Nokia N9 (nokia-n9)
 |
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. |

How to enter flash mode
This device is pretty similar to Nokia N950, with minor differences in kernel. Bootloader has same problems. See https://elinux.org/N950
Kernel can be started without flashing, using:
$ sudo /data/l/maemo/0xffff/src/0xFFFF -m kernel:vmlinuz-nokia-n9-dtb -m initfs:initramfs-nokia-n9 -l -b
Note that attempt to pass command line arguments will result in kernel not booting on some devices, and that by booting custom kernel you get permanent boot slowdown with "you have modified your system" message.
Notes
Installation
Might be possible using Nemo flashing image.
