GS290: Ship all images

Rohit Sekhar requested to merge 4506-q-ship_everything into v1-q

Description

GS290: Ship all images

Issue(s)

https://gitlab.e.foundation/e/backlog/-/issues/4506

Test environment

Prepare a build with the following parameters:

  • DEVICES: GS290
  • BRANCH_NAME: v1-q
  • FEATURE_BRANCH: 4506-q-ship_everything

Test procedures

  • Install the build and notice that all the included partitions have been updated.

Technical details

  • Our installation guide asks users to download an old and outdated boot image and flash it via fastboot with: fastboot flash --disable-verification --disable-verification boot boot.img
  • For users coming from the latest stock image, this causes a mismatch and breaks wifi and bluetooth.
  • To circumvent the problem build boot,dtbo,recovery inline and ship prebuilt vendor and firmware images from the latest GS290 release, so that we can transition older users to the new firmware as well.
