********************************************************************************
+Linux Image V2.6.1 Beta 1 (September 29, 2016)
+
+- U-Boot boot loader:
+ - backport patches needed if compiling with GCC 6
+ - add fdt_fixup environment variable as a hook to modify device tree
+- Linux kernel:
+ - backport patches needed if compiling with GCC 6
+ - add support for RS-485 (#19323)
+- Linux user-space:
+ - deploy GPIOConfig V1.4 which corrects 'SODIMM Pin'/'EvalLoc' columns for
+ pads DI0_PIN15, NANDF_D4, NANDF_D6 and SD1_CLK
+ - improve fw_printenv/setenv concerning /etc/fw_env.config
+- OpenEmbedded build system:
+ - split meta-toradex into BSP layers meta-toradex-bsp-common and
+ meta-toradex-nxp as well as the software layer meta-toradex-demos
+ - rename the parent directory from stuff to layers
+ - mv from build/out*/deploy to deploy
+ - rename TMPDIR from out to tmp
+ - deploy qt5 tools into the sdk as part of optional angstrom-qt5-x11-image.bb
+
+- sources git.toradex.com tag Colibri_iMX6_LinuxImageV2.6.1Beta1_20160929
+ - repository linux-toradex branch toradex_imx_3.14.52_1.1.0_ga
+ - repository u-boot-toradex branch 2015.04-toradex
+
+Known Issues:
+- 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.
+- License texts do not get deployed to the root file system.
