********************************************************************************
+Linux Image V2.0 Beta 1 (June 26, 2013)
+- U-Boot:
+ - initial integration
+ - integrate NVIDIA partition table parsing incl. Toradex Apalis configuration block
+ - adjust available amount of memory
+ - activate DVI-D framebuffer console
+ - increase CPU frequency at boot
+ - decrease boot delay
+ - fix overflow in HCD conversion
+- Linux kernel:
+ - hack to make newer SD cards work by adding a quirk for lack of 1.8v support
+ - revise Ethernet MAC address assignment
+ - fix PCIe AXI response decoding errors
+ - fix PCIe reset issue
+ - remove spurious tegra_aes_device
+ - video4linux adv7180 and max9526 integration
+ - fix PCIe by forcing GEN1 speed
+ - set board local critical temperature to 95°C
+ - hack to avoid 24 Hz mode in X resulting in no display at all
+ - silence extensive HDMI HDA audio messages
+- rootfs / oe-core:
+ - update to latest git revision for kernel and u-boot
+ - extend rootfs partition on eMMC to its full partition size on first boot
+ - unified update procedure for all T20/T30
+ - limit journal size
+ - nv-binaries: update to L4T R16.3
+ - added packages: gstreamer deinterlacer, scrot
+ - lxterminal, florence: fix garbled titlebar
+
+- sources git.toradex.com tag Apalis_T30_LinuxImageV2.0Beta1_20130626
+
+Known Issues:
+- We are in an early Beta state, not all functions are tested.
+- If a a monitor is connected to DVI, the kernel sometime hangs when the
+ display controller DC1 is initialised. -> reboot required.
+- LVDS aka TFTLCD resolution hard-coded in kernel to full HD resolution,
+ comments with timings for other resolutions provided
+- lxappearance is segfaulting upon start
+- connecting an analogue mic to the on module codec resets the codec, so that
+ neither headphone out nor mic in works anymore. Workaround: Have mic
+ connected before boot or change the output source between DAC/LineIn
+- certain low-speed USB devices might not get detected
+- on first boot the resizing process adversely affects system performance for
+ the first few minutes until completed
