This pinephone project was the last thing I remeber looking into. Not sure where they are at now. But I think they have a number of OSS you can look to contribute to.

Pine64 announced recently that they drop the PinePhone Pro, but hope to continue with the PinePhone for 2 more years. To be honest there is not much of a community left when I last checked, and I dont remember when the PP was last in stock, only the convergence? package.

But there are a great series of tutorials from Lupyuen where he gets Apache Nuttx running on the PP. He fills in a lot of the missing documentation and magic smoke details.

For example: https://lupyuen.org/articles/dsi#initialise-lcd-controller

I'm currently following the same reverse engineering process, but using Zig. The A64 is quite fun to play with, but I think the hardware might be better suited as a feature phone vs full linux. I'll let you know in 10 years time hehe.

The pinephone hardware feels like a prototype due to the old A20 cpu (heat problems, poor battery life).

The lesser-known SHIFT6mq has an actual mobile chip and apparently works correctly as a phone under postmarketOS (only GPS, NFC and Camera missing): https://wiki.postmarketos.org/wiki/SHIFT_SHIFT6mq_(shift-axo.... There are pointers on the wiki to hack on the camera if you want to help the cause.

The Fairphone 5 is another good candidate for hacking: calls and camera are not working: https://wiki.postmarketos.org/wiki/Fairphone_5_(fairphone-fp...
