This updates the current commit and refactor APKBUILD to
more modern way of writing downstream kernels. Also move to main/ to fit
other linux-postmarketos-* kernels.
Right now the "bq-picmt" device port is quite confusing.
It's actually for the same device as "bq-paella", which is in community
and uses the mainline kernel, except that it uses the downstream kernel.
Having the downstream kernel packaged is useful for testing sometimes,
but otherwise the device package is completely unsupported.
The mainline port works much better. The downstream port should only
be used if you know what you are doing (e.g. because you want to test
if something is working on downstream but not mainline) and therefore
it should not show up in "pmbootstrap init" by default.
Move the device package to unmaintained to implement that.
Also, add an "# Unmaintained: ..." comment that will be displayed
in "pmbootstrap init" if the device is selected anyway.
This is required by some software, e.g. bluez/gnome to set some ACLs on
/dev/rfkill (see #904). While probably nobody will notice on the
downstream kernels (as we don't have any proper software there anyways)
it's definitely needed on mainline-ish kernels. Surprisingly only one
kernel has broken by enabling this option (linux-sony-tulip) which I've
patched up.
linux-postmarketos-qcom-sdm660 did not break by enabling this option,
but required linux4.17-gcc10-extern_YYLOC_global_declaration.patch to
build again, so this was fixed too.

This is a generic package for devices which use x86_64 CPU and 32-bit
EFI. Most distributions don't provide installation for 32-bit EFI, so
installation is not user-friendly.
Actually, these tablets deserve device-specific packages (I am going to
make ones for ASUS VivoTab Note 8 and ASUS Transformer Book T100TA), but
this one includes basic functions and can be booted on any 32-bit EFI
tablet with disabled secure boot and missing device-specific package.
I guess 32-bit EFI with 64-bit CPU is Intel's "feature" and AMD doesn't
have such stuff, so this package will be installed only on devices with
Intel CPU, unlike device-tablet-x64uefi which can be installed on any
x86_64 PC. So i decided to enable some Intel specific things (userspace
GPU stuff and alsa-ucm-conf).
I used for reference device-tablet-x64uefi and
device-trekstor-surftabduow1 packages. This package also can be used as
a reference for device-specific ones.
Added support for Motorola Moto E 2014 codename: condor
It is booting, has usb, battery, flashing needs special fastboot command for the boot partition
Port based on an unofficial LineageOS port
from https://www.los-legacy.de/17.1/zerofltexx, using kernel from https://github.com/Exynos7420/android_kernel_samsung_exynos7420/
What works:
- Kernel boots
- Display and touch input (tested with Weston)
- USB networking
Note: I removed camera support in kernel config for now, as there were related kernel crashes.
Wifi doesn't work either yet because the firmware dependencies/paths need to be fixed first.
The modprobe.conf is not necessary on those devices because they already
load the panel module using deviceinfo_modules_initfs. Let's skip the
modprobe.conf in that case so we don't need to add all panels in two places.
Simply disabling FIMC IS does not work however due to compilation
errors and a null pointer dereference. 01-fix-FIMC-IS-disabling.patch
takes care of this.
As with other exynos devices some additional things had to be disabled
to make the kernel compile after FIMC IS had been disabled,
specifically:
CONFIG_CAMERA_EEPROM
CONFIG_VIDEO_EXYNOS_MIPI_CSIS
CONFIG_LEDS_MAX77803
Apart from that we also have:
02-netfilter-symbols.patch, which fixes another compilation error.
03-usb_gadget-set-random-rndis-host-MAC-address-to-prev.patch (taken
from another device) which prevents host mac address being set to
00:00:00:00:00.
Kernel sources have been changed to the lineage-16.0 branch in the
exynos5420 repo, as that is where development happens at the moment.
based off from lineage os, manages to boot including ssh over usb.
had to disable:
CONFIG_HTC_RADIO_SMEM
CONFIG_HTC_MODEM_NOTIFIER
CONFIG_MSM_SMP2P
CONFIG_UIO_MSM_SHAREDMEM
[ci:skip-build]: already built successfully in CI
Instead of running the entire setup_usb_network_configfs function we
run the parts that are actually necessary for
setup_usb_network_android to succeed when it is run afterwards.
USB networking, Touchscreen and display are working.
CONFIG_SND_SOC_QDSP6V2 is omitted from kernel config for now as the resulting driver fails to build.
