amazon-austin: New device

Administrator requested to merge master into master
  • Amazon Fire 7 (2017) postmarketOS
  • Armv7l
  • Mediatek MT8127
  • Mali-450MP4
  • 600x1024 display
  • 1GB RAM
  • Linux 3.10.54

What seems to work:

  • Boot
  • Touch screen
  • Battery percentage
  • Usb internet
  • OTG usb
  • Wayland, Mate, Xfce4, Lxde, Sxmo, i3wm

Does NOT work:

  • Wifi & Bluetooth (no drivers)
  • GPU acceleration (drivers do not work)
  • Audio
  • Sleep and fully turning off the display
  • Screen rotation
  • Wifi adapter does not work even with drivers and kernel support, mobo issue(?)
  • FDE
  • Cameras
  • You tell me

Special options: *Must be flashed to USERDATA partition as system partition is too small

  • msm-fb-refresher must be installed when building rootfs for the display to refresh
  • After flashing the device must be booted into recovery once. From the recovery it is to be powered off and booted and then as normal. This is because the device depends on the AMONET exploit which is applied by twrp after every flash.
