Release Notes[edit | edit source]

DAVE Embedded Systems adds to the latest Linux BSP from NXP the customization required to support the SOC platform. For this reason, most of the documentation provided by NXP remains valid for the DESK development kit.

However, some customization is required, in particular at bootloader and linux kernel levels.

The following table reports the DESK releases information.

200px-Emblem-important.svg.png

The DESK-MX8M-L-2.0.0 BSP and SDK can be installed starting from DESK-MX6-L 1.0.0 MVM. See the DVDK for release 2.0.0 installation how to for more information.
The DESK-MX6-L 1.0.0 MVM is available for download on DAVE's DESK-MX Reserved Area for registered users.

Release notes:

  • First release based on NXP BSP 5.4.70

Known Limitations[edit | edit source]

The following table reports the known limitations of this DESK release:

Issue Description
HDMI not working HDMI is not working on ORCA SBC. Device tree fixing is required

Release types[edit | edit source]

DESK release type can be:

  • Major, when substantial changes are applied to the BSP (eg: major kernel version upgrades) or to the development kit (eg: new features, build system updates, ..). This usually means that a new DVDK is created for the DESK release
  • Maintenance, when minor updates and bug fixes are introduced. This usually means that the DVDK remains the same provided with the previous major version, and only an update of the source tree repositories (and the tftp binaries) is required

As an example, DESK 2.1.0 is a maintenance release, so it provides the DVDK released with the 2.0.0 major release; customers can easily upgrade to the 1.1.0 release by updating the software components as described in Synchronizing git repositories.

Supported platforms[edit | edit source]

The following table reports the supported platforms in this DESK release:

Platform Description
SBC ORCA Single Board Computer using ORCA SOM as Evaluation Kit
SBC AXEL Single Board Computer using MITO 8M Mini SOM as Evaluation Kit
