Cherry Picked Patches for Cherry Trail Devices

Cherry Picked Patches for Cherry Trail Devices

Benefits Bay Trail devices as well.

Update: This work is superseded by my isorespin.sh script which can respin an official ISO suitable for use on Intel Atom devices.

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4.9.0-11.12 (superseded)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.
To turn on wifi for mini PCs with Broadcom wifi chips it is often necessary to reload the driver. In a terminal window enter sudo modprobe -r brcmfmac followed by sudo modprobe brcmfmac.
