Release notes

Important information

  • IMPORTANT: THIS VERSION REQUIRES AN UEFI UPDATE! DO NOT USE WITH OLDER UEFIs!
  • It is expected currently for the boot process to look very rough on the right panel, when the image will change on the left the panel will act normally. This is the beginning, so bear with us for now :) Your displays aren't broken, and won't get damaged.
  • It is also expected for some rendering glitches to happen right now, do not freak out, it's not going to damage anything, your gpu isn't dying, it's ok. Here's an example of a glitch you may be expecting:

Changelog

  • Sensors Subsystem bring up. In order for sensors to work, some additional configuration work still needs to be done
  • Audio Subsystem bring up. In order for speakers to work, some additional audio configuration work still needs to be done. However advanced audio features through windows will now work
  • Updated Display Panel calibration
  • Updated Sensor configuration for Epsilon devices
  • Updated physical device location for digitizer devices
  • Updated PMIC reboot reason handling for Epsilon devices
  • Updated Surface Pen handling for Epsilon devices
  • Addresses an important issue where QURT might hang the entire device causing battery to drain with SCSS subsystem

Please note this is the beginning and barely anything will work currently.

What works and what matters from an user point of view:

  • Side buttons
  • USB (needs a registry change)
  • Closing/Opening the device correctly puts it in sleep/awake
  • CPU frequency is working
  • Bluetooth
  • GPU
  • Both displays
  • Touch

Nothing else works! You have been warned

How to offline update an existing Windows Desktop installation

  • Switch the device into mass storage.

  • Take note of the drive letter the Windows partition is using, here we will assume it got mounted as I:

  • Download [SurfaceDuo-Drivers-Full.zip] from https://github.com/WOA-Project/SurfaceDuo-Drivers/releases/latest

  • Extract said zip file to a folder of your choice, we will assume here we extracted it to C:\UpdatedDrivers

  • Download the DriverUpdater utility from https://github.com/WOA-Project/DriverUpdater/releases/latest

  • Open a command prompt as administrator, where the driver utility got downloaded

  • If your device is an EU device, execute the following command:

    DriverUpdater.exe -d C:\UpdatedDrivers\SurfaceDuo-Drivers-XXXX\definitions\Desktop\ARM64\Internal\epsilon_eu.txt -r C:\UpdatedDrivers\SurfaceDuo-Drivers-XXXX\ -p I:\

  • If your device is an USA device, execute the following command:

    DriverUpdater.exe -d C:\UpdatedDrivers\SurfaceDuo-Drivers-XXXX\definitions\Desktop\ARM64\Internal\epsilon_gen.txt -r C:\UpdatedDrivers\SurfaceDuo-Drivers-XXXX\ -p I:\

  • Reboot the device, the device will now begin PnP setup once again, and hopefully you will be back soon enough to your desktop
