Hi!
So I got it to work; here are my notes from debugging. I put them on https://elinux.org/N950 , too.
If someone knows how to fix the backlight, it would still be useful.
Best regards, Pavel
Run your kernels with something like:
# power off your phone sudo ../maemo/0xffff/src/0xFFFF -l -m kernel:arch/arm/boot/$IMG -b # plug in the phone. Your usually get an error here:
Waiting for ASIC ID... Error: Invalid size of ASIC ID Error: Reading ASIC ID failed Error: No device detected ^C
Hit ^c, and restart 0xFFFF. You should get
Sending image... 100% [#################################################################] Done
now.
You should get /!\ Warning! screen now. Some bootloader versions way for ~10 seconds, some don't. Some bootloader versions power off immediately if you attempt to supply command line arguments.
Watch the screen. It will go dark. If it blinks, it is a good sign. You may want to check with flashlight, maybe there's almost invisible text there.
Ignore the notification LED. It seems to blink even without kernel involvement.
Keyboard "debug enabled" LED can be used for debugging.
