# TBR - Deprecated Device Support (MF68E, M9S)
|
|
|
|
These files were removed from the main build but are kept here for reference.
|
|
They supported MiFi-style devices (MF68E, M9S) with displays, battery monitoring
|
|
and power button handling.
|
|
|
|
## How to re-integrate
|
|
|
|
### 1. Device definitions
|
|
|
|
Add the contents of `msm8916.mk.devices` to `msm89xx/image/msm8916.mk`,
|
|
before the `endif` line.
|
|
|
|
### 2. Kernel patches
|
|
|
|
Copy the patches back into `msm89xx/patches-6.12/`:
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
cp patches/802-arm64-dts-qcom-add-msm8916-generic-mf68e.patch ../msm89xx/patches-6.12/
|
|
cp patches/805-arm64-dts-qcom-add-msm8916-generic-m9s.patch ../msm89xx/patches-6.12/
|
|
cp patches/901-fbtft-fb_gc9107.patch ../msm89xx/patches-6.12/
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The `801-...patch.orig` only adds mf68e and m9s (UF02 is already handled
|
|
by the active `801` patch). Both patches touch different lines so they
|
|
apply cleanly one after another.
|
|
|
|
### 3. Packages
|
|
|
|
Move the packages back into the `packages/` directory:
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
cp -r packages/configs-mifi ../packages/
|
|
cp -r packages/router-display ../packages/
|
|
cp -r packages/fbtft-gc9107 ../packages/
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
These packages provide:
|
|
- **configs-mifi**: UCI defaults, LED hotplugs, battery monitoring, power button
|
|
handling, and a pre-built Tailscale APK for MiFi devices.
|
|
- **router-display**: SPI display manager (GC9107) with boot/shutdown logos and
|
|
status display for MF68E.
|
|
- **fbtft-gc9107**: Kernel module for the GC9107 framebuffer (SPI display).
|
|
|
|
### 4. Diffconfigs
|
|
|
|
Move `diffconfig_m9s` and `diffconfig_mf68e` back to the repository root.
|
|
|
|
### 5. CI/CD
|
|
|
|
Add `m9s` and `mf68e` back to the device matrix in `.github/workflows/build-all.yml`
|
|
and the choice options in `.github/workflows/build.yml`.
