New blog post up on the lowendlibre blog! This one details the progress on the mt6765 mainline kernel fork.

It seems in later updates for the TCL A3 (bangkok_tf), TCL decided to block access to BROM mode in production. Luckily, they also seem to have left an exploit to access fastboot in the build. πŸ˜‰

That means that, no matter the update, you should be able to get mainline Linux running on your TCL A3.

Finally got to test the new mt6765 patches on the TCL A3. We have an earlycon framebuffer online!

New mt6762 mainlining update! This one is a big one, so bear with me.

We now have the following working:
- postmarketOS rootfs
- USB
- 4 CPU Cores
- Haptics
- SD-Card
- PMIC Buttons (Hardware Buttons)
- Real Time Clock
- Thermal (Just not calibrated)
- i2c
- Backlight
- Flashlight
- Charger
- Framebuffer (simplefb causes a kernel panic, but we can still read logs)

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.

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.

So the mt6762 mainlining effort has hit a snag. Getting logs is going to be a pain because the device I am using doesn't seem to have open UART ports, framebuffer doesn't work, and USB doesn't work either. Without logs, we can't get the logs. Might try ramoops.

What is a fate worse than death? Adding a new SOC to the Linux kernel.

I have been trying to get the MediaTek mt6762 SOC integrated with the mainline kernel, but it just seems to either do nothing or the bootloader of my device refuses to boot the mainline kernel? (Probably a DTS issue.) Either way, this is a pain.

Oh! And did I tell you I don't know C? That's the best part...

Since my last update post on the TCL A3 I have made some good progress.

By progress I mean the downstream kernel is fatally flawed and my only choice now is to mainline.

... progress?

A year in the making, today we merged our new boot ! A fancy animation, some text allowing you to show off to your friends the kernel you run, it's all included!

Get it now while it's still fresh, "apk upgrade -a" on a edge installation and reboot
