There may be huge changes to the software and the distribution method in the future.
Please report any bugs in this thread.
!!ATTENTION!!
Building the Pre-Release
1. Download the virtual machine F_S_Development_Machine-Fedora_40_V0.2.ova from My F&S Tools-Linux/VirtualMachines/Fedora40/64-bit (i.MX9)/ and import it to VirtualBox.
2. Run git clone https://github.com/FSEmbedded/releases-fus.git to clone the repository. Go to releases-fus/
3. Run git checkout fsimx93-Y2024.09-pre
4. Run ./setup-yocto <BUILDIR_NAME> and go to <BUILDIR_NAME>/yocto-fus/
5. Run DISTRO=fus-imx-wayland MACHINE=fsimx93 . fus-setup-release.sh
6. Run bitbake fus-image-std
Attention
The bootloader does not supported F&S nboot and based currently on NXP sturcture. Be careful to use other bootloader versions.
Here are some highlights of this release.
1. New Linux Kernel 6.6.x
The Linux kernel is now based on 6.6.x
- EEVDF replaces the existing CFS code scheduler
- ReiserFS Officially Declared "Obsolete"
- KSMBD Declared Stable
- CephFS Completes Multi-Year Effort Adding FSCRYPT Support.
- EXT4 Lands A Nice Performance Improvement
- Tmpfs Gains New Features
- NFS Enables NFSv4.2 READ_PLUS Option By Default
- Brings Fixes, Partially Recovers From Scrub Performance Regression
- Adding Randomized Kmalloc Caches (Linux Security)
- Various Security improvments (Linux Security)
- Various kernel graphics improvements
...
Many other improvments.
(https://www.phoronix.com/review/linux-66-features)
Of course there are also many changes for other CPU types (like x86) and other graphics cores (like AMD, Nvidia, Intel) but these are not of interest here.
Based on NXP version lf-6.6.23-2.2.0
2. New bootloader U-Boot 2024.04
The U-Boot is now based on 2024.04.
NXP version lf-6.6.23-2.0.0
3. New Yocto version 5.0 scarthgap
Updating Yocto to Version 5.0 Scarthgap. This provides many new package
versions. We have also updated the poky layer to version 5.0.3
4. Improved Image versioning
5. New Release concept over github
We now provide our Linux gits over github at https://github.com/FSEmbedded. All release and pre-release states will be pushed here. For now, we will not push each single commit to github.
Also the release sources are not added to the release tar anymore, but will be downloaded from github during the setup process.
The versions of the different gits of a release can be looked up in the fs-release-manifest.xml file in the release tar directory.
6. New Azurewave wlan driver
Additional to the mainline SD-BT-8997 driver we now provide the NXP version. This driver supports additional security features, optimized. STA and AP modes and improved roaming.
To activate the nxp mlan driver uncomment the respective lines in: recipes-kernel/kernel-modules/files/mxm-wifiex.conf Also comment out the line for the mainline mwifiex driver.
Please note that bluetooth is currently not supported with the nxp-mlan driver. For Bluetooth please use the mainline driver.
The following list shows the most noticeable changes in this release in more detail since our last release for this platform. Please note that the source code is also used for other platforms. This is why you will also find references to other CPU types and F&S boards here in the change log.
