@dperson @agx @dos @kyle is it much to ask for? Regardless of the expectation to always have freshest kernel versions? Sometimes yes, sometimes no. Depends on the choice for a device, whether Halium-based or mainline.

@GranPC @dos @kyle Could you maybe dump out as many datasheets, technical documentation, source code samples from the supplier as possible for the components so interested people can look into mainlining things?

@agx @dos @kyle unfortunately there isn't much we have in that regard. couple examples: a) the kernel we got didn't even have a commit history; b) we couldn't get the datasheet for the display panel.

I'm aware this isn't optimal, but perfect is the enemy of good & we had to start somewhere. if this goes well, we'll probably have better leverage in the future for that sort of stuff.

@GranPC @dos @kyle I sure wish you luck with your endeavor ! Looking forward to see some of these in the wild.

@GranPC @agx @dos @kyle A big question is what is the outlook for long term support in the form of kernel updates, and does VoLT work?

@BrianA @agx @dos @kyle kernel updates are technically feasible (all modules are open source) -- they'll be looked into when and if they show a tangible user-facing benefit (i.e. beyond "number is bigger"), or whenever we have enough free time for them, whichever comes first.

VoLTE is a work in progress and a rather high priority one at that. chances are we'll have it working in the coming 2-3 weeks.
