| 28 | 7 | gnutoo | The Replicant project "has some information on the modem boot":https://redmine.replicant.us/projects/replicant/wiki/QMI-RIL#Modem-boot. |
| 29 | 1 | gnutoo | |
| 30 | 7 | gnutoo | Though that page has also information on how to support that modem from Replicant which runs on the Samsung Exynos 4412. |
| 31 | |||
| 32 | 8 | gnutoo | Note that the AP part is also supported by upstream Linux with the "exynos4412-i9305.dts":https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/tree/arch/arm/boot/dts/exynos4412-i9305.dts if you use "u-boot and a nonfree BL1":https://blog.forkwhiletrue.me/posts/an-almost-fully-libre-galaxy-s3/ (the stock bootloader doesn't clear the icache/dcache and still the MMU on). |

| 41 | 11 | gnutoo | * Scan the device PCB and upload it to archive.org to confirm the modem model with the markings (and not just the kernel configuration from the LineageOS kernel) |
| 42 | 7 | gnutoo | * Look if the max77693 can route the modem to the USB connector through "resistor values":https://git.replicant.us/replicant/kernel_samsung_smdk4412/tree/drivers/misc/max77693-muic.c#n82. |
