+# Derivatives for Microsoft Surface notebooks
+
+These derivatives use the patches from the [linux-surface repo](https://github.com/linux-surface/linux-surface/tree/master/patches).
+
+## Kernel
+
+The kernel needs several patches to make it work correctly with some of the hardware on various
+Surface models, e.g. keyboard/trackpad, camera, wifi.
+
+Not all hardware is fully supported, but the
+[linux-surface feature matrix](https://github.com/linux-surface/linux-surface/wiki/Supported-Devices-and-Features#feature-matrix)
+provides details on which devices are supported on which types of machine.
+
+The kernel-specific derivations are under the `kernel/` sub-directory.
+In order to simplify maintenance of the Nix code, only the most-recent kernel patch-set is expected
+to be maintained in this repo.
+
+_*NOTE:*_Some built-in Kernel config items need to be set, that aren't set by default:
+- https://github.com/linux-surface/surface-aggregator-module/wiki/Testing-and-Installing
+
+## Firmware, Drivers and Support Tools
+
+### WiFi
+
+For the Surface Go, please see the "Issues" sections below.
+
+### IPTS
+
+IPTS is used on most of the Surface range, except for Surface Go and Surface Laptop 3 (AMD version).
+
+Older kernels used specialised firmware which used a method that's no longer supported by the
+more-recent kernels.
+
+Newer kernels use the kernel-space `intel-precise-touch` driver and user-space `ipstd` daemon.
+
+The `iptsd` daemon works with the `intel-precise-touch` driver to convert raw touch data from the
+kernel-space driver into events for the HID / input sub-system.
+
+- https://github.com/linux-surface/iptsd
+- https://github.com/linux-surface/intel-precise-touch
+  - _*NOTE:*_ The patches from this repo are included in the above kernel patches, already.
+
+### DTX, `surface-control`
+
+*TODO*
+
+# ToDo's Not Done
+
+See: [TODO.org](./TODO.org)
+
+# Issues
+
+## TLP daemon
+
+TLP is known to cause problems on Surface unless correctly configured.
+See: https://github.com/linux-surface/linux-surface/blob/master/README.md
+
+## Wifi Firmware for Surface Go
+
+On the Surface Go, the standard firmware from the official Linux Firmware repo has issues with the
+`ath10k` QCA6174 Wifi device.
+You will see messages like "Can't ping firmware" *TODO - Copy messages from console*
+
+The most effective fix to-date is to remove the `board-2.bin` file or replace it with a copy of the
+`board.bin` file.
