Hopefully there are process guidance documents on the docs website.

@kuailexs I suspect that several of your questions are answered in the documentation: https://docs.ubports.com/en/latest/porting

@Moem There are no answers to these questions.

If you want to submit the relevant new port repository code to the ubports organization. There's no introduction to this

I have started working on an extensive update of the UBports porting guide. I posted the first version to a select few more than a week ago and now shared an updated version in the porting channel on Telegram. So far, no feedback. It needs scrutiny from experienced devs specifically, but also from novices. What is the best way to do this? Note: I have gained experience using AI tools and am using these for this task. This makes it even more important to get feedback from people with more experience than myself.

Hi @kuailexs For device info on the devices website see: https://devices.ubuntu-touch.io/about/device-file/ , you'll find the file format and templates.

I don't know about adding repositories for a new device. I'd try asking in the porting group on Telegram.
