What works

• Kernel compilation (2.6.32.61)

What does not work

• Everything else

How to enter flash mode

• While holding Volume down, press and hold Power for 5-10 seconds. There are no visual cues when fastboot loads.

Recovery mode

• While holding Volume up, press and hold Power button until recovery options appear.

Installation

• Install system partition to SD card pmbootstrap install --sdcard=/dev/sd?
• Boot kernel using pmbootstrap flasher boot

Issues

• Current assumption is that CPU is not supported by armhf architecture, so it won't boot [1]
• boot.img that can be booted using fastboot boot command is the one from stock device image. CyanogenMod boot.img fails to boot, but works when flashed to device.
