If one would like to learn and help with porting linux to mobile, were would one even start? Are there any porting for dumies resources? My closest interaction with any kernel so far has been `make menuconfig`.

@aanee What I'd recommend is to get an already working device and to find a component with available datasheet and missing functionality in its kernel driver. There should be plenty of such bite-sized low hanging fruits out there, which will let you gain enough experience to work on and debug more complex stuff with devices that aren't ported yet.

I don't know how a "porting for dummies" guide could even look like, this kind of stuff tends to be highly device-specific.
