Update: This work is superseded by my 'isorespin.sh' script which can respin an official ISO suitable for use on Intel Atom devices. Depending on your device's bootloader there a couple of approaches of installing Ubuntu on the Intel Z3735F device. Let's consider a couple of examples. Intel Compute Stick (using 64-bit bootloader) Download the 64-bit Ubuntu 14.04 ISO from http://releases.ubuntu.com/trusty/ and write to a USB using 'Rufus' on Windows or 'dd' on Linux Plug the USB into the device and power-up and use F2 to change the bootloader to 64-bit (i.e. Ubuntu 14.04) Now use F10 to boot from the USB and install Ubuntu. You will now have a bootable Ubuntu but without bluetooth, wifi and sound Reboot into Ubuntu and Open a terminal window and make the file executable (chmod 700 linuxium-z3735f-patch.sh) and execute the shell script as root (sudo ./linuxium-z3735f-patch.sh) This will build and install all the required drivers for Ubuntu Once finished reboot your device to enable a fully functional Ubuntu Meegopad T02 (using 32-bit bootloader) Start by downloading the 64-bit Ubuntu 14.04 ISO from http://releases.ubuntu.com/trusty/ and write to a USB using 'Rufus' on Windows Download 'bootia32.efi' from https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B99O3A0dDe67QWUtek9rdHptMjA (or compile yourself) and copy the file to the USB's 'EFI\BOOT' directory Plug the USB into the device and power-up and use F7 to boot from the USB and install Ubuntu Wait for the installation to finish but do not answer the 'Continue Testing' or 'Restart Now' option in the installation window and instead open a terminal window From the terminal window make the file executable (chmod 700 linuxium-32bit-patch.sh) and execute the shell script as root (sudo ./linuxium-32bit-patch.sh) This will install a 32-bit version of the GRUB2 bootloader. Once installed close the terminal window and select the 'Restart Now' option from the installation window Boot into Ubuntu and Make the file executable (chmod 700 linuxium-z3735f-patch.sh) and execute the shell script as root (sudo ./linuxium-z3735f-patch.sh) This will build and install all the required drivers for Ubuntu except that sound will not work Reboot into Ubuntu and Make the file executable (chmod 700 linuxium-dsdt-patch.sh) and execute the shell script as root (sudo ./linuxium-dsdt-patch.sh) Once finished reboot your device to enable a fully functional Ubuntu |
