Project Description

Qualcomm concentrate on supporting recent SOC, older ones aren't supported (use very old downstream kernel, e.g. 3.10).

Goal for this Hackweek

1. Boot mainline kernel to initramfs

I managed to boot mainline kernel (5.9.0-rc1 at the time) on msm89xx on my phone, but kernel crashes. Find why.
