I only just noticed #24 |

How was |
I made a quick python script to parse a device tree for “compatible” strings and turn them into required modules. Putting all the hardware support into the initrd is a bit of a blunt method, but it does mean no difficult debugging if critical peripherals don’t work. I‘m assuming there’s enough free space here that precision isn’t important. |
And pretty much required if you were to set yourself up with a pre-built generic system image. I believe this is a tool that is going to be helpful, as even if it doesn't end up required for end-users in the future, it's pretty good to be able to detect the modules and do something. I'm thinking e.g. automatically enabling kernel options. Can you package it up either in Nixpkgs or in this overlay? I guess this overlay is fine for now if you don't think it's Nixpkgs material. I don't know if it should be part of the default |

Hi! We just had some major~ish changes, at least one affecting new ports. I would heavily suggest rebasing on top of the latest master update. The main change affecting ports is that we now have required kernel configuration options, which set known good values to a lot of "difficult to guess" options. A simple Hope this helps! Though uh... This port is a bit old, don't worry if it gets hard to rebase, you could always ping me if you need help going forward. |

1. device: other mainline
This is a minimal configuration that allows booting and should serve as a starting point for anyone looking to work on this device. There are a few problems that still need resolving, but I don't believe that anything here is incorrect.
The display sometimes freezes with
msm fd900000.mdss: pp done time out, lm=0. There was a proposed patch but applying it only seemed to help a little. See also postmarketOS/pmaports#51.I did not add any peripheral firmwares.
