    Hi

    We do have the plan to expand support on linux but don’t have the exact date on it. It will be update timely in the Operating System Support link that I have provided to you. We apologize for the inconvenience happens.

    We have not heard from you and I hope that my last note clears up this matter. I will now transition this thread to community support. If you have a new question, feel free to open a new thread to get the support from Intel experts. Otherwise, the community users will continue to help you on this thread. Thank you.
