Need driver .pets for Slacko in Intel Baytrail-T tablet
Posted: Tue 25 Oct 2016, 10:53
Hi, many people are trying to get linux working on their Intel Baytrail-T tablets and I'm one of them.
And I like to ask a developer to help me, by making Sound + Wi-fi/bluetooth drivers for this tablet in .pet form so that its easy to install even for noobs.
It would be best if the drivers were generic so they would work on any system but that is probably not possible. So i would like them to be for Slacko.
I found that slacko-6.9.6.3-uefi and slacko-6.9.6.4-uefi 32bit works best on this tablet, and booted from an usb with Ted dog's UEFI usb pack installed and kernel parameter:
i915.modeset=0

Built in is a microSDHC slot for expansion of storage of up to 32GB. 1GB of RAM. In terms of ports there is only 1 microUSB port which is host(OTG) capable and a 3.5mm headphone jack.

It has 32bit UEFI bios, so in order to boot it on anything it needs the /EFI/boot/bootia32.efi - here are the files needed with grub.cfg files with examples - its made by Ted Dog and I have modified it to work on this tablet. https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/948 ... usb.tar.gz
The bios can be accessed by holding both volume buttons and power ON, so you don't have to boot to windows first.
The partition scheme is as follows:
1. 100MB EFI
2. Windows C: - Windows 8.1 with bing - 9.30GB with 3.20GB free
3. Recovery - 5.15GB used
Seems to be using Wimboot.
Let me know if you need more info.
With kind regards
