-- sources git.toradex.com tag T30_LinuxImageV2.0Beta2_20130626
-
-Known Issues:
-- 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 VESA VGA 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

-Linux Image V2.0 Alpha 1 (January 22, 2013)
-- U-Boot:
- - moved to proper machine type
-- Linux kernel:
- - added one wire platform data (conditional, CONFIG_W1_MASTER_TEGRA must be enabled)
- - fix USB hang on device insertion
- - added correct spidev platform data (/dev/spidev0.0)
- - PWM B, PWM C, PWM D now accessible from userspace, /sys/class/leds/
- - refined pin muxing

- - updated audio codec driver, audio input now working
- - GPIO keys implementation
- - LP1 suspend support
- - moved to proper machine type
- - fix PMIC regulator platform data

-
-- sources git.toradex.com tag T30_LinuxImageV2.0Alpha1_20130122

-Known Issues:
-- We are in an early Alpha 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 VESA VGA resolution,
- comments with timings for other resolutions provided
-- some windows have garbled titlebar, e.g. lxterminal
-- lxappearance is segfaulting upon start
-- issues with the genext3.sh scripts: if your language settings expect
- something different to 'y' to a question, the script failes.
- The rootfs is empty resulting in a kernel panic during boot.
- Workaround: edit line 38 of bin/genext3.sh as follows:
- old: echo y | mkfs.ext3 $@ -L arm
- new: mkfs.ext3 -F -L arm $@

-Known Issues:
-- We are in an early Alpha 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.
-- When no device was attached to the USB host port during boot, the
- system crashes when one is attached when the system is up.

-********************************************************************************
-Notes:
-- 115200 baud serial debug console on UARTA aka FFUART (lower X25 on EvalBoards, X13 on Iris) without any handshake
-- user account: root with empty password
-- ext3 root file system
-- opkg package manager
-- HDMI: not all pixel clock frequencies allow for HDMI audio
-- CRT: the T30 internal video DAC output is unsupported by NVIDIA's L4T Linux SW stack
-- Linux host used for recovery mode flashing requires proper 32-bit execution environment (e.g. install ia32-libs on 64-bit Ubuntu)

-***********************************************
-
-Initial Preparation:
-- download and extract T30_LinuxImageVx.yz.tar.bz2 package with root permissions
-
-Flash eMMC:
-- EvalBoard V3.1a
- - connect USB B (X29) or USB micro A/B (X30) to development workstation using regular or micro USB cable
- - the jumper JP2 must be open
- - press and hold recovery mode switch (SW9) during power up
-- Iris V1.1a
- - connect USB micro A/B (X12) to development workstation using regular micro USB cable
- - short pin 1-2 of JP1 on Iris for RECOVERY
-(other carrier boards see http://developer.toradex.com/knowledge-base/colibri-recovery-mode)
-- make sure that the carrier board supports USB high speed
- - Iris & EvalBoard V3.1a OK, for other carrier boards see http://developer.toradex.com/knowledge-base/usb-2.0-high-speed-%28480mbps%29 )
-- apply power or reset
-- run update.sh script
-
-Boot from eMMC:
-- EvalBoard V3.1a
- - do no longer press SW9
-- Iris V1.1a
- - do no longer short any pins of JP1
-- power cycle
-- upon first boot post-install scripts are run which takes around 2 minutes, please be patient
