What works

  • Device boots
  • Framebuffer graphics
  • Splashscreen
  • Weston
  • Touchscreen
  • Flashing the kernel and system image via fastboot

What doesn't work

  • Anything not mentioned (wifi, bluetooth, etc.)

Untested

  • Interfaces other than weston
  • Using full disk encryption

Installing

There appears to be no special process to flashing the device, as long as the bootloader is unlocked first

Once you're in fastboot by holding down vol down and power, flashing it is as follows:

$ pmbootstrap init
$ pmbootstrap install --no-fda
$ pmbootstrap flasher flash_system
$ pmbootstrap flasher boot

You can also use $ pmbootstrap flasher flash_kernel to flash the kernel, however this breaks the charging splash screen

Useful stuff

Similar to the Moto G 2014, the LED can be controlled:

$ echo 255 > /sys/devices/leds-qpnp-rgb-e1dba000/leds/white/brightness
