What works

  • 3D Freedreno hardware acceleration
  • Flashing with pmbootstrap/fastboot
  • Upstream stable Kernel 4.11.12 + patches
  • Screen
  • Touchscreen input
  • USB Internet
  • WIFI Internet
  • X11 Hildon, Mate, Xfce, Xwayland-Weston
  • TWRP Recovery
  • PREEMPT_RT (not on by default)

What does not work yet

  • Audio
  • Hardware Video decoding
  • Bluetooth
  • Sensors
  • Camera

Issues

  • WIFI firmware sometimes does not load on boot. WIFI connection is very slow. You need to start WiFi#Start_WIFI_manually as the firmware loads late in the boot process.
sudo wpa_supplicant -u -Dnl80211 -B -c/etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf -iwlan0
sudo nmcli device wifi connect "ssd" password "pass" ifname wlan0

Other information

  • Flash the system to a userdata partition to have 10GB free space. If you don't see 10GB install TWRP recovery and format system/all partitions and start again:
./pmbootstrap.py flasher flash_rootfs --partition userdata
./pmbootstrap.py flasher flash_kernel
  • I would recommend installing and using MATE as it is very complete
  • To run Internet via USB see USB Internet
