Ugh. Why does time have to be linear? I want to do 10 different projects at once but only have time for one!

aka: Wanting to port Void Linux to mobile and also work on mt6765 kernel support.

The MediaTek mt6765 page (which mt6762 is compatible with) has been given a overhaul by the amazing adomerle. Now it states every feature of the SOC, the drivers, and the progress to get them mainlined.

postmarketOS's pmbootstrap has spoiled me. Going to work on a Mobile NixOS port and having to manually setup a package and such is a completely different workflow, with most of the workflow having been handled for me under postmarketOS.

Is there a tool like pmbootstrap for Mobile NixOS? If not, I have my next project.

Since mt6762 mainlining is stalled until we can get another device to get logs from I am going to try and package the flashing tool MTKClient in nix.

Compiling a Linux kernel with mt6762 support right now. :blobcat_praise: It is very limited in scope for now. (Just the clocks, pin control, and basic SOC drivers are added.) Hopefully this is enough to initialize the SOC so I can begin mainlining. :blobcatroll:

New post is up on the lowendlibre blog! 🎉 This time it is the story of how I ported postmarketOS to the TCL A3. (SPOILER ALERT: It was very annoying.)

The lowendlibre project now has a blog! I will try and write update posts and new discoveries we have made along the way of porting devices.

I just wanted to get the word out about a cool new project @hexaheximal and I have been working on.

lowendlibre! 🎉🎉

It is a project focused on bringing the developing Mobile Linux ecosystem to devices under $100. The main distros we are going to focus on are and , but per-device support of other distros is also considered. If you are interested in supporting this project, we have a Matrix space at :matrix.org.
