having trouble figuring what to do for porting
-
I'm trying to be the first one to port samsung galaxy tab a7 (gta4l) but I'm having trouble understanding this:
<project path="device/[manufacturer]/[device]" name="[repository name]" remote="[remote]" revision="[revision]" />
idk what to do with name,remote and revision
So can anyone help me?

@shadan are you using an old guide? I think you should use this instead:
https://docs.ubports.com/en/latest/porting/build_and_boot/standalone_kernel_build.html -
@faveoled I'm using the setting up the sources
https://docs.ubports.com/en/latest/porting/build_and_boot/H9_setup_sources.html
-
@faveoled was I supposed to use that?
-
@shadan looks like there are two ways - one involves compiling full halium source, and the one I suggested involves just compiling your own kernel. I'd prefer the latter as I'm a newbie to this
-
@faveoled oh,ok but just a question where am i supposed to make the deviceinfo file?
-
@shadan write it line-by-line, fill some data from unpackbootimg
-
@faveoled in /arch/arm64/configs??
-
@faveoled that's where kernel config is stored. deviceinfo is outside of sources directory
-
@faveoled oh,so do I put it at the root of the kernel source folder?
