Aside from this, I've also used unpack_bootimg.pyto unpack the boot.img. That one has a perfectly normal ARM64 kernel image, but diffoscope still shows a large diff when comparing two builds of the same boot.img.unpacked/kernel. Do I need to preprocess this kernel image somehow before comparing? Not sure if I need to strip signatures from the image or how to do this, by the way.

The pVM firmware (pvmfw) is the first code executed by a pVM, similar to the boot ROM of a physical device.
| 21:18:52 |
| @samueldr:matrix.org | so it's definitely not a linux kernel | 21:19:09 |
| @jack:unredacted.org | Yes, maybe unpack_bootimg.py isn't prepared to handle it, so it just considers whatever is in the supposed kernel position on the file.

 oak 🏳️🌈♥️ | I got a little forward by creating the FHS env, but I still can't completely run the mk-vendor-file.py for new Chromium version, now I get same errors I think it tries to pull some Google internal stuff they use for building ChromeOS and Chrome | 20:40:12 |
| 26 Nov 2024 |
| @jack:unredacted.org | Apparently there is some tools I can build to handle pvmfw stuff: m pvmfw-tool pvmfw_bin

| oak 🏳️🌈♥️ | Actually it looks like there could be some useful stuff in how nixpkgs packages chromium | 03:04:42 |

 Atemu | Ideally we'd have a little pkgs.chromium.override { withAndroid = true; withWebview = true; } and it'd spit out an APK | 11:23:36 |
| Atemu | You could ask the upstream maintainers whether they'd accept you building in support for that | 11:24:05 |

| Atemu | Okay so today after applying an update fingerprints were gone again but I didn't apply Magisk | 10:40:34 |
| Atemu | I made sure to let it finish its update process | 10:40:43 |
