@mntmn Is there any news on the QCS6490 Pocket Reform?

Semi-related, not sure you've heard of this but there's this upcoming SBC with the QCM6490 SoC (the Kickstarter is coming to a close soon) so I'm also hoping the software support will get a boost https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/particle-iot/tachyon-powerful-5g-single-board-computer-w-ai-accelerator

I'm happy to announce the availability of my new app "eSIM Manager" on postmarketOS! With it you can manage and install eSIMs on your phone running postmarketOS! No more need to boot into Android to do the same!

@mntmn

* QCS6490: The number of the SoC
* Yupik: Linux (HLOS) codename for the family of SoCs which includes QCS6490 but also QCM6490 (the variant with modem), SM7325, SC7280, etc
* SM7325: Snapdragon variant of this SoC for phones
* Snapdragon 7c+ Gen 3: Compute variant of this SoC for laptops
* Snapdragon 778G: Marketing name for SM7325 - see there.

There's also the codename "kodiak" which is present in non-HLOS sources (so e.g. bootloader, modem, etc) which generally equals Yupik

@mntmn Note that the different variants (QC*6490, SM7325, SC7280, SM7325-AE, SM7325-AF) all do have minor differences but they're generally limited to clock speeds or some minor difference in GPU, but 99% is the same, that's why in mainline Linux they're all supported under the "SC7280" name (that name just because it was the first from Yupik to be supported upstream, and upstream doesn't take the downstream codenames)

#FOSDEM 2024 will be happening in a bit more than 1 week in Brussels!

Catch my talk "From phone hardware to mobile Linux" on Saturday morning or "Open Source for Sustainable and Long lasting Phones" (together with @agnes007 in the big Janson room!) on Sunday afternoon!

Or come by the @postmarketOS (+friends) stand in the AW building!

I hope to see you there!

@mntmn I have to disagree 😁 Without devicetree the kernel has zero clue what hardware exists. Without CSS the HTML structure is still there, just not styled correctly. 😉

@mntmn If you're still around in the area I'd join for dinner if that's okay 😄
