Please read the [kernel policy](../../KernelPolicy.md) on how this kernel will be maintained. It is not meant to be a stable kernel - the [LSK](https://wiki.linaro.org/LSK) is already available for that. +At the time of the 16.06 release, the kernel is based on *4.4.11*. ### Quick Start #### AMD Overdrive -Since the EDK2 based firmware is not yet supported (work in progress), the original AMI BIOS based firmware from AMD is required. +UEFI/EDK2 is supported by Overdrive Rev B (with build from source instructions available as part of the [UEFI EDK2 Guide](../UEFI-EDK2-Guide-EE.md#building), and since ACPI support is new, please make sure you are using the latest firmware available at [https://builds.96boards.org/releases/reference-platform/components/uefi/16.06/release/overdrive/](https://builds.96boards.org/releases/reference-platform/components/uefi/16.06/release/overdrive) before proceeding with kernel testing or installing your favorite distribution (and please make sure to report your firmware version when reporting issues and bugs). -At the time of the 16.03 release the latest firmware version for Overdrive (*B0*) is 1.0.0.1. Latest for *rev A* is still 0.0.7.4. +**NOTE:** 16.06 kernel **requires** the 16.06 UEFI/EDK2 firmware release! -*A* and *B0* are both supported by the 16.03 release (`A` requires an external PCIe NIC) - -After flashing/updating the firmware, proceed to the network installer instructions in order to install your favorite distribution. No special setup is required for Overdrive. ##### Flashing the firmware
