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.

Issue Description

Downloadable binary images[edit | edit source]

All binary images for DESK-MX9-L are hosted on DAVE Embedded System mirror server. There you can find a sub directory for each version of this development kit.

U-Boot performs a container image providing a single file: flash.bin. The binary file must be stored into SD card using dd command.

A summary of images with a brief description can be found in the table below:

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 1.1.0 is a maintenance release, so it provides the DVDK released with the 1.0.0 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:
