+Linux Image V2.5 Beta 2 (November 6, 2015)
+- U-Boot boot loader:
+  - add return code for cfgblock commands which allows scripting
+  - increase TFTP blocksize for better performance
+  - fix framebuffer console regression
+  - integrate display driver
+  - enabled zero bootdelay check (allows entering U-Boot when bootdelay is 0)
+  - move environment to the end of the eMMC boot area before the config block
+- Linux kernel:
+  - integrate ASIX USB-to-Ethernet driver 4.17.0
+  - fix USB performance regression
+  - integrate various eMMC fixes
+  - fix USB host device detection with Colibri OTG driver
+  - changed Fusion multi touch event reporting to adhere to multitouch slot
+  - fix HS UART HW buffer overrun issue
+- Linux user-space:
+  - updated to latest Angstrom 2015.06/OpenEmbedded fido:
+    - glibc 2.22
+    - systemd 219
+    - Xorg 1.16.1
+  - glibc: force memcpy_arm to improve memcpy performance
+  - fw_printenv/setenv: follow U-Boot environment move
+  - fix USB RNDIS operation
+  - nv-conf-systemd: cpu hot-plug configuration and startup
+- OpenEmbedded build system:
+  - change default tune to Thumb-2
+  - local.conf: add Toradex source mirror as pre-mirror
+- Update scripts:
+  - Ethernet aka TFTP update: provide option to split rootfs output file
+  - update.sh: delete intermediate files after use
+  - improved update.sh to use module type specific folders allowing update of
+    different modules with just one update media

+  - repository u-boot-toradex branch 2015.04-toradex
+
+Known Issues:
+- 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
+- on first boot the resizing process adversely affects system performance for
+    the first few minutes until completed
+- Ethernet aka TFTP update requires manual splitting of the root.ext3 file
+    which can be taken care of by the -c argument of our update.sh script.
+- LP1 suspend might fail due to pending USB interrupts
+- LP1 suspend might hang due to display controller issue

-************************************************************
-eMMC Boot: Colibri T30 V1.1b, V1.1c, V1.1d or V1.1e (Sample)
-************************************************************
-
-Initial Preparation:
-- download and extract Colibri_T30_LinuxImageVx.yz.tar.bz2 package with root
-    permissions
-- use any VFAT formatted SD resp. micro SD card with at least 1000 MB of free
-    space
-- run update.sh script with -o argument pointing to mount point of
-    above mentioned card
-
-Flash eMMC:
-- EvalBoard V3.1a
-  - depending on JP17/19 connect serial debug console to UARTA aka FFUART
-    (lower X25) using null modem RS-232 cable resp. X27 using a regular USB
-    cable
-  - insert above prepared SD card into SD/MMC socket (X15)
-- Iris V1.1a
-  - connect serial debug console to UARTA aka FFUART X13 using null modem RS-232 cable and a
-      10 pin IDC to 9 pin D-sub male connector. (DTK or Intel standard)
-  - insert above prepared micro SD card into micro SD card socket (X10)
-- Boot to U-Boot prompt and start the update:
-  - apply power or reset
-  - hit any key to stop auto booting
-  - if you update from a previous image use the following U-Boot commands:
-      setenv drive 1
-      setenv setupdate 'mmc dev ${drive}; mmc rescan; fatload mmc ${drive}:1 ${loadaddr} flash_blk.img; source ${loadaddr}'
-      saveenv
-  - use 'run setupdate' U-Boot command and then
-  - use 'run update' U-Boot command unless you are updating from an older image
-    in which case:
-    - use 'run update_uboot' command and power cycle or reset and hit any key
-      to stop auto booting
-    - use 'env default -a' command followed by 'saveenv' command
-    - power cycle or reset again and hit any key to stop auto booting
-    - use 'run setupdate' U-Boot command and then
-    - use 'run migrate_v2.3b1' U-Boot command
-
-Boot from eMMC:
-- EvalBoard V3.1a
-  - do no longer press SW9
-- Iris V1.1a
-  - do no longer short any pins of JP1
-- power cycle
-- upon first boot post-install scripts are run which takes around 2 minutes,
-    please be patient
-
-If the boot loader on the module got corrupted this recovers it by loading U-Boot
-  over USB into the module's RAM and executing it there:
-- EvalBoard V3.1a
-  - connect USB B (X29) or USB micro A/B (X30) to development workstation using
-      regular or micro USB cable
-  - the jumper JP2 must be open
-  - connect serial debug console as stated above
-  - press and hold recovery mode switch (SW9) during power up
-- Iris V1.1a
-  - connect USB micro A/B (X12) to development workstation using regular micro USB
-      cable
-  - connect serial debug console as stated above
-  - short pin 1-2 of JP1 on Iris for RECOVERY
-(other carrier boards see http://developer.toradex.com/knowledge-base/txx-recovery-mode)
-- make sure that the carrier board supports USB high speed
-  - Iris & EvalBoard V3.1a OK, for other carrier boards see
-      http://developer.toradex.com/knowledge-base/usb-2.0-high-speed-%28480mbps%29
-- have the module in recovery mode and load U-Boot over USB to the module's RAM:
-  - lsusb should show a '0955:7130 NVidia Corp.' device if the module is in recovery mode
-  - run ./update.sh -d
-  - stop at the U-Boot prompt and begin the update as stated above
