Sony Ericsson Live With Walkman (sony-coconut)

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.

What works

The device does boot fine. SSH via USB is available. The display and touchscreen work.

What does not work

Other features not mentioned are untested.

How to enter flash mode

With the device powered off, hold the "volume up" button while connecting the USB cable. The LED should turn blue.

Installation

Due to the insufficent capacity of the internal memory, the rootfs image must be installed on an microSD card. It is suggested to install using the netcat method, using as target device the entire microSD card (/dev/mmcblk0).
