I don't think sunxi-boards is really maintained anymore, at best FEX files are somewhat irrelevant for mainline, even Allwinner seems to have dropped that ball many years ago. > As a beginner I did exactly what it said, git add and send patch, but > didn't git commit as it didn't say that anywhere, I'm sorry for that. Yeah, I see that it proposes to send a patch to the list. Which is somewhat pointless, as it's a github based repo, so it should follow that process there. > For an A10 tablet, should I still send a pull request over github or the > email method is fine? For that old tablet I think you can push the FEX file, via a Github PR, though I don't know many people care about this still. If your aim is to run (mainline) Linux, you would need a devicetree file anyway. You can use the information in the FEX to create or generate one.
