HTC Nexus One (htc-passion)

From postmarketOS Wiki
Icon WARNING: This device is not recommended for future use with postmarketOS due to its armhf architecture. Alpine Linux (the distribution that postmarketOS extends) pmaports#599 has been considering dropping it.
Note This device is still running on armhf, although the processor supports armv7. If you own it, change it and test it that way.

While powering on, hold trackball plus volume-up.

Port Status

Code is at https://github.com/scintill/pmbootstrap/tree/device/htc-passion .

Code should be cleaned up. Notably, I backported gcc 4 because the kernel compiled with gcc 6 doesn't boot. It's a bit Frankensteinish and not ideal, so it would be good to figure out how to get it working with gcc 6.
