Research direction

Start by reviewing the air-t-oss branches in MiCode/MTK_kernel_modules and MiCode/Xiaomi_Kernel_OpenSource, along with the referenced upstream issue. Determine what kernel source is missing for the Redmi 13C 5G/Redmi13R 5G/POCO M6 5G and what release changes are required; done means the requested Android 15 kernel source is publicly available.

Dear Xiaomi Open Source Team,

I would like to formally request the release of the kernel source code for the [Redmi 13C 5G/Redmi13R 5G/POCO M6 5G], also known as air/atmos, in accordance with the GNU General Public License v2 (GPLv2), which covers the Linux kernel used in our devices.

📱 Device Details:

Unified Device Name: Redmi 13C 5G/Redmi13R 5G/POCO M6 5G (air/atmos)

Android Version: Android 15

HyperOS Version: 2.0.203.0.VGQMIXM

Build Number: AP3A.240905.015.A2

Kernel Version: 5.15.167

As per GPLv2, kernel source code should be made publicly available once binaries are distributed. Releasing the source will allow developers to:

Build custom kernels
Develop and maintain custom ROMs

Thank you for your time and support of the open-source community.

Best regards,
