uniLoader
This device has trouble booting mainline Linux because Samsung uses device tree fragments, and the combined device tree can disrupt the boot process.
To address this, we use a secondary bootloader called uniLoader, which we have specifically adapted for the Galaxy Tab S8.
Standard bootloaders are not supported. Only uniLoader will work here.
