Installation
- Follow the Installation guide
Note: lk2nd is a hard dependency, without it the mainline kernel will not select the panel. |
$ pmbootstrap init # choose Vendor: qcom Device codename: msm8953
$ pmbootstrap install
$ pmbootstrap flasher flash_lk2nd
$ pmbootstrap flasher flash_rootfs
How to enter flash mode
- Stock Fastboot: Power on the device with both and buttons
- lk2nd Fastboot: Power on the device. After it vibrates, hold
Note: Pressing the keys too early will cause the stock bootloader to handle the key combination. You will end up in the wrong Fastboot interface. |
- Recovery: Power on the device with both and buttons

Speaker is not supported yet.
Parts
Modem
Modem works with ipa-lite since 6.7.0
Smart Speaker
To use the speaker, the device relies on:

Texas Instruments | tas2557 (some useful commits 1
2) Seems to be very similar to tas2559 |
Fingerprint
Two drivers are available within downstream kernel.
These are not supported yet in mainline kernel.

Touchscreen
Type | Vendor | Supported |

NT36672 can be enabled from lk2nd, manual build is needed. https://github.com/msm8916-mainline/lk2nd/blob/main/lk2nd/device/dts/msm8953/msm8953-xiaomi-vince.dts#L23-L47

touchscreen-compatible = "novatek,nt36672a-ts"; // since 6.15
touchscreen-compatible = "novatek,nt36525-i2c"; // below 6.15
On some devices (EBBG panel?), touchscreen lives on another I2C port and linux device tree has to be patched to make it work:

Serial UART
Getting UART output on this device should be pretty straightforward, because pins for serial transfer (TX and RX) are exposed directly on motherboard and are even labeled.
