Lotte (it/its)/Cinny (she/her) θΔ& | But the DTS for my device isn't upstream | 15:24:29 |
K900 | You can patch it in | 15:26:19 |
Lotte (it/its)/Cinny (she/her) θΔ& | I looked at the device tree for my device and it seems very different, referring to drivers that do not exist upstream | 15:26:47 |
K900 | There's a PR that allows quickly building out of tree DTS but it's bad and the person that wrote it ignores feedback | 15:26:50 |
K900 | But you could pick it up | 15:26:50 |
Lotte (it/its)/Cinny (she/her) θΔ& | Like at a minimum all of the display stuff wouldn't work | 15:27:19 |
K900 | Well you'd have to port that if there's no mainline compatible tree yesn | 15:27:51 |

Lotte (it/its)/Cinny (she/her) θΔ& | yeah i guess i have to reverse-engineer the firmware because at least on the sony device that i do not have and is supported upstream it just uses the framebuffer at a fixed address | 15:29:02 |
Lotte (it/its)/Cinny (she/her) θΔ& | tbh i could try to run the sony dts but that supposedly doesn’t work | 15:29:15 |
K900 | I'm guessing it's just using whatever dumb framebuffer set up by the earlier boot stages then | 15:31:32 |
K900 | And not doing GPU stuff correctly | 15:31:38 |
K900 | Which will also make the experience of actually using the thing significantly worse | 15:31:50 |
Lotte (it/its)/Cinny (she/her) θΔ& | ah | 15:32:20 |
