Our 3.10.31-1.1.0 Beta release is now in field trial to be completed by next
week. My team will be up-streaming this release next week into master-next
branch.
This release has the following new features
- Kernel upgrade to 3.10.31
- Supports new i.MX6 SoloX SabreSD machine
- U-Boot-imx upgrade to 2014.04 version
- New GPU Vivante version v5
o Supports OpenGLES 3.0 APIs with backward compatibility with
earlier version APIs.
o DirectFB 1.7.1
o Wayland 1.5
o Xorg 1.15
o Qt5 fixes for X11, Wayland and Framebuffer backends on i.MX
parts containing 3D GPU.
o i.MX 6 SoloLite fixes for DirectFB, Wayland and frame
buffer backends.
o fsl-gpu-sdk version 1.2 supporting all backends.
- Multimedia Features
o Freescale Gstreamer 1.0 support
o Gstreamer 0.1 Fixes
o Upgraded VPU firmware and wrapper software
o G2D integration
We have a question to community. Our 3.10.31-1.1.0 GA release is not
public/released until January. We have two options for upstream of 3.10.31
into meta-fsl-arm and would like feedback from community.
- Option 1 - Upstream 3.10.31 beta into master-next branch and branch master
with 3.10.17 once Yocto Project 1.7 name is announced in late Sept or early
October
o This means that 3.10.31-1.1.0_beta will be in master-next branch
during September.
o Also means Freescale will get less feedback from community to fix
for our 3.10.31-1.1.0 GA release.
o 3.10.31-1.1.0 GA will be part of Yocto Project 1.8 release only in
April 2015.
- Option 2 - Upstream 3.10.31-1.1.0 Beta into master branch and remove 3.10.17
from master branch.
o This means Yocto Project 1.7 release will not be production code
for i.MX6 until our 3.10.31-1.1.0 GA release planned in January.
o Allows earlier production release of 3.10.31-1.1.0 GA with SoloX
and Graphics as part of Yocto Project 1.7 in January.
o Beta is not supported (by freescale/for production/by SR). However
bugs can be sent to imx-community and if time before GA code freeze Freescale
can try to fix in our GA release.
Please provide your feedback. Freescale prefers Option 2 because we can get
more feedback about bugs to fix in our 3.10.31-1.1.0 GA release but we will
abide by community wishes if they prefer Option 1.
Thanks,
Lauren Post
Yocto Project i.MX Team Lead
