DebianOn is an effort to document how to install, configure and use Debian on some specific hardware. Therefore potential buyers would know if that hardware is supported and owners would know how get the best out of that hardware.

The purpose is not to duplicate the Debian Official Documentation, but to document how to install Debian on some specific hardware.

If you need help to get Debian running on your hardware, please have a look at our user support channels where you may find specific channels (mailing list, IRC channel) dedicated to certain types of hardware.

Important Note

You will need a smartphone to tether Debian during it's install to in order to get up and running. Turn computer on, connect phone, go into settings on phone and select "USB tethering". Suggest using Wi-Fi whilst doing this. Enter bios to disable secure boot by holding down escape whilst booting. Choose text install, it will be in portrait mode and not landscape mode (tried fbcon:rotate but no joy.) During install it is safe to choose "use entire disk"...

Configuration

I've made a custom build of Linux kernel 4.14.8 (to be the LTS), it's available as set of packages at: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/19gFWgYEYmNYpE5XrzJ821JuhM8beq3Gy?usp=sharing

Download the folder from here, enter it and type in dpkg -i linux-image*.deb linux-headers*.deb

Display

I haven't got the Accelerometer working, but i have changed the orientation to landscape. apt install xrandr edit /etc/gdm/Init/Defaults to append "xrandr -o left" before the last line (exit 0). apt install xorg-xserver-video-intel

I don't have a micro HDMI cable to test that output.

Audio

sudo apt install firmware-intel-sound
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/AdamWill/baytrail-m/master/alsa/t100_B.state
sudo mv t100_B.state /var/lib/alsa/asound.state

Mouse

Power Management

couldn't get hibernate working.

WiFi

Download brcmfmac43340-sdio.bin from https://github.com/OpenELEC/wlan-firmware/tree/master/firmware/brcm".

mount -t efivarfs efivarfs /sys/firmware/efi/efivars cp /sys/firmware/efi/efivars/nvram-74b00bd9-805a-4d61-b51f-43268123d113 /lib/firmware/brcm/brcmfmac43340-sdio.txt unmount /sys/firmware/efi/efivars

Bluetooth

Works as part of the Wi-Fi module.

SD Card

Works with the new kernel.
