Created by: WilliamO7

So this is the second device I've ported, and boy was this one difficult!

  • Two new packages were added, unpackelf and mkelf to deal with the non-standard boot images the phone uses (don't ask me why, blame Sony.)
  • Therefore, pmb and the mkinitfs programs were modified to accomodate this.
  • Info will go up into the wiki soon(tm) - need to do other stuff first.

Device status: Convinced the phone does not boot at all. I cannot get a usb shell and the screen stays turned off.

EDIT: It does boot using the original kernel in the boot.img here with the generated initramfs (no screen still however).
