How to enter flash mode

Flash mode is entered by holding the power and the volume down key together when the device is off.

Installation

To install on a device run the following commands:

pmbootstrap install

pmbootstrap flasher flash_rootfs --partition userdata

Screen

Screen works partially. While displaying the UI works fine, adjusting the brightness doesn't work.

Flash LED

Currently WIP. It can be controlled with SG Micro SGM3140 charge pump LED driver[1].

Accelerometer

lis2hh12 accelerometer is not so stable for auto screen rotation, which suggests you to use fixed portrait or landscape mode.
