Val Packett 🧉Jan 28

#postmarketos #linuxmobile hello from the Moto G7 (river)! So far just the basics (eMMC, SD, WiFi, BT, display, touch, GPU, USB-C), almost modem, no audio or camera yet, and battery charger is missing for the platform for now. Coming soon to qcom-msm8953!

It's definitely more usable than nora (msm8917/2GB), at least I can actually scroll mastodon for a long time and read linked articles, but it's still reeeeeally slow UI wise. Somehow I expected more from the SDM632 —hey, it has perf cores, A73-based can't be that bad— but no, those suck too. Geekbench 6 single-core score is ~300, like the Pi 4, massively worse than the sc7180 (7c) and Pi 5 which score ~850. (But hey, msm8917 did 150 lol)

It runs #Xonotic! well, runs. Walks? xD actually "playable" at 720p but for fullscreen i only get portrait resolutions in #phosh even if i'm in landscape (maybe just needed to relaunch but oh well)

Current limit: 1.5A

Current: 3A ✅️
(lol that would result in more than 6-7W at 5V, so actually the limit seems to be working)

Voltage: 5.66V 😀 (very WIP drivers heh)

accidentally very cool text art courtesy of #freedreno a5xx glitches (is this a bit of raw #gtk glyph atlas texture?)

Achievement unlocked: receive SMS on a #postmarketOS mainline Linux phone! (last year's nugget had a carrier locked modem, this one doesn't so it just works)

Also the selfie camera works, thanks to a WIP driver by @z3ntu! (this moto has the same front camera as the Fairphone 3)

the audio setup on motorola-river is something else…

"use pmic gpio6 as 32k sleep clock output which connect to MCLK2 of marley codec" statements dreamed up by the absolutely deranged

function = "dtest3" is how the pin is set to generate a 32k clock??? wat?

For this weekend of #postmarketOS #linuxmobile #mainlining I have put together what I had for the Moto G7 into a coherent pull request to @barni2000's msm8953 branch. No exciting pictures since nothing visually changed :) just that you will be able to install it too very soon!
