Cherry Picked Patches for Cherry Trail Devices
Cherry Picked Patches for Cherry Trail Devices
Benefits Bay Trail devices as well.
Update: This page refers to earlier work and my latest ISOs and kernel upgrade scripts can be downloaded from my latest post.
Ive updated my 4.9.0-11.12 kernel to include Len Browns patch to address kernel freezes (https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=109051#c628), Laszlo-Fiats patch to stabilize the RTL8723BS driver (https://github.com/hadess/rtl8723bs/issues/76) and Hans de Goedes patches to address wifi issues (https://github.com/hadess/rtl8723bs/issues/80).
To upgrade your kernel download the shell script and after making it executable (enter chmod 755 <script>) you can install it as root (by entering sudo <script>). Once the script has finished executing the device will need to be rebooted to use the updated (patched) kernel.
4.9.0-11.12 (superseded)
Additionally Ive respun yesterdays Ubuntu 17.04 (Zesty Zapus) Daily Build (Alpha 281216) ISO to include this updated 4.9.0-11.12 kernel together with firmware to support the Broadcom BCM4330 wifi chip (e.g. Tronsmart Ara X5) and the Broadcom BCM43340 wifi chip (e.g. ASUS EeeBook X205TA).
To try the ISO download it from the link below (in red) and write it to a USB using either Rufus in Windows or dd in Linux.

Ubuntu comes with everything. All the essential applications, like an office suite, browsers, email and media apps come pre-installed and thousands more games and applications are available in the Ubuntu Software Centre.
