+Linux Image V2.1 Beta 3 (March 18, 2014)
+- U-Boot:
+  - Enable hardware boot partition support (via 'mmc dev [dev] [part]' command).
+  - Get rid of the spurious 'video=tegrafb' kernel boot argument and add
+    'noatime' to the usbargs.
+- Linux kernel:
+  - Initialise high speed UART with lower default baudrate to avoid issues.
+  - Merge with NVIDIA's latest L4T R16.4 kernel.
+  - Fix the disabling of PCIe GEN2 capabilities.
+  - Added OmniVision OV7670 and Texas Instruments TVP5150 V4L2 drivers.
+  - Added initial Aptina AS0260 V4L2 driver.
+  - Solved low framerate issue with analogue cameras.
+- rootfs / oe-core:
+  - nv-binaries: update to L4T R16.4
+  - Added gst-plugins-good-jpeg
+- sources git.toradex.com tag Apalis_T30_LinuxImageV2.1Beta3_20140318
+
+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
+- certain low-speed USB devices might not get detected
+- on first boot the resizing process adversely affects system performance for 
+    the first few minutes until completed
