Hi,
Any news on whether the u-boot and kernel sources will be released and whether we'll have any means to JTAG the device ?

I have a BLU Energy X 2 running the MT6580 chipset, with kernel version 3.10. I was looking into porting CyanogenMod12.1, however there is no device tree, as the kernel version is not updated enough. Is it still possible to port the ROM? I also don't have the vendor tree, how would I get that?
Thanks, Nate

Hello,
You need to generate the blobs for the vendor. Also you need a working device tree and kernel for it.
You can refer here Guide to Port MTK Roms for more information.

Anyone here can u tell me how to create source code of a new device as my device is INFOCUS M680, kernel source.
I have used another device as same board to create source of my device but the kernel source is different. So anyone can tell me how to create kernel source and device tree.
My kernel version is 3.18.19+
U can't "create" kernel sources... If the manufacturer provides the sources, then u can use that and make modifications to it to boot AOSP based roms
Is it possible to use a android common kernel? https://source.android.com/devices/architecture/kernel/android-common
So my soc didn't release a kernel source for my soc, is it possible to use ACK instead?
