+Linux Image V2.6 Beta 1 (March 31, 2016)
+
+- Booting:
+  - using the eMMC fast boot feature.
+      This requires fusing the bootmode irreversibly into the i.MX 6.
+      It will be done as part of the flashing process, refer to the flashing
+      instructions mentioned above.
+      Fast boot mode addresses issue 15990
+      http://developer.toradex.com/software/linux/linux-software/release-details?view=all&issue=15990
+- U-Boot boot loader:
+  - added updt_fuse command required for the change to fastboot mode
+- Linux kernel:
+  - updated to 3.14.52
+  - disable not serviced DCD/RI UART interrupts
+  - fixed bug preventing gpio-leds dtb configuration
+  - limit SPI clock to datasheet maximum of 23MHz
+- Linux user-space:
+  - deploy GPIOconfig now available for Colibri iMX6
+  - deploy rttest package
+- OpenEmbedded build system:
+  - update OpenEmbedded from fido to jethro:
+    - Firefox 38.2.1esr
+    - gcc Linaro GCC 5.2-2015.11-2
+    - glibc 2.22
+    - systemd 226
+    - Xorg 1.17.2

+
+Known Issues:
+- On the Colibri iMX6DL the RAM configuration is not patched correctly, thus
+    only 256MB are available. Fix in the 2015.04-toradex-next branch
+    available.
+- USB RNDIS is racy due to networkd bug and not started by default
+- some USB Thumb drives don't work well in U-Boot
+- 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
+- Display resolution can be set for some output configurations, set the U-Boot
+    environment variable vidargs accordingly.
+- X uses only the fb0 device
+- 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.
