#0x10'
arch/arm/crypto/aesbs-core.S:2100: Error: thumb conditional instruction should be in IT block -- `subne r9,#0x10'
Quite a few Nexus 5X devices have the tendency to bootloop after a while
of being on, iirc because it overheats. This has been a known issue for
quite some time, and most Android ROM's for it have measures in place to
prevent this, in the form of disabling some CPU cores (iirc "Big cores"
or something like that). My Nexus 5X is also subject to this issue.
According to craftyguy, resolving this is as easy as changing the boot
command to not use those CPU cores. This commit does exactly that. It
should probably be made optional for people with this device without
that issue, but since I have no clue how to do that atm, this is the
safest for now.
Initial support for Xiaomi A1 aka xiaomi-tissot using LineageOS 15.1
kernel, has similar board to Xiaomi Redmi 4 aka xiaomi-mido with some
differences that had to be patched such as reversing skip_initramfs and
ignoring dm param. 16.0 kernel boots but display fb init doesn't work.
Weston boots with touch support, SSH via USB RNDIS works.
[skip ci]: this built once in CI already, good to go.
Integrate Gemini PDA support into master from old branch:
https://github.com/postmarketOS/pmbootstrap/commits/device-planet-geminipda
Most of hybris-related changes (besides KWin) was merged, so it is just
device and kernel aports now.
The state of hardware support is unchanged from:
https://wiki.postmarketos.org/wiki/Planet_Computers_Gemini_PDA_(planet-geminipda)
Without hybris, it can boot to graphics with X11 fbdev driver, the
included config enables correct rotation (as it has portrait display,
but usable only in landscape).
For running it with hybris, which can allow for 3D acceleration, we need
a way to package and provide large LXC image for running Halium Android
container. Lately Adam Boardman from Gemini PDA community also got voice
calls working in Debian install with a mix of SailfishOS middleware and
Ubuntu Touch applications, which could be probably adapted for
postmarketOS if needed.
Add firmware-rtl8723bt package and Pine wifi and bluetooth firmware
subpackage.
[skip ci]: ollieparanoid will build this MR manually before merging, it
will probably not finish CI within one hour.
The device boots, USB networking is available and the display does also
work, even though the default display brightness seems to be zero. More
information can be found in the wiki.
Use upstream Linux with patches, which are needed for a lot of things.
lambdadroid said he will upstream some of them, but the battery driver
would need to be written from scratch, which is apparentely
non-trivial.
[skip ci]: kernel doesn't build under one hour (maybe too many modules
are selected), but it does build eventually
As mentioned in #151, the Raspberry Pi Zero doesn't have an ethernet
port, so this makes it quite complicated to connect to the device from
a fresh install, because wifi/bluetooth/serial/... are not configured.
With this new package, the device starts with the microUSB configured as
ethernet and the dhcpd is running on the RPI, so you can simply connect
it to a computer and connect with SSH in order to configure it.
This is a followup to !109 (merged). Affected packages:
* device/linux-samsung-p4wifi
* device/linux-sony-tulip
* device/linux-teclast-x80pro
* main/linux-postmarketos-allwinner
* main/linux-postmarketos-mainline
* main/linux-postmarketos-qcom
* main/linux-postmarketos-stable
[skip ci] I have confirmed that all 7 kernels still compile.
The modules wl12xx, mac80211 and cfg80211.ko are assembled as modules,
but due to the lack of the command 'make modules_install' in APKBUILD,
these modules are not included in the finished package. Because of this,
it was impossible to launch Wi-Fi on Samsung-i9003.
Modernize the APKBUILD. Load reboot mode kernel module, and uinput
kernel module (used by bluetoothd).
User facing changes:
* Uses some mainline sensor drivers.
* Fixes bluetooth audio stuttering (needs some userspace fixes though).
Various code refactoring happened. I tried to write a better looking
display panel driver rather than reuse the downstream driver. Not
quite there yet though.
Use latest sources from LineageOS, instead of the ones from andip71.
The APKBUILD is modernized to use the devicepkg-dev but unfortunately
compiling with gcc8 it doesn't boot.
The kernel config is updated with the required options to start the
lxc-android container and xf86-video-hwcomposer works
(tested with xfce4).
My plan was to add the firmware-samsung-klte with the subpackages for
the wifi blobs and a precompiled android system.img to use with
libhybris, but my device just died and I'm not able to power it on (I've
probably burnt the Power IC 😢)
For i3 on the N900, which seems to be the only device using i3 at the
moment, I thought using Tabbed workspace layout as the default would be
best, since the screen is quite small, and having two split windows can
quickly make it impractical.
With this commit, all new windows will be created in tabbed
configuration. It is still possible to switch to stacking or standard
layout as needed, using the appropriate shortcut keys.
gcc-fix-put-user.patch doesn't apply cleanly to any kernel that
includes commit 538094 ("ARM: 8051/1: put_user: fix possible data
corruption in put_user") or a backport of it because the surrounding
lines (context) of the patch are different:
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?id=537094b64b229bf3ad146042f83e74cf6abe59df
This commit fixes the problem by removing the context from the patch. It
also changes linux-sony-amami, linux-sony-aries, and linux-sony-taoshan
to use the shared patch.
I have confirmed that all six affected kernels still compile. [skip ci]
Ouya boots. Install instructions are being refined, but device does
boot through fastboot. Hoping to merge into master to encourage others
to contribute to the device.
This reverts commit ee659a5bb4
and increases the pkgrels of all affected linux pmaports.
I have compiled *every single kernel* that was modified with this
commit, and it worked. That took 12 hours. So I'm pretty confident that
this is a good commit. Let's roll it out and go back to stability \o/
I'll kick off the binary repo building directly after pushing this, but
it will take some time until all binary packages are available again.
[skip ci]: it wouldn't finish in time.
Add -j1 to compiling the standby code, which is compiled separately
already. This change seems to make the kernel always compile, I've
tried it 6 times, 3 times of that with pmbootstrap's "--no-ccache"
option. It got past an error about 30 seconds into the build, which
happened roughly 2 out of 10 times:
gcc6-armv6-alpine-linux-muslgnueabihf-ld: cannot find standby.o: No such file or directory
I thought, this was related to gcc6 changes, or to changes in abuild,
but both were not the case.
Grant Miller confirmed that this fixed the build, he was able to
compile the kernel ten times in a row with this commit.
This is a simple backport of the getrandom syscall. It does not
include other changes to the random interface like periodic or
late re-seeding which might be necessary to get good random numbers.
Use the device's architecture instead of noarch. Because the device
packages should never be built for other architectures, even if all
depends can be built for other arches as well.
This simplifies package building as part of the new build
infrastructure effort.
pmbootstrap has also been changed to output this by default in
aportgen.
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.
