Linux 7.0 has now been tagged, coming with 19 commits upstreamed from the Librem 5 tree - two by NXP and the rest by yours truly on behalf of @purism. Three more are already queued for 7.1.

While the mainline kernel still can't drive the display without extra patches, it's very close now 👀

On a bit of a streak today 🔥

Work in progress, but already a big milestone: the camera sensor on my SHIFT6MQ is up and running 📷

Still a lot to refine, but seeing the first photo come through feels great. Sharing the very first shot taken on mainline Linux with it 👇

First picture from the dual front-facing IMX355 sensors on #Pixel3 📸

Both lenses are now alive under mainline Linux — standard + wide, just like Google intended. Still early bring-up, but seeing real images come through makes it very real.

AAEON UP Squared Series Gains Mainline Linux Support for 40-Pin GPIO in Linux 6.18

I'm a bit desperate T_T

I'm working on getting #mainline #Linux to work on my Galaxy A71 ( #A715F ) and currently stuck getting the I2C to work where my touchscreen is connected to. The driver's using #qcom #gpi dma to communicate but I'm getting timeouts.

Does anyone (that reaches this) knows what the issue might be or how to best investigate what the cause is?

I am thrilled to be back at FOSDEM. It is a fantastic opportunity to meet with the open source community and connect with fellow developers at such a great conference!

Please join me this Saturday in the FOSS on Mobile devroom. I will be presenting the technical evolution of the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3, demonstrating how we achieved full mainline support—from power management to the Adreno GPU—running on actual product hardware.

I look forward to seeing you there.

Finally managed to get proper serial access to u-boot on my Samsung A5 (a5y17lte) using https://github.com/dsankouski/u-boot/tree/a5y17lte/board/samsung/axy17lte

I did have to break open my last a5y17lte and add lines to the internal serial port to check as it was very hard to get it working blind.

I've actually not done anything particularly special just reused other people's work but getting my head around it was a challenge. I'll publish an image file for others if they wanted to try it out (I appreciate the a5y17lte hacking club membership currently stands at 1).
