# Phase 1 Implementation: Hardware Access & Bootloader Research
## Current Status
Based on our research, we have comprehensive hardware specifications and bootloader analysis. Now we need to implement practical testing and development.
## Implementation Plan
### 1. Development Environment Setup
#### Required Tools
- **Cross-compilation toolchain** for ARMv7
- **QEMU** for ARM emulation
- **Buildroot** for minimal rootfs
- **Linux kernel source** (mainline + CAF patches)
- **Device tree compiler** (dtc)
- **Fastboot/ADB tools**
#### Setup Commands
```bash
# Install cross-compilation tools
sudo apt install gcc-arm-linux-gnueabihf g++-arm-linux-gnueabihf
# Install QEMU for ARM
sudo apt install qemu-system-arm
# Install device tree compiler
sudo apt install device-tree-compiler
# Install Android tools
sudo apt install android-tools-fastboot android-tools-adb
```
### 2. Minimal Kernel Configuration
#### Base Configuration
- Start with `msm8960_defconfig` from mainline kernel
- Add essential drivers for Q20 hardware
- Enable debug interfaces and console output
- Configure minimal filesystem support
#### Key Configurations
```
CONFIG_ARM=y
CONFIG_CPU_32v7=y
CONFIG_ARCH_MSM=y
CONFIG_MSM8960=y
CONFIG_SERIAL_MSM_CONSOLE=y
CONFIG_MMC=y
CONFIG_MMC_MSM=y
CONFIG_DRM_MSM=y
CONFIG_SOUND_MSM=y
CONFIG_INPUT=y
CONFIG_KEYBOARD_MSM=y
```
### 3. Device Tree Development
#### Base Device Tree
- Create `q20.dts` based on MSM8960 reference
- Define memory map and CPU configuration
- Add essential peripherals (UART, MMC, GPIO)
- Configure display and input devices
#### Key Device Tree Nodes
```dts
/ {
model = "BlackBerry Classic Q20";
compatible = "blackberry,q20", "qcom,msm8960";
memory {
device_type = "memory";
reg = <0x0 0x80000000>;
};
chosen {
stdout-path = "serial0:115200n8";
};
};
```
### 4. Minimal Root Filesystem
#### BusyBox-based Rootfs
- Use Buildroot to create minimal rootfs
- Include essential tools (sh, ls, mount, etc.)
- Add network tools for debugging
- Configure basic init system
#### Essential Packages
```
busybox
dropbear (SSH server)
iw (Wi-Fi tools)
alsa-utils (audio)
```
### 5. Boot Image Creation
#### Android Boot Image Format
- Create `zImage` from kernel
- Build minimal `initramfs`
- Package as Android boot image
- Test with QEMU first
#### Boot Image Structure
```
boot.img:
├── kernel (zImage)
├── ramdisk (initramfs)
├── device tree (q20.dtb)
└── second stage (optional)
```
### 6. Testing Strategy
#### QEMU Testing
- Test kernel boot in QEMU
- Verify device tree loading
- Test basic hardware emulation
- Debug boot issues
#### Hardware Testing (when available)
- Test on actual Q20 device
- Verify debug interface access
- Test bootloader interaction
- Document hardware behavior
### 7. Debug Interface Setup
#### Serial Console
- Configure UART for console output
- Set up USB-to-serial communication
- Enable kernel console messages
- Test debug output
#### Network Debug
- Configure network interface
- Set up SSH access
- Enable remote debugging
- Test network connectivity
## Implementation Steps
