Interim Ubuntu 17 04 ISO with mainline v4 12 rc6 kernel RTL8723BS and Broadcom Wifi BT firmware UCM audio files and full 32 bit bootloader support
Update: This work is superseded by my isorespin.sh script which can respin an official ISO suitable for use on Intel Atom devices.
Latest linuxium-v4.12-rc6-ubuntu-17.04-desktop-amd64.iso kernel respun using v7.1.0 of isorespin.sh with log file of:

Respun ISO created as linuxium-v4.12-rc6-ubuntu-17.04-desktop-amd64.iso.
This time Ive used the Ubuntu 17.04 ISO ubuntu-17.04-desktop-amd64.iso and Ive updated the kernel with the v4.12-rc6 mainline build and also added my wifi/bt firmware package rtl8723bs_4.12.0_amd64.deb, my Broadcom wifi/bt firmware script linuxium-install-broadcom-drivers.sh installed by running wrapper-linuxium-install-broadcom-drivers.sh and my ALSA UCM audio files script linuxium-install-UCM-files.sh installed by running the wrapper-linuxium-install-UCM-files.sh.
The respun ISO can be downloaded from linuxium-v4.12-rc6-ubuntu-17.04-desktop-amd64.iso and written to a USB using dd.
On booting if bluetooth fails to start automatically then it can be started manually with the command:
sudo systemctl start rtl8723bsbt.service
or
sudo systemctl start brcmbt.service
depending on wifi chip.
See my earlier posts for further details about the scripts and how to use them or wait for my new documentation which will be posted soon.
