Hi,

according to wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Qualcomm_Snapdragon_systems_on_chips#Snapdragon_8cx_Compute_Platforms the snapdragon 8cx gen 1 is SC8180X not SM8450 which is snapdragon 8 gen 1 https://www.qualcomm.com/products/application/smartphones/snapdragon-8-series-mobile-platforms/snapdragon-8-gen-1-mobile-platform.

The nomenclature is not good at all, anyway they are two different SoCs.

The laptop has the qualcomm snapdragon 8cx gen 2 aka SC8180XP and as far as I know it is currently not supported by the linux kernel. While the snapdragon 8cx gen 3 aka SC8280 has complete support starting from linux 5.19+ and snapdragon 8cx gen 1 aka SC8180X should have it from linux 6.1+ https://git.linaro.org/landing-teams/working/qualcomm/kernel.git/commit/?id=40285e64c5654c956505dad34ed2ee4be163b1f0.

Once the snapdragon 8cx gen 2 has the kernel support, what about drivers? I read about this project Porting Linux to AArch64 Laptops which supports few devices https://www.linaro.org/blog/porting-linux-to-aarch64-laptops/.

Best Regards,

Alfredo
