Yoga Book Nougat kernel source code petition

[Palm Trees]

Lenovo is the only company to have released an Android Nougat update for an Intel Atom Cherry Trail SoC powered device.

If Lenovo releases the kernel sources for the Android N version created for its Lenovo Yoga Book (Lenovo YB1-X90F/L), developers can start working on Android N upgrades for other devices powered by the Intel Atom Cherry Trail SoCs.

Lenovo has previously released the Android Marshmallow kernel sources for the Yoga Book (https://pcsupport.lenovo.com/us/en/products/tablets/yoga-series/yoga-book/downloads/ds118515 Thus it shouldn't be a problem abiding by the General Public License v2 (GPLv2), which requires Android device makers to publish the kernel source code.

I'm not sure that it would make a difference, but has anyone tried posting on their support forums or contacting them directly?

It might help our case to note that the device (the Android version, anyway) has been discontinued. I doubt we'll see any further official updates from Lenovo.

Only via Facebook. Got this answer:
"Thanks for reaching out. Currently, this the only open source http://lnv.gy/2DMoObI we have for Yoga Book. You can keep an eye on the support website as it will be updated if a new open source will be released. Let us know if you have other inquiries."

Feel free to post the link to the petition on the Lenovo forums or even ask them via Facebook/scoial media. The more attention, the greater the chances.

WOW! I've passed this information along. Thanks a lot, this hopefully opens some doors

What did you do exactly?

UPDATE: It's another Marshmallow kernel source code. We need the Android Nougat kernel source code!

True, i open it and it was another MM sources, i will rewrite to them again, however, i figure it out how to use it, for example specially for yoga Book Windows owners, i tried to install Android distro (Phoenixos, blissos,......) but some Drivers were missing i mean no Sound, no Bluetooth,....... but today i understood how it work, in lib/Firmware we Can add this files in any Android distro to get some or all Drivers work, but im trying to figure out how to copy-paste them inside System.sfs under Windows enviroment :fingers-crossed:
