Comments/Problems:
As most Cherry Trail devices it has 32bit EFI, so i used an old multi-arch
install medium and only installed a text-only base system. Then i moved on
dist-upgrading to trixie. The device needs non-free firmware to work properly.
For sound to work i installed firmware-intel-sound. WAN, Wifi and bluetooth
works. I installed phosh-tablet, screen rotation and touchscreen also work.
Cameras do not work because Intel isp driver is not ready yet.
