People wanting to test Surface Pro X

Hin, would be happy to test Linux on my Pro X. Are there any build instructions?

@thmichel You might get more help for that on Sonicadvance1/linux#27. There are also a link to an openSUSE build service repo. Building the kernel should be fairly standard, but you'll probably need the appropriate patches and config options.

I built the kernel now using WSL on Windows. Problem is I cannot get the Pro X to boot the Linux image provided in your link, so I cannot install Linux in the first place.

Can't really help with that as I've never tried Linux on ARM, sorry.

Progresses have been made, thanks also to linaro.

For Surface Pro X support, see Sonicadvance1/linux#27 and https://github.com/linux-surface/surface-pro-x. While the changes haven't been included in this repository yet, we now do have SAM support for most parts (keyboard, touchpad, battery stats).
