+- Booting:
+ - using the eMMC fast boot feature.
+ This requires fusing the bootmode irreversibly into the i.MX 6.
+ It will be done as part of the flashing process, refer to the flashing
+ instructions mentioned above.
+ Fast boot mode addresses issue 15990
+ http://developer.toradex.com/software/linux/linux-software/release-details?view=all&issue=15990
+- U-Boot boot loader:
+ - added updt_fuse command required for the change to fastboot mode
+- Linux kernel:
+ - updated to 3.14.52
+ - fixed PCIe operation with Evaluation Board PCIe switch
+ - fixed invalid #address-cells value which fixed issues with PCIe interrupts
+ - disable not serviced DCD/RI UART interrupts
+ - fixed bug preventing gpio-leds dtb configuration
+ - limit SPI clock to datasheet maximum of 18MHz
+- Linux user-space:
+ - deploy rttest package
+- OpenEmbedded build system:
+ - update OpenEmbedded from fido to jethro:
+ - Firefox 38.2.1esr
+ - gcc Linaro GCC 5.2-2015.11-2
+ - glibc 2.22
+ - systemd 226

+Known Issues:
+- PCIe suspend/resume issue
+- USB RNDIS is racy due to networkd bug and not started by default
+- some USB Thumb drives don't work well in U-Boot
+- USB hub on Evaluation Board not enabled 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.
