The ASUS X205TA is an Intel Bay Trail device with a 64-bit CPU and a 32-bit UEFI.

## Installation

See Unified Extensible Firmware Interface#UEFI firmware bitness.

The firmware setup uses traditional BIOS color scheme, so it might work with OCR software. Navigation is controlled by the arrow keys on the keyboard.

Note: Blind users should request the help of a sighted person to change BIOS settings

## Firmware

Enter firmware setup by pressing `F2` after turning on the X205TA.

Secure Boot must be turned off to boot Arch:

- Enter firmware setup
- Navigate to the Security tab
- Enter the Secure Boot menu
- For Secure Boot Control, choose the option Disabled
- Save changes and exit

To boot from your USB installation medium:

- Enter firmware setup
- Navigate to the Save & Exit tab
- Select your USB installation medium from the Boot Override section of the menu

## Wi-Fi breaks after hibernation

Use the following script:

    /usr/lib/systemd/system-sleep/hibernate.sh

    #!/bin/sh

    case $1 in
        pre)
            rmmod brcmfmac
            ;;
        post)
            modprobe brcmfmac
            ;;
    esac

    exit 0

and make it the script executable.

## Bluetooth

Install a correct firmware file (e.g. `BCM43341B0_002.001.014.0122.0176.hcd` from Windows 10 driver) as `/lib/firmware/brcm/BCM43341B0.hcd`. See this page for more information on the hcd file.

In order to get bluetooth working create a systemd unit:

    /etc/systemd/system/btattach.service

    [Unit]
    Description=Btattach

    [Service]
    Type=simple
    ExecStart=/usr/bin/btattach --bredr /dev/ttyS1 -P bcm
    ExecStop=/usr/bin/killall btattach

    [Install]
    WantedBy=multi-user.target

and enable the service.

Next, follow the normal steps to activate bluetooth.
