-********************************************************************************
-Linux Image V2.1 Beta 2 (February 6, 2014)
-- U-Boot:
- - Add more UART configurations to the device trees allowing easy switching of
- the console UART port by changing the UART base address of the console node
- within the device tree.
- - Fix EHCI periodic list handling.
- - Add default VESA VGA vidargs for our now modedb enabled kernel. This allows
- easy specifying an alternate parallel RGB resolution.
- - Fix usbboot option to be more in-line with how we do optional MMC/SD card
- boot on Colibri VF50/VF61. Loads the uimage kernel from the first partition
- being formatted as VFAT and instructs the kernel to mount the second
- partition formatted as ext3 as root file system.
-- Linux kernel:
- - Use TPS6591X IRQ base define to calculate correct IRQ number.
- - Remove vdd_hdmi_con regulator from dc1 since we don't have a dedicated
- regulator for this connector on our baseboards.
- - Fix SATA suspend/resume by adding avdd_plle regulator.
- - Fix HDMI suspend/resume by avoiding division by zero oops.
- - Add GPIO keyboard configuration.
- - Use integer for root_bus_nr in Tegra PCIe driver.
- - Add STMPE ADC driver using IIO framework
- (see http://developer.toradex.com/knowledge-base/adc-(linux)).
- - Use modedb to specify framebuffer resolution (see
- http://developer.toradex.com/knowledge-base/framebuffer-(linux) and
- http://developer.toradex.com/knowledge-base/x-server-(linux)).
- - Check null pointers for sysfs calls.
- - Hack to avoid 24 Hz mode in X resulting in no display at all. This has been
- encountered using e.g. a Samsung SyncMaster F2380 if connected by HDMI.
- - Add kernel parameters to change RGB clock polarity.
- - Re-work Fusion multi-touch touchscreen driver.
- - Before updating modes on HDMI hotplug, check if framebuffer is registered
- at all. This allows to disable framebuffers completely.
-- rootfs / oe-core:
- - Fix build and texinfo errors for stress.
- - Add sections for both monitor outputs to xorg.conf. Add example
- configuration to disable an output as well as select preferred mode.
- - Add entry for fusion touchscreen driver to xorg.conf.
- - Add fstrim from util-linux.

- security thread but can cause serious trouble if for some reason UART
- pins are left floating and therefore cause unexpected break conditions.

- display controller DC1 is initialised. -> reboot required.
-- LVDS aka TFTLCD resolution hard-coded in kernel to full HD resolution,

-- lxappearance is segfaulting upon start
-- Gigabit Ethernet MAC address hard-coded to 00:0e:c6:87:72:01

-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
-- CRT: the T30 internal video DAC output is unsupported by NVIDIA's L4T Linux
- SW stack
-- 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)
