Hardware:
[list]
[*]2GiB of RAM[/*]
[*]Atom Z3754D[/*]
[*]32GiB [*]64GiB eMMC, microSD port (not bootable?)[/*]
[*]USB Host (USB 2.0?) + Charging on the same microUSB port. I'm unsure if we can do both at the same time through a special cable. I've also no idea if USB peripheral works (though modules like g_ethernet, etc)[/*]
[*]Unpopulated M2 port, it may be possible to solder a connector and add a WiFi card that works with free software in this way, but I've no idea if it exports PCIe lanes, and there are probably no ath9k_htc m2 cards[/*]
[/list]
Software support:
[list]
[*]Sound doesn't work (It seems to require nonfree signed firmwares)[/*]
[*]WiFi doesn't work (driver: ath6kl, requires a nonfree firmware)[/*]
[*]The webcam(s) don't work[/*]
[*]32bit UEFI (Tested with Guix system image guix system image -t efi32-raw)[/*]
[*]USB host works (Requires USB OTG cable)[/*]
[*]The Intel GPU seems to work fine[/*]
