Feb 17 18:14:26 pabs3: yes, the freed modem is awesome Feb 17 18:14:59 well, partially freed I suppose Feb 17 18:15:29 running postmarketOS on a modem, never thought I'd see the day Feb 17 18:33:21 wait, what? freed modem? Feb 17 18:33:59 ah, linux part, nevermind Feb 18 02:31:04 rah, bencoh: would be interesting to find out exactly what the proprietary bits did and what the new open bits do. probably similar to this: https://media.ccc.de/v/33c3-8151-dissecting_modern_3g_4g_cellular_modems Feb 18 02:35:17 mickeyl: no, there have been porting various distros to run on the application processor of phones for years now. perhaps you mean the modem. on the PinePhone there is the ARM application processor, running UI stuff on various distros, then there is the modem with two(?) processors, an ARM core running Linux and various services, and a Hexagon DSP, probably also running Linux (according to WikiPedia) that I assume does the radio stuff Feb 18 02:36:37 folks have been hacking into the ARM part of the modems for a while now, CCC talks about them have been around for many years **** ENDING LOGGING AT Thu Feb 18 02:59:56 2021
