Nura implements call audio routing for Fairphone 5 and Motorola Edge 30

Key Takeaway

The Nura project (formerly postmarketOS) has achieved initial working call audio routing for Fairphone 5 and Motorola Edge 30 devices.

Summary

Following a rebranding from postmarketOS to Nura, the project has made progress on mobile telephony features. Developers have implemented an initial version of call audio routing for the Fairphone 5 and Motorola Edge 30, enabling basic call functionality in Nura edge.

Technical progress in audio routing

  • Initial call audio routing is functional for Fairphone 5 and Motorola Edge 30 in Nura edge.
  • Speakerphone and microphone mute functions are currently excluded from the UI and require further UCM and UI integration.
  • Bluetooth call audio on Qualcomm-based devices requires a slimbus (digital audio) driver for the WCN3990 chip, as audio is routed through the SoC without reaching the main CPU.

Why it matters

This development moves Nura closer to providing a daily-driver mobile Linux experience on mainstream hardware like the Fairphone 5.
