Guidance for adding old qcom-based devices #180

Closed vknecht closed 2 years ago

vknecht commented 2 years ago

Hi ! I'd like using GloDroid for building recent Android for msm8916/msm8939 devices, (namely msm8916-alcatel-idol347 and msm8939-alcatel-idol3) which already have decent close-to-mainline kernel support for postmarketOS.

Where should they be added in the directory hierarchy ? device/qcom/alcatel-idol347/ or device/qcom/idol347/, or something else ?

What about potentially shared qcom-related configs ? I see device/linaro/dragonboard/ has some, which may be reused for some parts, but also things like rmtfs which don't have some mod I got in upstream. Should that be duplicated ?

Any tips how to set up kernel and what to use for HALs would be welcome since I only have limited knowledge of Android bringup (only rebuilt and tweaked old LOS port for them)...

Looks like no one here have experience with qualcomm.
