- Linux 6.1 LTS (6.1.140) and 6.12 LTS (6.12.31) with KED backports and patches
- U-Boot 2024.01 with KED backports and patches (KED Bootloader 1.2.0-dev)
Core/Distro Changes (all HW Platforms)
- Update all meta layers
i.MX Platforms
- Update to Linux 6.1.140/6.12.31
- Enable TPM drivers in kernel
i.MX8MM Platform
- add support for Sitronix touch controller to DL i.MX8MM
i.MX8MP Platform
- Add i.MX8MP SMARC LVDS devicetree overlay
- i.MX8MP configuration added to KAS menu command
i.MX93 Platform
- Add basic support for i.MX93 hardware
- i.MX93 configuration added to KAS menu command
i.MX6UL/ULL Platform
For i.MX6UL(L) based devices there are two scripts to write the BSP firmware into the NAND (on SL) or eMMC (on BL):
- writing to NAND: ubi_flash_writer_usb.sh
- writing to eMMC: emmc_flash_writer_usb.sh
HINT: These scripts are provided as example how to equip the flash devices and might be adapted to special needs. They will not be further developed or maintained in future BSP releases.
Known Issues
- The onboard USB hub on the BL i.MX8MM doesn't work in U-Boot.
- Devices plugged into the USB-C port on a running Linux system on the BL i.MX8MP are not recognised under Linux. They are only recognised if the device was connected during boot-up.
- Kirkstone misses support for hardware-accelerated Wayland on i.MX8MP although GPU support has been backported by upgrading Mesa for this platform.
- The package
python3-pyqt5fails to build (see https://github.com/meta-qt5/meta-qt5/issues/585). A workaround is to use thekirkstonebranch formeta-qt5with an older patch release of Qt5.15.
