+The EfikaMX platform (Genesi Efika Smartbook and Genesi EfikaMX nettop) has
+been supported in &debian; 7 with a platform-specific kernel, but is not
+supported anymore from &debian; 8 onwards. The code required to build the
+formerly used platform-specific kernel has been removed from the
+upstream Linux kernel source in 2012, so Debian cannot provide newer
+builds.
+</para><para>
+Using the armmp multiplatform kernel on the EfikaMX platform would require
+device-tree support for it, which is currently not available.
