********************************************************************************
+Linux Image V2.5 Beta 3 (December 15, 2015)
+- U-Boot boot loader:
+ - disable delete-null-pointer-checks compiler flag (needed on Tegras)
+ - use is_cpu_type() to detect module type as relying on RAM size might fail on
+ Colibri iMX6 if DCD is not yet updated to 64-bit DDR bus on Colibri iMX6DL
+ - clear flags for special PHY modes on phy_reset() to fix Ethernet after
+ rebooting from Linux
+- Linux kernel:
+ - enable RTL8192CU driver e.g. for LM006 USB Wi-Fi stick
+ - fix power off by stop mode avoiding stack trace
+- Linux user-space:
+ - make sure USB RNDIS Gadget is started before networkd
+ - use new Toradex feed server as default feed URI
+- OpenEmbedded build system:
+ - fix memcpy.patch to apply to Linaro layer and openembedded layer glibc
+ - remove create_configblock.sh from deployment tarball
+ - add rtl8192cu firmware for LM006 USB Wi-Fi adapter
+ - add README with dependency and contribution information
+ - backport rtl8192cx for latest available firmware
+- Update scripts:
+ - move partconf setting to be done last to avoid any issues when migrating
+ from V2.4
+
+- sources git.toradex.com tag Colibri_iMX6_LinuxImageV2.5Beta3_20151215
+ - repository linux-toradex branch toradex_imx_3.14.28_1.0.0_ga
+ - repository u-boot-toradex branch 2015.04-toradex
+
+Known Issues:
+- USB RNDIS is racy due to networkd bug
+- some USB Thumb drivers 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.
