+#### 04/10/25
+Samsung A5 arrived but it turns out its a 2017 model which is not as well supported by pmOS
+  * Fixed a known issue with menuconfig as need to apply some patches - these will need to be MR'd eventually to pmaports
+  * Currently trying to fix an issue with the build (newer versions of pmOS want modules but the kernel isn't built with modules so the build fails - its affecting a lot of the downstream pmOS models)
+  * log here: https://bpa.st/Z6SME
+  * Current focus is to build the kernel for the a5y17lte and then see if I can fix this issue
+  * Had to switch to x86 instead of my aarch64 rock5c as pmOS doesn't work that well on non-x86 systems even though it claims it will
+
+
+#### Future Jobs
+  * Add patches to allow menuconfig to build on a5y17lte
