Jan 18 18:46:41 <L29Ah> how's the phone/modem driver in GNU/Linux?
Jan 18 18:47:26 <L29Ah> can i use Planet Gemini as a phone on Debian?
Jan 18 18:48:29 <TheKit> L29Ah, ofono is hooked to RIL daemon. Technically you can, but not very convenient one, though adam_b is working to improve that
Jan 18 18:49:18 <L29Ah> TheKit: do i get it right that it requires blobs from android?
Jan 18 18:49:23 <TheKit> yes
Jan 18 19:23:28 <adam_b> L29Ah: its nearly there, still a few more bits to fix (calls on debian)
Jan 18 19:30:27 <L29Ah> i'm actually interested in the open source implementation
Jan 18 19:31:10 <adam_b> well I just took the stuff from ubports and sailfish
Jan 18 20:35:52 <TheKit> L29Ah, for strictly open-source one, it is not theoretically impossible, but needs someone to understand kernel protocol and write driver for ofono
Jan 18 21:25:09 <grw> does anyone know if this kernel will work for gemini? seems this board uses same soc- https://github.com/hzy199411/linux-x20/tree/linux-x20-4.19
Jan 18 21:53:35 <adam_b> grw: thanks for the link, from a quick look at the commits it looks like a work in progress so probably of similar use to the other 4.x branches, needs someone to adopt and test it for our device, and probably needs quite a bit of work on it yet, I've added it to the wiki page
Jan 18 21:56:57 <TheKit> grw, from first look it is similar to state of support mainline has for Gemini (https://github.com/Jasu/gemini-pda-buildroot), but it seems he managed to enable mmc
Jan 18 21:57:10 <TheKit> wonder if mmc is actually working though
Jan 18 22:00:01 <TheKit> also he bases on android-4.19 for some reason
