h2. Benefits of using Upstream Linux
10 2 Denis 'GNUtoo' Carikli
11 11 Denis 'GNUtoo' Carikli
Currently, Replicant uses device specific Hardware Abstraction Layers, because device manufacturers implemented non-standard kernel interfaces. However, Android works with upstream kernels and supports plug-n-play hardware nowadays, so it makes sense to have generic Hardware Abstraction Layers for the standard interfaces of the Linux kernel (ALSA, V4L2, etc).
12 2 Denis 'GNUtoo' Carikli
13
Benefits:
14
* It would allow supporting external WiFi dongles such as the ones supported by the ath9k_htc driver and free firmwares without the need for a specific application or configuration.
15 46 Denis 'GNUtoo' Carikli
* It would make devices last longer by alleviating the device specific maintenance burden: If LineageOS stops supporting a Replicant supported device, Replicant would need to maintain it by its own. This would require a lot of work, unless the device is already supported the upstream Linux kernel and generic hardware abstractions layers. This would also enable Replicant to support devices that are not currently supported by LineageOS with a lot less work.
16 11 Denis 'GNUtoo' Carikli
* It would enable the support for devices that are or will be added to upstream Linux.
17 2 Denis 'GNUtoo' Carikli
18 22 Denis 'GNUtoo' Carikli
As GNU/Linux expects standard kernel interfaces, this would also enable to run GNU/Linux out of the box on such devices.
19
This has some interesting outcomes:
20 46 Denis 'GNUtoo' Carikli
* The device specific work could be shared between GNU/Linux communities and Replicant communities. This could result in less work to do to support individual devices. Since Android libraries depends on Android's libc, non-standard proprietary libraries might be harder to reuse than the free software implementations, so we might get even more collaboration thanks to that.
21
* It would enable GNU/Linux distributions to more easily support smartphones and tablets, which would hopefully enable FSDG distributions to be able to focus on usability instead of hardware support. This way, if one day Android devices stop using the Linux kernel, stops being free software, or if the code takes directions that are too much problematic, already having GNU/Linux based Android alternatives would reduce the amount of work needed to be able to get again a fully free software distribution for smartphones and tablets.
22 23 Denis 'GNUtoo' Carikli
* Older devices with less amount of RAM than Replicant current minimum requirements could be used with GNU/Linux and possibly repurposed for other usages, reducing the amount of electronic devices waste.
23 22 Denis 'GNUtoo' Carikli

h2. Requirements
25
26 11 Denis 'GNUtoo' Carikli
* For the other standard interfaces (like ASLA, etc) a device running a upstream Linux Kenrel with as few patches as possible is required.

h2. Devices
29
30 5 Denis 'GNUtoo' Carikli
It is best to use a device that requires the least amount of work to be functional under Replicant.
31
More precisely we want to minimize:
32 11 Denis 'GNUtoo' Carikli
* The work needed to have the device usable with upstream Linux.
33 5 Denis 'GNUtoo' Carikli
* The work porting or writing Android hardware abstractions layers.
34
35
To achieve that we can choose a device that:
36
* requires no or very minimal work to be fully supported by Linux.
37
* have less hardware features (so we don't need to support them in Linux and in the HALs).
38
* is easy to buy, so the work can be shared among multiple people.
39 53 Denis 'GNUtoo' Carikli
* doesn't have more freedom flaws than the devices currently supported by Replicant
40 5 Denis 'GNUtoo' Carikli
41 54 Denis 'GNUtoo' Carikli
It is also a good idea to keep one image per device at first, as trying to make a single image that
42 55 Denis 'GNUtoo' Carikli
would work on all ARM device supported by upstream Linux is complicated: Even GNU/Linux
43
distributions have a hard time doing that for ARM devices.

Bootloader freedom issues:
66
* The bootrom is setup to enforce signatures. It will load a first stage bootloader called 'BL1', which is signed by Samsung.
67
* The BL1 that was shipped on Exynos4412 smartphones and tablets required that Samsung's proprietary s-boot be run as BL2.
68 110 Denis 'GNUtoo' Carikli
* By using BL1 images that were signed by Samsung, but shipped on other Exynos 4412 devices (like dev boards), we now can now use whatever we want after that.
69
* "u-boot":https://github.com/fourkbomb/u-boot was "ported to run after Samsung proprietary BL1":https://blog.forkwhiletrue.me/posts/u-boot-on-galaxy-s3/ . This allows us to remove TrustZone or impliment a libre version of it. The kernels shipped by Replicant are compiled without CONFIG_ARM_TRUSTZONE, so it can work with u-boot but for some reason the display will not work  | Good fit: Only the modem, touch keys, and small parts are missing upstream but are available as patches on top of it |

71
| Tablet | Samsung | Galaxy Note 8.0 (N51XX) | | The platform is kona, not midas, but it might be fairly easy to port to mainline since it uses the same SoC, same fuelgauge, same audio, same radio chip, and maybe other parts apart from LCD and touchscreen as the i9300 and n7100| If the work done on the i9300 and n7100 bootloader was able to be ported to another SoC, as was done with the i9000, it likely will be easy to port mainline u-boot to this device, which has the same SoC. |

h3. Allwinner devices
120 13 Denis 'GNUtoo' Carikli
121
Devices with Allwinner SOCs are an interesting targets because:
122
* Many of them do not use signed bootloaders.
123
* Many of the SOCs and various devices using them have good Linux and u-boot mainline support
124
125
For instance the Lime 2 from Olimex is pretty well supported and is easy to find.
126
However this device is a single board computer and, as such it doesn't have the have the usual peripherals that are commonly found in tablets and smartphones. This makes a port on this device less relevant and less useful.
127
128
Some research is needed to identify which devices are easiest to work with. Tablets that don't have a modem seem to be better than smartphones, as supporting the modem would require to have it supported in Linux and the userspace libraries. This might even require to write and upstream a Linux driver for the modem.
129
130
A good tablet for this task should have:
131
* A SOC that has good mainline support, see "the Linux mainlining effort page on linux-sunxi":https://linux-sunxi.org/Linux_mainlining_effort for more details.
132
* A Free software bootloader, or the ability to easily add support for the tablet to a free software bootloader.
133
* The ability to power and use an USB WiFi card or chip that is compatible with the ath9k_htc driver.
134
135
It would also be better if the chosen tablet doesn't use an AllWinner SOC with a PowerVR GPU, as MALI GPU have more probability to be usable with free software in the future.
