Please see the file
doc/FSiMX8MP_FirstSteps_eng.pdf
for a description of how everything is installed and used. This doc sub-directory also contains other documentation, for example about the hardware of the boards and the starter kits.
This is a maintenance release for all F&S boards and modules based on the i.MX8M-Plus CPU (Solo, Dual and Quad), i.e. PicoCoreMX8MP(r2), armStoneMX8MP, efusmx8mp or SMARCMX8MP (FSSMMX8MP). More boards may be added to this family in the future.
All these boards can work with software that is created from this release package.
Please note that Yocto releases use a 'Y' for the version number. The version counting is independent form other releases.
The release consists of the following files and directories:
- README.txt Release notes (this text)
- setup-yocto Script to download and install the Yocto release
- fs-release-manifest.xml Release Manifest, containing the used versions as git hashes
- binaries/ Precompiled images (full names)
- sdcard/ Precompiled images (names as expected by install script)
- doc/ Hardware and software manuals, schematics
