# LemonadeMirror: porting the Lululemon Mirror to mainline Linux

> LemonadeMirror ports the Lululemon Mirror's peripherals from its Android vendor software to Debian and a mainline Linux kernel. The author describes using REA, Ghidra, objdump and device-tree decoding to recover display, audio, microphone and camera settings, then implements kernel patches, a device tree and user-space services.
