The Snapdragon 670 is a mid-range SoC used in a few devices.

Devices

Device Codename Mainline
Google Pixel 3a google-sargo Y

Display

It is fairly easy to get a working display. See MSM8996_Mainlining#Simple_Framebuffer for details on how to do this. For full panel support (needed for backlight and 3D acceleration), there is a panel driver generator.

Regulators

The PM660 and PM660L power management ICs host most of the regulators. If you're copying regulators from other SoCs, keep in mind that SDM670 uses RPMh to communicate with the PMICs, while most other SoCs use the older RPM. The SDM670 regulators don't go in &rpm_requests, but &apps_rsc instead (and have qcom,pm660-rpmh-regulators and qcom,pm660l-rpmh-regulators compatible strings).

Disabling core components

Your device might not boot with the first dts you send it if you keep the core components enabled:

  • &tlmm - the pinctrl and gpio subsystems normally access all pins to read their state
  • &gcc - with clk_ignore_unused as a kernel command line option, this might turn on reserved clocks

Bluetooth

Bluetooth is available on uart6. Modem and WiFi are not required.

Feature table

Pinctrl

There is a pin control driver but it has no wakeirqs. There is also an LPI TLMM for audio with no mainline driver.

Storage

eMMC works but not UFS. Perhaps it will be added with an SDM710 device.

USB

There is currently only USB 2.0.

Video

Maybe video acceleration works. There is still bad userspace support for video (ffmpeg isn't even packaged in Alpine with v4l2 video acceleration).
