  • ath10k/QCA6174/hw3.0/board-2.bin

Kernel

Touchpad & touch screen

For the touchpad and touch screen to work correctly, the following drivers are needed:

KERNEL Enable support for touchpad and touch screen
Processor type and features  --->
    [*] AMD ACPI2Platform devices support
Device Drivers  --->
    -*- Pin controllers  --->
        <*> AMD GPIO pin control
    HID support  --->
        Special HID drivers  --->
            <*> HID Multitouch panels
        I2C HID support  --->
            <*> HID over I2C transport layer
    I2C support  --->
        I2C Hardware Bus support  --->
            <*> AMD MP2 PCIe
            <*> Synopsys DesignWare Platform
            <*> Synopsys DesignWare PCI
    Input device support  --->
        Mice  --->
            <*> ELAN I2C Touchpad support
            [*] Enable I2C support
            [*] Enable SMbus support

Webcam

For the webcam, the following drivers are required:

KERNEL Enable support for the webcam
Device Drivers  --->
    [*] Multimedia support  --->
        [*] Filter media drivers
            Media Device Types  --->
                [*] Cameras and video grabbers

                [*] USB Video Class (UVC)
                [*]   UVC input events device support

Sound & Microphone

For sound and the microphone to work, you need to enable the AMD Renoir audio drivers:

KERNEL Enable audio support
Device Drivers  --->
     <*> Sound card support  --->
        <*>   Advanced Linux Sound Architecture  --->
            [*]   PCI sound devices  --->
            HD-Audio  --->
                <*> HD Audio PCI
                <*> Build Realtek HD-audio codec support
                <*> Build HDMI/DisplayPort HD-audio codec support
            <*> ALSA for SoC audio support  --->
                <*> AMD Audio Coprocessor-v3.x support
                <*> AMD Audio Coprocessor - Renoir support
                <*>   AMD Renoir support for DMIC
Note
None of the items under "PCI sound devices" need to be selected. SND_PCI is just needed to enable HD-Audio.

Configuration

F keys

By default, the F keypresses default to their media/Fn function, rather than the F key itself. This can be changed in the BIOS.

Troubleshooting

Touch pad gestures don't work, touch screen doesn't work

Makes sure the drivers from the above Kernel section are installed.
