+Linux Image V2.6.1 Beta 1 (September 29, 2016)
+- U-Boot boot loader:
+ - backport patches needed if compiling with GCC 6
+ - autodetect SoC and set soc environment variable accordingly
+ - set soc environment variable also in recovery mode (#20568)
+ - patch device tree with serial number, product id and revision properties to
+ make that information available in Linux
+ - configure PMIC for suspend/sleep modes
+ - fix writing of first firmware copy
+ - print warning about upcoming NAND change:
+ WARNING: This module uses an early tapeout/stepping
+ of the i.MX 7 SoC which suffers a NAND flash issue
+ requiring a software workaround. This U-Boot version
+ still implements this workaround, but future U-Boot
+ versions provided by Toradex will not use the
+ workaround anymore. You must use a newer Colibri
+ iMX7 (V1.1B or later) to use future software
+ versions. For evaluation and testing purposes it will
+ be possible to keep the current U-Boot and only
+ update the kernel and root filesystem.
+- Linux kernel:
+ - merge changes from latest NXP release 4.1.15_1.2.0_ga
+ - backport patches needed if compiling with GCC 6
+ - enable audio clock earlier (and pinmux MCLK) to properly fix initialization
+ - enable USB power (USBH_PEN) also on Colibri iMX7 Solo (required for Aster/
+ Orchid/Viola carrier boards)
+ - honour native-mode in display timings node
+ - add SODIMM pin 45 as wake-up key
+ - control BL_ON (using the PWM backlight drivers enable-gpios property)
+ - add PWM polarity support (#18164)
+ - disable internal RTC on Colibri iMX7 Solo (currently not functioning)
+ - enable USB OTG device/host detection on USBC (#19050)
+ - improve pinmuxing (disable conflicting pinmux on multiplexed pins and fix
+ conflicting pinmux on pins which are pulled on carrier board)
+ - keep 240MHz system clock on which allows to start the Cortex-M4 core via
+ JTAG
+ - synchronize defconfig (#19484)
+- Linux user-space:
+ - none
+- 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_iMX7_LinuxImageV2.6.1Beta1_20160929
+ - repository linux-toradex branch toradex_imx_4.1.15_1.0.0_ga
+ - repository u-boot-toradex branch 2015.04-toradex
+
+Known Issues:
+- display resolution can be set in the device tree
+- flashing the ubifs rootfs with U-Boot may fail on V1.0 HW
