None of the above matters until you can get it booting it to Linux, all wireless options (bluetooth, wifi, sim/data) are irrelevant until you get it booting to a userspace wher you can bring any of that up. I'm not sure any of the exynos8 kernel stuff is even upstream yet, unfortunately unless you know quite a bit about low level kernel and boot debug I don't think you're going to have a lot of luck. > On Wed, Oct 10, 2018, 2:53 PM Peter Robinson <pbrobinson@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: >> >> > I have read a lot of posts about this but still get nowhere.
