Re: Re: Installation of Debian bookworm (testing) on Lenovo IdeaPad 5G 14Q8X05

Hi,

the latest version of kernel 6.5 supports the Lenovo Flex 5G SoC SC8180X https://cdn.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v6.x/ChangeLog-6.5. I have a Lenovo IdeaPad 5G 14Q8X05 with SoC SC8180XP which is the evolution of the Flex one with the same CPU-GPU, but at higher frequency, with BT 5.1 and WiFi 6 instead of BT 5 and WiFi 5. Do you think it will work? If not, are you going to add support for SC8180XP?

Thank you

Hi,

I tried the latest daily build of debian unstable with kernel 6.1 and now the SoC is recognised correctly. However, I can start the installation in GUI and text mode, but the keyboard only works in GRUB, not during the installation.

This confirms that the snapdragon 8cx gen 1 aka SC8180X is the same as the snapdragon 8cx gen 2 aka SC8180XP, except that the latter's CPU frequency is higher.

The problem is the lack of drivers, the firmware-qcom-soc package https://packages.debian.org/sid/firmware-qcom-soc only includes the snapdragon 8cx gen 3. Do you have any update on the inclusion of the snapdragon 8cx gen 1-2?

Thanks
