X13s
This page aims to provide an overview of the current status of Linux support for the X13s laptop.
For some background on this project and further details, see my presentations at Kernel Recipes 2023 and Linaro Connect 2024:
https://kernel-recipes.org/en/2023/schedule/the-arm-laptop-project/
https://resources.linaro.org/en/resource/1dCZq5rYdNHR6WviFLaPMB
Important fixes and support for new features (once stable enough) can be found in my X13s (sc8280xp) wip branches, for example:
https://github.com/jhovold/linux/tree/wip/sc8280xp-6.13-rc1
These branches also include a minimal (but functional) johan_defconfig that serves as documentation for the configuration options that need to be enabled for the X13s.

To boot Linux the following kernel parameters need to be provided:
clk_ignore_unused pd_ignore_unused arm64.nopauth efi=noruntime
due to a generic resource handover issue and a couple of firmware bugs, respectively.
With recent UEFI firmware efi=noruntime can be left out when the Linux Boot option is enabled.
- alsa-ucm-conf 1.2.11
- libcamera 0.3.0
- linux-firmware-20230919
- Bluetooth NVM config (hpnv21.b8c and hpnv21g.b8c) from latest linux-firmware
- Video acceleration firmware (qcvss8280.mbn) with wip branch
- Mesa 23.1.4
- ModemManager 1.20 + fcc-unlock symlink
-
Qualcomm protection-domain mapper daemon (pd-mapper)(not needed since 6.11)
- Active speaker protection not enabled, volume limited for now
- DisplayPort output not enabled
- Pipewire playback and capture issues (switch to Pulseaudio as workaround)
- Reducing quantum size appears to help with playback issues
pw-metadata -n settings 0 clock.max-quantum 1024
- Pops and clicks
- Connectivity issues due to missing board-specific firmware (e.g. very limited range) (fixed in wip branch and linux-firmware)
- Device address needs to be set manually for now
btmgmt --index 0 public-addr 00:11:22:33:44:55
- libcamera needs acccess to
/dev/udmabuf(e.g. user must be in thekvmgroup)
- Link training fails during resume (very infrequent)
- Support for some functions like mic mute is missing
- aDSP fails to register its services (e.g. sound, battery, USB-C orientation) (very infrequent)
- All displays fail to resume if suspending after disconnecting external display in X
- Crash on resume if disconnecting external display while suspended
- Not yet hitting deepest low-power state during suspend
- USB disconnect triggers wakeup (disconnect before suspending as workaround)
-
Wi-Fi suspend issues(fixed in linux-firmware-20240220)- Firmware wakes system up immediately or crashes on resume in some setups
- Display driver does not yet support 4-lane DisplayPort Alt Mode
- USB-C coldplug orientation detection not working (flip cable as workaround)
- MAC address not static, can be worked around using udev (e.g. in /etc/udev/rules.d/90-net-address.rules)
ACTION=="add", SUBSYSTEM=="net", KERNELS=="0006:01:00.0", RUN+="/usr/bin/ip link set dev $name address xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx" - Wi-Fi breaks due to ring-buffer corruption (infrequent)
