Kernel-patches for UP2?

WereCatf

I'd like to run Ubuntu 17.04 (17.10 once it's released) with a newer kernel than the 4.9 that ships with Ubilinux, but I'd also like access to the GPIO-, I2C- and SPI-stuff. I do not want to run Ubuntu 16.04 due to the amount of outdated packages, and Debian 9 (which Ubilinux is based on) is even worse in this regards. Now, the problem is that I am under the impression that Aaeon/Emutex will only be supporting 16.04 and Ubilinux on these boards and the 4.9-series kernel, so I'd need to compile the newer kernel myself. Alas, where do I find the kernel-patches? They're not on Emutex's github, as far as I can see.

Hi WereCatf,

We currently support only Kernel 4.9 as it is an LTS kernel and official kernel for both Debian 9 and Yocto 2.3.
Ubuntu is going to use 4.10 kernel (Ubuntu 16.04.3) but it will be available later this year.

We are in the process of releasing ubilinux 4.0 final and together we will publish the 4.9 kernel with all the patches used on ubilinux on Github today.

Aight, mind popping in to let me/us know when the patches are available? I'll take a look at them then.
