 ********************************************************************************

+Linux Image V2.0 Beta 1 (June 26, 2013)

+- U-Boot:

+  - initial integration

+  - integrate NVIDIA partition table parsing incl. Toradex Apalis configuration block

+  - adjust available amount of memory

+  - activate DVI-D framebuffer console

+  - increase CPU frequency at boot

+  - decrease boot delay

+  - fix overflow in HCD conversion

+- Linux kernel:

+  - hack to make newer SD cards work by adding a quirk for lack of 1.8v support

+  - revise Ethernet MAC address assignment

+  - fix PCIe AXI response decoding errors

+  - fix PCIe reset issue

+  - remove spurious tegra_aes_device

+  - video4linux adv7180 and max9526 integration

+  - fix PCIe by forcing GEN1 speed

+  - set board local critical temperature to 95°C

+  - hack to avoid 24 Hz mode in X resulting in no display at all

+  - silence extensive HDMI HDA audio messages

+- rootfs / oe-core:

+  - update to latest git revision for kernel and u-boot

+  - extend rootfs partition on eMMC to its full partition size on first boot

+  - unified update procedure for all T20/T30

+  - limit journal size

+  - nv-binaries: update to L4T R16.3

+  - added packages: gstreamer deinterlacer, scrot

+  - lxterminal, florence: fix garbled titlebar

+

+- sources git.toradex.com tag Apalis_T30_LinuxImageV2.0Beta1_20130626

+

+Known Issues:

+- We are in an early Beta state, not all functions are tested.

+- If a a monitor is connected to DVI, the kernel sometime hangs when the 

+  display controller DC1 is initialised. -> reboot required. 

+- LVDS aka TFTLCD resolution hard-coded in kernel to full HD resolution, 

+  comments with timings for other resolutions provided

+- lxappearance is segfaulting upon start

+- 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
