Kernel support

Debian support

The DragonBoard 410c uses Little Kernel (LT) as boot loader, which provides fastboot. For Debian, we'll use u-boot. LT will load u-boot which in turn will load Debian. Mateusz Kulikowski contributed u-boot support upstream. u-boot-qcom is available in Debian with the boot loader for DragonBoard. The Qualcomm skales tool need to be packaged in order to wrap u-boot into an image the DragonBoard can boot.

Support for Snapdragon (ARCH_QCOM) has been enabled in the Linux kernel. For some reason, USB is not working, although it should.

Graphics

There's a free driver (freedreno) for the Adreno 306 thanks to Rob Clark. xserver-xorg-video-freedreno, libdrm-freedreno1 and libgl1-mesa-dri are in Debian.
