Ubuntu Trusty on the Microsoft Surface Pro 3.

Work in Progress

Working

  • Type Cover 3 (both keyboard and trackpad).
  • Bluetooth
    • Trusty kernel 3.13: partially after updating the marvell firmware.
    • Utopic kernel 3.16: fully working after updating the marvell firmware.
  • Touch screen.
  • Built-in microphone, speakers, and headphone jack.
  • Wireless works but is very unstable (both 3.13 and 3.16 kernels).

Not Working

  • Cameras.

Untested

  • MicroSD reader.
  • Bluetooth pen.
