Gigabyte Brix Linux Drivers

Looking for a distro that might work on the Gigabyte BRIX we just picked up. Intel would be proactive and introduce the necessary changes to linux? Yes, Intel has the driver, but you do not expect an older driver to work on. Nov 11, 2014 - I chose this particular Gigabyte BRIX model for review because I. Out-of-the-box in Linux, but was happy to find it works ok (driver rtl8723ae).

Hello folks, this post is about the Gigabyte BRIX (model rev 1.0) barebone computer. I bought this mini PC in order to transform it into an HTPC computer.

I’ve managed to install Ubuntu with XBMC on it, so I will detail here the steps in case it may help some people out there. Hardware Here’s my hardware setup: • mSATA disk: Crucial SSD M4 CT128M4SSD3 128 GB • 8 gb memory: 2 X Kingston KVR1333D3S9/4G • In the box: Intel Core i3-3227U CPU @ 1.90 GHz, mini PCIE Wifi card (RTL8188CE), Power supply cable • External Drive: Seagate Expansion Desktop 3,5″ 3TB USB 3.0 Different OS tested Once I was with my BRIX on hands, I tried to install different Ubuntu based OSes. To make a bootable usb key, I suggest you to use the Unetbootin app (macOS, Linux and Windows compatible). Tune mujhe bulaya sherawaliye download mp3 song. To do so, follow the official tutorial at: XBMCBuntu 12.2 I’ve tested the ISO xbmcbuntu-12.2.Intel-NVIDIA and the instal l didn’t worked for me. The command line installation stoped at some point and my TV displayed: No Video Input. Ubuntu 12.04 I’ve tested the official 64 bits version ( xforcevesa and nomodeset grub options added), and the install stucks at.

Gigabyte BRIX running Ubuntu 13.04 Devices drivers Wifi The RTL8188CE WIFI card got installed natively without any problems with Ubuntu 13.0.4 mSata Disk seems to be responding well, here are the quick benchmarks I’ve made: /dev/sda: Timing cached reads: 11322 MB in 2.00 seconds = 5666.05 MB/sec Timing buffered disk reads: 1106 MB in 3.00 seconds = 368.64 MB/sec External Seagate Expansion Desktop USB 3.0 Drive External disk seems to be working as well as the mSata. No problems until now.

Gigabyte eth0 Wol support Update 1 Regarding the WOL functionality, here’s the answer I got from Gigabyte.

Dear XX, After confirming with related department, GB-XM12-3227 (rev. 1.0) support Wake on LAN (WOL) function. Regards, GIGABYTE Update 2 Following Phil Wiffen’s great advise (check ), I disabled the ERP support in the BIOS and the WOL functionality worked as it should. I can now Wake-UP from the suspend, hibernate and poweroff states.

BIOS Update I’ve installed the latest BIOS provided by Gigabyte (F5) without problems. Please note that since I’ve the version installed my Samsung TV has some trouble when it comes to display the BIOS settings screen. If I needed to guess, I would say it’s related to the resolution which the BIOS uses (1024×768). I cannot be responsible for any damage you could do to your BRIX device. My advice is: Don’t update the BIOS unless you know what you’re doing. Avoid doing it if not needed.
