Hello Xiaomi Kernel Team,
I am writing to formally request the release of the complete and corresponding Linux kernel source code for the Xiaomi Pad 8
Codename: yupei
Model code: 25097RP43G (and related regional variants)
These devices are commercially available and ship with a Linux kernel licensed under GPLv2. As per the requirements of the GNU General Public License version 2 (and consistent with Xiaomi's long-standing practice of releasing kernel sources via this repository), the corresponding kernel source code should be made publicly available.
I have checked the Xiaomi_Kernel_OpenSource repository and could not find a branch or release for the "yupei" codename (or any matching entries for these model names). I am interested in custom ROM development, kernel modifications, security research, and general open-ness.
Releasing the kernel source would greatly benefit:
• The custom development community (custom kernels, recoveries, alternative OSs)
• Users interested in building their own firmware or understanding device internals
• Compliance with open-source licensing obligations
Could you please provide an estimated timeline for when the spring kernel source (matching the current shipping firmware, e.g., HyperOS 3 based on Android 16) will be uploaded to this repository?
Thank you very much for your attention and continued support for open-source compliance.
