I think it wants gcc6-aarch64 to build the kernel but
ccache: error: Could not find compiler "aarch64-alpine-linux-musl-gcc" in PATH(000224) [14:49:28] ERROR: Command failed: (buildroot_aarch64) % cd /home/pmos/build; busybox su pmos -c CARCH=aarch64 SUDO_APK='abuild-apk --no-progress' PATH=/native/usr/lib/crossdirect/aarch64:/usr/lib/ccache/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin HOME=/home/pmos abuild -D postmarketOS -r -fI have little idea how to lint and build locally without using Gitlab CI resources. Found
pmbootstrap linttoday.Trying to
pmbootstrap install --android-recovery-zipnow on my Gentoo laptop.UPD: yeah, it fails locally. Maybe I should disable ccache?

- 7990d5a9 - xiaomi-rolex: update patch checksums in kernel APKBUILD
By Denis Tolstov on 2021-01-31T20:30:10
- Resolved by Administrator
Good news is I succesfully compiled an image with pmOS edge aarch64 for
rolexwith 3.18.140 kernel. I happened to find the YYLOC patch which I copied from
santoni. However, now I guess I should symlink it rather than copy the actual file for future maintenance updates etc.I'm not very used to updating the APKBUILD checksums on every commit. Maybe there is a linter hook? There was one when I was developing in Alpine's aports.
Even better news is I remembered that the same Nick89786 released unofficial LineageOS-17.1
with 4.9.240 kernel. After slight Kconfig editing that one successfully compiled as well. Time will tell which one is better for pmOS/Alpine. I liked 4.9 more than 3.18 when running LOS.
The following patch changes kernel commit URI and the kconfig. rolex-upgrade-3.18.140-4.9.240-pmos.patch

- e5aeb6a3 - xiaomi-rolex: update deviceinfo checksum; replace common patch with a symlink

@minlexx I tried 4.9.240 kernel with minimally tweaked config (to satisfy
pmbootstrap kconfig check) and it isn't much better.Framebuffer only works with Weston
fbdev-backend.so, Xorg doesn't start due toFBDEV(0): FBIOPUT_VSCREENINFO: Invalid argument, neither does Wayland of Plasma Mobile.Maybe @danct12 can enlighten us as to what patches should be applied to downstream Rolex kernels regarding framebuffer support? I think I've seen red and blue swapped in pixelformat on my smartphone display. BTW,
echo 0 | sudo tee /sys/.../mdss-fb/brightnessturns off backlight entirely -- I'd like to set up a hook for the power button to turn off the display. As of now, when Weston times out, display continues to glow with a black framebuffer.Can I simply enable CONFIG_DRM and DEs would suddenly work? A kernel
-j4build takes 15min on my Ryzen 3 3200G, but almost 60min on Gitlab Runner pipelines. I wonder how they didn't time out.All in all, I'm not exactly satisfied with this port yet.
What works: Wi-Fi 802.11bgn, USB RNDIS, perhaps USB OTG, online charging (duh), touchscreen from Goodix, GPIO keys (libinput).
What doesn't work: audio (there are output devices but no sound), cellular modem (waiting for ofono/modemmanager support), Bluetooth (no hci0/phy device), GPS (untested), 2D and 3D graphic acceleration (no DRM), offline charging GUI (sdl crashes).

Maybe https://gitlab.com/postmarketOS/pmaports/-/blob/master/device/testing/linux-xiaomi-dior/0001-framebuffer-fixes.patch will give you some idea ?
x11-backend expect the following functions are filled :
+ .fb_fillrect = mdss_fb_fillrect, + .fb_copyarea = mdss_fb_copyarea, + .fb_imageblit = mdss_fb_imageblit, + + .fb_setcolreg = mdss_fb_setcolreg,And the order of color offset is correct
- var->blue.offset = 0; - var->green.offset = 8; - var->red.offset = 16; + var->blue.offset = 24; + var->green.offset = 16; + var->red.offset = 8;By Edwin Cheng on 2021-03-04T21:49:32
