Description

Upstream kernel DTS: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/next/linux-next.git/log/arch/arm/boot/dts/ste-ux500-samsung-golden.dts

Upstream U-Boot Config: https://gitlab.denx.de/u-boot/u-boot/-/blob/master/configs/stemmy_defconfig
U-Boot Readme: https://gitlab.denx.de/u-boot/u-boot/-/blob/master/board/ste/stemmy/README

Was discussed a bit in our forums here: https://redmine.replicant.us/boards/27/topics/39?r=15709

Has a removable battery and 1GB Ram.

We still need to determine if the NovaThor U8500 has a signed or unsigned bootloader and whether it has good modem isolation. This post suggested that it doesn't have good modem isolation: https://redmine.replicant.us/boards/27/topics/39?r=10155#message-10155
