Msm8916 Redmi 2 And Samsung Galaxy A5 Duos

29 Jan 2023 - Secondary Little Kernel

I wrote some lk2nd experiences at previous post. Xiaomi Redmi 2 (wt88047, wt86047) and Samsung Galaxy A5 Duos (sm-a53g) implements msm8916. Of course, I had to add dts in lk2nd for sm-a53g, wt88047 and wt86047 were there, other devs handle those. Because sm-a53g had the same architechure with sm-a5lte and sm-a5ulte. I found those there

/* qcom, msm-id */
qcom-id-msm8916 206 ← a5lte and a5ulte

qcom-id-apq8016 247

qcom-id-msm8216 248 ← this is a53g

qcom-id-msm8116 249

qcom-id-msm8616 250

...

This is SM-A5 variants
Samsung Galaxy A5 2015

In lk2nd, it had new dts with 248 mark in msm8216-samsung-r08.dts. When I finished those steps, it’ll easy to install pmOS(AlpineLinux), I followed this step and here. If I could ports my devices to run GNU/Linux, you can do it.
