Basic knowledge about Linux, Git, C, Device Trees.

(Downstream) Linux kernel source for your device (explaining ways to mainline without kernel source is out of scope for this article).

UART if possible (with a bit of luck you may get USB working without UART).

It contains shared dependencies and configuration files. The shared device package in postmarketOS. The real boot partition used by lk2nd is then placed with a small offset into the boot partition. It is packed into a standard Android boot image and loaded by the stock bootloader from the boot partition. Note: lk2nd does not replace your stock bootloader. Porting it is generally much easier than porting mainline. It is therefore recommended for all mainline MSM8916 devices.

Eventually, more quirks may be added in the future.

to set a WiFi/BT MAC address in the device tree without lk2nd, WiFi/BT does not work out of the box). It also used for a number of mainline quirks (e.g. It provides a standard Fastboot interface (even on Samsung devices!). Lk2nd is a fork of the reference bootloader with the goal to provide a unified boot interface on all MSM8916 devices. On Samsung devices for example, the standard Fastboot interface was replaced by their proprietary download mode. Most devices will use this bootloader in a more or less modified form. The reference bootloader provided by Qualcomm for MSM8916 is open-source and based on Little Kernel (LK). Patches in the master branch are generally in good shape unless marked otherwise. The close-to-mainline Linux kernel fork with patches that have not been accepted/submitted upstream yet. The following components are involved when running mainline on MSM8916 devices. The first MSM8916 devices using mainline were added in pmaports!582. With a bit of luck, some will be already supported by mainline, others won't. Modem (SMS, voice calls with audio, mobile data)Ĭertain components (e.g.GPU, Display ( Note: There are many different display panels and each needs a custom panel driver.).Internal/External Storage ( eMMC/ SD card).The following features provided by the MSM8916 SoC are supported in mainline and should work on most MSM8916-based devices after the device tree has been set up:
