Note Unfortunately this device doesn't have an FPU, so it doesn't work with Alpine's armhf architecture.
Warning WARNING: This device is not recommended for future use with postmarketOS due to its armhf architecture. Alpine Linux (the distribution that postmarketOS extends) pmaports#599 has been considering dropping it.
The processor of the device may support the armv7 architecture. If so, you can modify the device package and change the architecture accordingly.
This device is marked as not booting.
Status: Kernel compiles. But ARMv6 devices without FPU are not supported by Alpine's armhf
