Modem
Tested with ModemManager. You might need to tweak the timeout in /etc/conf.d/msm-modem-uim-selection to get the UIM to initialize.
Mainline
This device is supported by the msm8916-mainline kernel.
lk2nd works, see the Installation section below.
Installation
Install the lk2nd-msm8909 from releases page into the boot partition. After that, you can use pmbootstrap flasher commands to flash postmarketOS via the fastboot interface provided by lk2nd.
Screen
Screen doesn't work for some reason in kernels 6.11 and higher. So if one wants to use this device normally, they should use pmOS 24.06 or earlier.
Keyboard
Keyboard works, keypad buttons are assigned to respective keycodes. However, writer of this section doesn't know any user/kernel space software for the such type of keyboard.
