 +**UPDATE 24 Oct 2016**: migrated the system to current upstream U-boot and Linux. Everything seems to be nice and reliable. The limitations section still applies.
 +Some notes on update:
 +  * Needs the latest (from firmware git) ''rt2870.bin'' for stable wifi
 +  * Missing ''nvec_event'' so lid open/close events are not generated
 +  * To be able to use ''synaptics'' X.org driver the ''elantech'' protocol needs to be forced for ''psmouse'' kernel driver
 +  * ''mpv'' works nicely for unaccelerated video playback, including streaming from Youtube and other popular hostings (''ytdl-format=18'' is usually needed)
