Nokia E7-00 Linux: reconstructing the boot chain and device interfaces

Nokia E7-00 Linux investigates the phone's boot chain and hardware interfaces to build QEMU models and a Linux port. Its notes cover NLoader, OneNAND, GPIO, display transport, USB and memory-card control, supported by probe outputs and kernel code. The author reports a Linux shell in emulation while physical-device bring-up remains in progress.
