Kernel Patching

DONE Create derivative to patch kernel 5.10.2

• Latest from linux-surface
• Download github.com/linux-surface/linux-surface kernel patches
• Build kernel using downloaded patches

CANCELLED Create a function for selecting preferred kernel

DONE Fix how Keyboard & Trackpad are not being enabled on SL3

• https://github.com/linux-surface/surface-aggregator-module/wiki/Testing-and-Installing

DONE Update to kernel 5.10.19

• State "DONE" from "DOING" [2021-03-06 Sat 20:55]

Firmware

DONE Remove archived kvalo/ath10k-firmware repo

• The QCA6174 firmware appears to be in the standard Linux firmware repo, now

DONE Remove old firmware binaries

• Looks like the ath10k files aren't needed, any more

DONE Create derivative for `ipts` firmware

• Download github.com/linux-surface/surface-ipts-firmware firmware
• Install the binaries

DONE Remove `ipts` firmware derivative

• This is only needed on the 4.19 kernel

DONE Investigate problem with ath10k wifi firmware on Surface Go

• State "DOING" from "TODO" [2021-02-09 Tue 17:19]
• State "DONE" from "DOING" [2021-03-06 Sat 15:27]

DONE README entry explaining problem(s) with nonfree firmware on Surface Go

• State "DONE" from "TODO" [2021-02-09 Tue 17:17]

DONE Create derivative for `ath10k` firmware on Surface Go

• State "DOING" from "TODO" [2021-02-09 Tue 17:18]

• Download github.com/kvalo/ath10k-firmware ?
• Download kernel.org linux-firmware?
• Download `board.bin` from Killer Networks?

• Install ath10k firmware fix for Surface Go

  • `board-2.bin` needs to be removed / replaced with `board.bin`
• Add a config option for enabling the Surface Go Firmware

• Replace the vendorised `board.bin` with a `fetchurl`

  • Getting HTTP 406 when using `fetchurl` or `nix-prefetch-url` that has to be diagnosed
