@k900:0upti.meK900 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
@k900:0upti.meK900But you could pick it up15:26:50
@lotte:chir.rsLotte (it/its)/Cinny (she/her) θΔ&Like at a minimum all of the display stuff wouldn't work15:27:19
@k900:0upti.meK900Well you'd have to port that if there's no mainline compatible tree yesn15:27:51
@k900:0upti.meK900 * 15:27:55
@lotte:chir.rsLotte (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 address15:29:02
@lotte:chir.rsLotte (it/its)/Cinny (she/her) θΔ& tbh i could try to run the sony dts but that supposedly doesn’t work 15:29:15
@k900:0upti.meK900 I'm guessing it's just using whatever dumb framebuffer set up by the earlier boot stages then 15:31:32
@k900:0upti.meK900 And not doing GPU stuff correctly 15:31:38
@k900:0upti.meK900 Which will also make the experience of actually using the thing significantly worse 15:31:50
@lotte:chir.rsLotte (it/its)/Cinny (she/her) θΔ&ah15:32:20
@lotte:chir.rsLotte (it/its)/Cinny (she/her) θΔ&so the downstream kernel might be better?15:32:28
@lotte:chir.rsLotte (it/its)/Cinny (she/her) θΔ&it’s not yet EOL :D barely15:34:13
