## Installation

Note: This device does not ship with USB Type-A connectors.

Default BIOS options are correct. In order to bring the UEFI Boot screen selection, tap the Escape key, and using right arrow key, go to the last page, and then select desired option in the Boot Override section. The device does not contain any USB Type-A port, use a USB-C dock in order to plug in the Flash Memory via USB. The device supports booting from SD cards via USB-C Dock.

## Firmware

fwupd supports parts on this device, though, as of writing, no updates were provided.

## Screen rotation

Upon exiting the BIOS the device screen is rotated counter-clockwise. In order to correct that, edit entry in the GRUB and add the following parameter: `fbcon=rotate:1`. Also, one may change the configuration i.e. in GNOME settings, however GDM will not use those settings.

## Known issues

### Broken screen on resume

Sometimes, when using particular kernels, builtin screen looks like it was physically damaged when coming out of shallow sleep. Workaround: Tap the sleep button, then wake the computer using the buil-in keyboard. It should start working again.
