== Debian support ==

The HiKey uses UEFI, so Debian should work out of the box once there's a kernel.

Kilian Krause [[http://bugs.debian.org/812540|requested ARCH_HISI to be enabled in the kernel]] recently. However, it seems that HiSilicon Kirin support in the kernel is still very basic (e.g. no USB support).
