Down the rabbit hole (uncovering the modem blackbox)
#14
I have a PBP, Pinebook Pro (works perfect) and think about get a new phone, maybe the Pinephone.
For now I'm waiting a little to see what happens with 5G, e-sim, maybe some new linux devices ... etc. 

Time ago I have bought a usb module with the same modem like Pinephone have, a Quectel EG25G (Olimex usb-glink) and i am trying to make a combo with the PBP to make my own Frankenstein device. Modem data with the PBP work but my goal is to be able to make and receive calls ... etc. like a phone, but have some problems with alsa and Voice-over-USB and UAB.

I put it aside but I'm taking it back encouraged by this witchcraft Pinephone Modem running kernel 5.10

I have been following the progress with the modem for a long time and they have helped me a lot, now I am trying to install a new kernel into the modem, but I do not know YOCTO and I am not an expert with the kernel, embedded devices, git, patches ... but, I have always learned a lot even though it has not come to fruition.

This is my issue
https://github.com/Biktorgj/pinephone_mo...k/issues/1

MACHINE=mdm9607 is invalid. Please set a valid MACHINE in your local.conf, environment or other configuration file.

I'm looking at how Yocto works and trying to compile meta-qcom but I get lost, can you point me to some place with more information about how to run kernel 5.10 on the modem please?

Or some tips to compile https://github.com/Biktorgj/quectel_eg25_kernel will be great too.

Thanks a lot in advance, great work.
