  • Help with documentation, testing, troubleshooting via email/irc.
  • Research and develop 3G baseband on mediatek chips
  • Test postmarketos/ofono on Moto E (surnia) and LG Nexus 5 (hammerhead)
  • Play around with qualcomm quectel modules

Details

  • debian linux
  • EC20 module
  • iPhone 4
