Mainline
According to Documentation/arm/marvell.rst
the PXA1908 chipset should be supported, but it is unknown whether it's actually supported.
Downstream
It's possible to compile the Samsung-provided downstream kernel with some config changes (arch/arm64/configs/pxa1908_coreprimevelte_eur_defconfig
should be used as a defconfig):
CONFIG_CRYPTO_XTS
should be set, and CONFIG_ANDROID_PARANOID_NETWORK
should be unset. These are required by postmarketOS.
CONFIG_OPTIMIZE_FOR_SIZE
should be set, or the boot image will be too big for the partition.
The concatenated dtb blob should be generated with https://github.com/osm0sis/pxa-mkbootimg, because the G361F's chipset is a bit different.
Booting
The SM-G361F uses the Marvell PXA1908 chipset, which is, while really similar to Qualcomm ones, has some differences. It has a bit different way to specify the revision in DTB files, therefore the dtbTool from https://github.com/osm0sis/pxa-mkbootimg should be used. This is the same with mkbootimg. Additionally, SEANDROIDENFORCE
should be appended to the bootimage, in order to silence the "KERNEL IS NOT SEANDROID ENFORCING" warning.
The postmarketOS kernel does not boot on the device at the moment. It was assumed that this was because the kernel did not like the latest GCC, but attempting to compile with GCC 4 proved that this was not the case. This issue has yet to be properly investigated.
