### Reference Platform Kernel
The Reference Platform kernel used by the enterprise release can be found on [github.com/96boards/linux](https://github.com/96boards/linux/tree/96b/releases/2016.03)
The Reference Platform kernel used by the enterprise release can be found on [github.com/96boards/linux](https://github.com/96boards/linux/tree/96b/releases/2016.06)
Since we use the same kernel config with all our builds and distributions, it is also available as part of the same kernel tree, and can be found at [arch/arm64/configs/distro.config](https://github.com/96boards/linux/blob/96b/releases/2016.03/arch/arm64/configs/distro.config).
At the time of the 16.03 release, the kernel is based on *4.4.0*.
For future releases we will also have kernel config fragments for key functionality that will make it easier for other projects and distributions to consume.
The Reference Platform kernel will act as an integration point (very similar to linux-next) for various upstream-targeted features and platform-enablement code on the latest kernel. 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.
