Support for the downstream kernel has been removed entirely. This is
because the downstream kernel only has support for the armhf
architecture, whereas linux-postmarketos-qcom-msm8916 is only built
for aarch64. Since pmbootstrap has no way to handle having two
kernels on differing architectures, the decision was made to remove
the downstream kernel and only support mainline.
I'm not sure how this package even worked before... The install location
on the second loop was invalid as the "$fw" variable would result to
nothing. This would normally cause all files in that loop to be named
the same...
samsung-serranovelte runs Linux mainline (linux-postmarketos-qcom-msm8916)
with support for:
- Display
- Touchscreen
- Sound
- GPIO keys
- NFC
- Vibrator
- IMU (Accelerometer + Gyroscope)
- Battery
The primary limitation of samsung-serranovelte is that it can only run
ARMv7 (32-bit) binaries, even though its hardware (MSM8916) is 64-bit
capable. This is because it was never updated with 64-bit compatible
firmware (usually introduced together with the Android 5.0 update).
[ci:skip-vercheck]: only added new architectures
MSM8916 has a single "modem" firmware for the audio DSP and modem.
In some early tests, the remote processor boots successfully at least
and the modem shows up in ofono. (Have not done further tests yet...)
However, audio stops working as soon as it is loaded
(because the audio DSP assumes control over the audio hardware).
For now let's just package it for all MSM8916 mainline devices
so it can be installed more easily. It is not used or installed
by default but it can be manually installed for testing.
Remove all firmware-support dependencies from the firmware package and
add them to -downstream-firmware and -mainline-firmware packages which
have an install_if on the downstream or mainline kernel subpackage.

device/device-asus-me176c:
- Install me176c-factory to apply correct MAC addresses for
WiFi and BT
- Use FAT32 for boot partition. This allows flashing the boot
partition directly as ESP (EFI System Partition).
- Overall cleanup
device/linux-asus-me176c:
- Update kernel fork to 4.19.80
- Cleanup APKBUILD
- Stop building patched ACPI DSDT table directly into kernel
firmware/firmware-asus-me176c:
- Package WiFi firmware
firmware/firmware-asus-me176c-acpi:
- New package for the patched ACPI DSDT table
-> Separate from firmware-asus-me176c because it is always required,
(not optional)
[ci:skip-build]: runs into timeout
The modem boots up properly without causing any problems, so let's
install the firmware and support packages by default.
Also install adsp-audio now by default to boot up the adsp for audio and
other services provided by the processor.

Firmware for Exynos 7880 SOC from https://github.com/TheMuppets
It is needed to enable wifi, and possibly other hardware. All of firmware found on Muppets has been packaged.
Also contains wlan module configuration.
- OTG support
- Charger
- WiFi 5GHz
- RTC bug "fixed" (always-on interrupt - made device overheat!)
- Kernel version bumped to 5.2.1
- Memory timings
- New WM8994 codec board driver (fixes suspend/resume)
- Camera's regulator supported now (saves power at least!)
- Updated panel driver (still not in mainline, idk why)
- MHL support in kernel (fixes boot times and screen, currently disabled in X,
not tested)
- Other minor kernel chagnes

Boots succsfully, SSH over USB works fine, display and touch screen
works fine. WiFi is also confirmed to be working.
