LG G Watch (lg-dory)
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. |
This device is still running on armhf, although the processor supports armv7. If you own it, change it and test it that way. |

Additional info
Entering "Fastboot mode"
Turn on your watch and swipe from the top left corner (so that'd be where 11 would be on the watch) as soon as you see the LG logo.
Flash system image
It's important to remember to flash the system image to `userdata` as the system partition is not big enough for PostmarketOS.
pmbootstrap flasher flash_rootfs --partition userdata
Accelerometer
Enable the accelerometer with echo 1 > /sys/bus/i2c/drivers/lis3dsh_acc/4-001e/enable_device
Read accelerometer measurements with evtest /dev/input/event1
