Contents:
- U-Boot 2011.06 boot loader
- Linux 3.1.10 kernel, based on NVIDIA's Linux for Tegra (L4T) release 16-r3
-- OpenEmbedded oe-core 2012.10 based root file system, using LXDE desktop environment
+- OpenEmbedded oe-core 2013.06 based root file system, using LXDE desktop environment
Licensing:
- proprietary multimedia codecs included for evaluation purpose only
- customer required to obtain proper re-distribution license
********************************************************************************
+Linux Image V2.1 Beta 1 (October 22, 2013)
+- U-Boot:
+ - Fix possible uninitialised array member issue in serial number to
+ hexadecimal coded decimal conversion routine (e.g. as used for
+ /proc/cpuinfo in Linux).
+- Linux kernel:
+ - Fix several HDMI hang issues.
+ - Support default watchdog API (see
+ http://developer.toradex.com/knowledge-base/watchdog-(linux)).
+ - Disable magic SysRq key configuration as this is not only a potential
+ security thread but can cause serious trouble if for some reason UART pins
+ are left floating and therefore cause unexpected break conditions.
+ - Add DDR speed definition for 400 and 800 MHz.
+ - HDMI: Retry EDID reads up to 4 times until failing.
+
+- rootfs / oe-core:
+ - OpenEmbedded: layers updated to dylan
+ xserver update to version 1.14
+ gtk+ updated to 2.24.15
+ firefox update to 10.0.11esr
+ connman now has a command line tool, connmanctl
+ split the meta-lxde layer from oe-tworaz and serve it from
+ git.toradex.com
+ - NEON enabled build
+ - hdmi: add udev rule to start an X output on hotplug
+ - feed-config: use the new feed armv7ahf-vfp-neon
+ - evdev: backport V2.8.1 from dora to get a fix for multitouch events
+ - burnflash: script for configblock generation
+ - added packages: ethtool
+ - burnflash: change the Colibri image names to start with Colibri
+ - burnflash: add sanity checks
+
+- sources git.toradex.com tag Colibri_T30_LinuxImageV2.1Beta1_20131022
+
+Known Issues:
+- LVDS aka TFTLCD resolution hard-coded in kernel to VESA VGA resolution,
+ comments with timings for other resolutions provided
+- 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
