Hi,
a year ago, I briefly looked at this, but didn't make much progress. The
problem AFAIR was that there was almost no Open Source support for the
MediaTek chipsets. That made porting very hard; not to mention building
from the b2g repositories.
The situation is a bit better now since the Android one devices are Mtk
based. The kernel for instance is available at

At XDA Conf last month, MTK had a spokesperson talking about all the
improvements they're trying to make to be more open source
friendly/compliant. They're still early in that process but committed to
a more open future and working with the XDA and other communities to
grow open source participation in MTK chipset devices. I think they
understand that they have a bad reputation in this area and have
realized they need to change.
