<p class="MsoNormal">Hi John. I will try a 3.14+ kernel. By the way, I have an Intel DE3815TYBE "NUC" board (Atom E3815). I don't want to hijack my own thread, but I have not been able to use the onboard serial ports. As far as you know (maybe is not your speciality
field) could this be caused by the lack of support of older kernels on bay trail?.<u></u><u></u></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Hi:<br>
<br>
I just received a couple of MinnowMax that I have ordered on July. Now I have to decide on what distro I will put my time on. My main consideration is the support of peripherals (GPIO, Serial ports, SPI, etc). I know the eLinux page "Minnowboard:MinnowMaxDistros",
but there is not much information on what distros should ease the work with these peripherals. I remember have read something about the support of the Atom processor could be better on newer kernel version. Should I worry about the Kernel Version more than
the distro?.<br>
<br>
Thanks.<u></u><u></u></p>
