+Release Notes: Linux Image V2.x for Apalis TK1
+***********************************************
+
+Contents:
+- U-Boot 2015.04 boot loader
+- Linux 3.10.40 kernel, based on NVIDIA's Linux for Tegra (L4T) release R21.5
+- Angstrom 2015.12/OpenEmbedded jethro/Yocto 2.0 based root file system, using
+ LXDE desktop environment
+
+==> Flashing instructions can be found on the Toradex developer article:
+http://developer.toradex.com/knowledge-base/flashing-linux-on-tegra-modules
+
+Licensing:
+- proprietary multimedia codecs included for evaluation purpose only
+- customer required to obtain proper re-distribution license
+
+********************************************************************************
+Linux Image V2.6 Beta 2 (July 1, 2016)
+
+- U-Boot boot loader:
+ - first release
+- Linux kernel:
+ - first release
+- Linux user-space:
+ - first release
+- OpenEmbedded build system:
+ - integrate watatuki's meta-jetson-tk1 based on L4T R21.4
+ - first release
+
+- sources git.toradex.com tag Apalis_TK1_LinuxImageV2.6Beta2_20160701
+ - repository linux-toradex branch toradex_tk1_l4t_r21.5
+ - repository u-boot-toradex branch 2015.04-toradex
+
+Known Issues:
+- power consumption under full load may exceed the carrier boards power budget
+ see http://developer.toradex.com/products/apalis-tk1#errata for more infos
+- if no HDMI screen is connected pcmanfm will consume 100% CPU which can be
+ worked around by removing '/usr/bin/xrandr --output LVDS-0 --off' line from
+ /etc/xdg/lxsession/LXDE/autostart
+- License texts do not get deployed to the root file system.
+
+********************************************************************************
+Notes:
+- 115200 baud serial debug console on UARTA aka UART1 (EvalBoard lower X28 resp.
+ X29 depending on JP10/12, X22 on Ixora) without any handshake
+- user account: root with empty password
+- eMMC: partition 1: vfat with kernel, partition 2 ext3 root file system
+- opkg package manager
+- HDMI aka DVI-D: not all pixel clock frequencies allow for HDMI audio
+- Linux host used for update preparation requires proper 32-bit execution
+ environment (e.g. install ia32-libs on 64-bit Ubuntu), awk and libusb
+ (e.g. install gawk and libusb-1.0-0 on Ubuntu)
