That is my dev fork of adventurein9's A64 kernel to add
Pinephone support to his A64-LTS kernel. I'm having a hard
time finding time to work on it, but that's the most current
version other than local development flailing around with the
DE trying to debug why I can only get it to show a white screen.
Pinephone patches are welcome. I can probably find time to
apply / test any that anyone sends me.
The current status is:
- booting - works (done by adventuresin9), but the original kernel predates
9front having a generic arm64 kernel and should be refactored to use
that
- sdMMC/eMMC - should mostly work. Hasn't been rigorously tested.
- backlight - works, but /dev/brightness should be rewritten to
be a /dev/light consistent with the MNT Reform
- display - currently a giant mess based off of:
https://lupyuen.github.io/articles/dsi#appendix-sequence-of-steps-for-pinephone-display-driver
and needs to be refactored once I (or anyone) gets it to work
- most other drivers - audio, usb, touch panel, gps, wifi, modem, buttons,
accelerometer/gyroscope, etc need to be written.
