There's mainlining work being done for this device by [[User:knuxfanwin8|knuxify]]; currently it can boot to the initramfs, but lots of stuff is still broken. See [https://github.com/knuxdroid/baffinlite-mainline/issues/1 the current mainlining progress issue on the WIP mainline kernel repository].

The mainline kernel is not packaged in pmOS yet, but will be once the most important issues are resolved.

How to enter flash mode

  • Recovery: Power+VolUp
  • Download/Odin: Power+VolDown+Home

Installing

Follow the Installation guide. To flash to the device, boot into Download/Odin mode by holding the Volume Down + Home buttons while powering on the device, then run the pmbootstrap flasher commands to flash.

Notes

The device freezes under heavy load (such as installing certain apps through apk).

Audio works for a split second and then crashes.

Serial

This device uses the microUSB carkit debug cable, and works with 150K and 619K resistors.

By default, there's no bootloader log output; you need to mash the Enter key before "!" appears, then type "log", then reset. You should now be able to see the full bootloader logs. (See also: Samsung Galaxy Core Plus (samsung-cs02))

Mainline status

There's mainlining work being done for this device by knuxify; currently it can boot to the initramfs, but lots of stuff is still broken. See the current mainlining progress issues. The mainline kernel is not packaged in pmOS yet, but will be once the most important issues are resolved.

Chipset BCM23550 P DTS in mainline. All 4 cores work, but frequency is stuck at bootloader settings. USB does not work. Suspend does not work.
Graphics Videocore IV P Videocore IV is supported in mainline, but there is no DRM driver for the Kona framebuffer. Managed to get working graphics with simple-framebuffer.

Display HX8369, SC7798 N HX8369 is in mainline, SC7798 is not in mainline. HX8369 is definitely used on the single-sim models, whether the SC7798 is used anywhere is unclear.
Camera Samsung S5K4ECGX (rear) and DB HiTek DB8V61M (front) N s5k4ecgx was in mainline but got dropped, db8v61m is only in Broadcom downstream.
