That's kind of expected, but Marijn's defconfig is fine.

First of all, you're going to need to retrieve gpu firmware (530 pfp/pm4 and 508 ZAP) like I do here (please flash the latest ODM image from here to the oem partition [1] with fastboot) [2]. We are successfully booting Android but need multiple patches around, in particular to enable A508 in Mesa (basically find "case 510:" and add "case 508:" above it, like here [3]. For basic functionality, we're working on proper 508/509/512 support) and the android device trees aren't in the best state.. We're going to focus on these when other components are ready.
