Could you build this?

No Porting Linux to a proprietary Unisoc-based 5G hotspot requires low-level SoC bring-up, custom bootloader exploits, and kernel driver configuration for specialized cellular modems.

What it would actually take: Building this requires custom Linux 5.4 kernel tree configurations, Unisoc UMS9620 SoC board support packages (BSP), reverse-engineering Unisoc proprietary modem interfaces (IPC/modem power management watchdog), and writing device tree definitions. It requires specialized embedded hardware hacking, hardware debugging via UART/JTAG, and deep Linux kernel driver engineering skills.
