+Linux Image V2.4 Beta 1 (May 18, 2015)
+- U-Boot:
+ - update to U-Boot 2015.04
+ - add generic Toradex config block handling, print exact product description,
+ board revision and serial number to the console
+ - add command to restore Toradex config block ("cfgblock create")
+ - optionally create device-tree properties which make board information
+ available from within Linux userspace through procfs (/proc/device-tree/
+ serial-number, toradex,board-rev and toradex,product-id)
+- Linux kernel:
+ - integrate NVIDIA L4T R16.5
+ - optional ADV7280 analogue video decoder support
+ - fix eMMC issues by retrying commands up to 10 times
+ - media: fix work of analog cameras
+ - enable module versioning support
+ - initial support for IT modules
+ - fix/improve optional 1-wire driver
+ - SPI driver fix number of words in transfer
+ - cleaned-up module configuration/deployment
+ - SGTL5000 analogue audio codec driver improvements
+- Linux user-space:
+ - update OpenEmbedded from daisy to dizzy:
+ - glibc 2.20 (instead of eglibc)
+ - systemd 2.18
+ - Xorg 1.14.7
+ - updated various LXDE packages to newer versions
+ - libgstomx fix to validate input frame rate
+ - build tegrarcm using static cryptopp library to avoid issues e.g. on 64-bit
+ Fedora
+ - replace full NTP daemon with systemd's NTP client only systemd-timesyncd
+ - blacklist USB RNDIS for connman, use systemd-networkd to configure RDNIS
+ network interface (new standard IP of the module is 192.168.11.1!)
+ - enable BusyBox resize command to resize the terminal on serial console
+ - optionally deploy device-tree

+
+Note:
+- mount point names changed from /media/<block device name> to /media<label>
+- no SD boot integration yet but copying cbootimage to beginning of SD card
+ will at least boot
+
+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
+- flash_eth.img requires manual splitting of the root.ext3 file.
+ see the colibri-t30_bin/flash_eth.scr script
+- LP1 suspend might fail due to pending USB interrupts
+- LP1 suspend might hang due to display controller issue
