Mainline

As of pmaports!4540 mainline is used by default when selecting the device in pmbootstrap. So far, there's only a DTS for rev02 (out of rev00 and rev01), but the rest seem to be identical with the difference that one pin is in a different pinctrl group.

An U-Boot port is planned.

Flashing

The device can be put in flashing mode by powering it on while pressing the POWER + HOME + VOLUME DOWN buttons simultaneously, and answering the appearing question by pressing VOLUME UP.

Flashing via recovery zip works.

UART

UART over the microUSB connector can be enabled by putting a 150k or 619k resistor between the ID and GND pins. The device TX will be on the D- pin, and RX will be on the D+ pin. A 619k will power on the device as soon as the UART cable is connected, while a 150K won't. Signal level is 1.8V.
