The ARM saga: part 1

+

Progress update and guide

+
+

Turns out in the time I was looking away, 1) the Elitebook + got added to the mainline kernel (somewhere in the 6.16 release + candidates), and 2) Ubuntu released an updated Snapdragon + Concept image - and not just that, I managed to find new + builds. Unfortunately, the version of Ubuntu I tested + doesn't support it yet, but it's a good start.

+

To work around this though, you can just add in the Elitebook + device tree manually (I stole borrowed it from the + postmarketOS package linux-postmarketos-qcom-sm7635 + and copied it to the drive), then updated the grub config + file:

+ 
  regexp "HP EliteBook Ultra G1q 14.*" "$system_product_name"
+  if [ $? == 0 ]; then
+    cmdline="clk_ignore_unused pd_ignore_unused cma=128M"
+    dtb="devicetree /casper/dtbs/x1e80100-hp-elitebook-ultra-g1q.dtb"
+  fi
+

I'm still gonna give Ubuntu flak for making new builds + without actually changing anything meaningful, though. At this + point, the mainline kernel has had better compatibility for over + a month.

+

What's broken

+

Out of some quick testing, these things were still + broken:

+ +

Based off the Postmarket OS page for the ASUS + Vivobook S 15, I wouldn't be surprised if video hardware + encoding/decoding was broken too.

+

But for the most part, it's working as far as I've seen - at + least, not crashing. There's certainly some errors in + journalctl, ones that I might not report because + Ubuntu's bug reporting is horrible, but it works.
