GPLv2 Compliance & Current Status

According to the GPLv2 license, Xiaomi is required to release the complete kernel source code for all Linux kernel components included in the firmware of GPL-licensed devices.

The Redmi Note 14 Pro+ 5G (amethyst) has been widely released in global markets, but as of now:

• Kernel sources for amethyst have not been published.
• No branch exists in the Xiaomi_Kernel_OpenSource repository for SM7635/amethyst.
• Developers are unable to build custom ROMs, recoveries, or debug kernel-level issues without compliant source release.

Development Blockers

This prevents the development of:

• Custom ROMs (AOSP, LineageOS, PixelOS, etc.)
• TWRP / OrangeFox Recovery
• Kernel fixes and security patch merging
• Device bring-up for OSS-dependent development
• Compliance verification for GPL-licensed components

Why This Is Needed

The kernel source is required to:

• Ensure GPLv2 compliance.
• Allow community developers to work on stable custom builds.
• Implement proper device tree (DTBO/DTB) support.
• Build matching kernel modules.
• Enable full compatibility with Android 14/15 frameworks.
• Maintain kernel-level security fixes.

Xiaomi has an excellent history of releasing sources, and we kindly request continuation of that support.

Request

Please release the complete kernel source code for the Xiaomi Redmi Note 14 Pro+ 5G (amethyst) including:

• Kernel tree for the SM7635 platform.
• Device-specific DTS/DTSI.
• Kernel configuration (defconfig).
• Vendor driver modules.
• Any required build scripts.

A release branch similar to previous Xiaomi Android 14/15 releases would be greatly appreciated.

Thank You

Thank you for your continued support of the developer community. We appreciate Xiaomi’s timely kernel releases and look forward to the amethyst kernel source being published soon.
