Hello,
our releases are currently based on the imx-linux releases (which is currently at 6.1) and we are not planning to mainline our device trees in the near future.
We are currently working on a 5.15 release, where you could find the pre-release sources here
https://github.com/FSEmbedded/linux-fus-pre
If the imx-linux releases are on the mainline kernel, we may consider to add them, too.

Hello,
we have no experience with OpenWRT and are not planning to support it soon.
I guess it could be possible to adapt the imx_openWRT image to F&S boards but in will not be easy and will most likely not be compatible with the F&S boot concept.
I guess you will have to build your own imx-u-boot with the adaptions for your specific F&S boards.
The F&S Kernel could maybe work.

Hello Paul,
yes the j070wvtc0211 is supposed to work with the picocoremx8mp eval kit and the pre release.
In your device tree you disabled lvds1 and lcdif1.
For the picocoremx8mp the default LVDS port is DSI_B, which are the middle pins of the display connector.
DSI_B is also connected to lvds1 and lcdif1 of the SoC.
Do you have a cable, where the blue/white colored wires are connected to the middle of the connector, and not the edge?

Hello,
we have further investigated the issue and a Hotfix would be to mute the Lineout before rebooting
amixer sset 'Lineout' mute
reboot
We will create a patch that will do this automatically when unloading the driver.
This however will not fix the issue if the Board is resetted by a Hardware reset.
We will have to further investigate this.
Your F&S Support Team
Hello,
we can reproduce the issue if we play a sound in Linux and reboot.
We than here a frequent noise starting from Uboot until the SGTL driver loads.
The issue does not occur from a cold start.
Is this correct?
We will have to further investigate on this.

There is no GPU hardware acceleration for on IMX8. You can try to build X11 with software acceleration only, but this will not be very performant.
We have no description on how to do this and can not support it.
Weston/Wayland has a RDP backend for remote display control. A description on how to use it can be found on:
https://www.fs-net.de/assets/d…n/LinuxOnFSBoards_eng.pdf
Chapter 8.20 RDP
Also I saw that TeamViewer offers an experimental Wayland backend but we never tested it.

Hello,

F&S i.MX8M-Mini Yocto Release Y2021.04.2 (fsimx8mm-Y2021.04.2)
Please see the file
doc/FSiMX8MM_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 minor release for all F&S boards and modules based on the i.MX8M-Mini CPU (Solo, Dual and Quad), i.e. PicoCoreMX8MM. 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.
fsimx8mm-Y2021.04.2.tar.bz2
This is the main release itself containing all sources, the binary images, the documentation, examples and the toolchain.
sdcard-fsimx8mm-Y2021.04.2.tar.bz2
If you copy the contents of this archive to an SD card, you can install our precompiled standard system in a very straightforward and comfortable way on the board. The SD card archive is meant for people who just want to try a release first without having to download the quite large main archive. Its content is also contained in the main release archive, so if you want to download the main archive anyway, you don't need to bother with the SD card archive.
These tar archives are compressed with bzip2. So to see the files, you first have to unpack the archives
This will create a directory fsimx8mm-Y2021.04.2 that contains all the files of the release.
Please read the file doc/FSiMX8MM_FirstSteps_eng.pdf. It describes the first steps when working with the board and gives references to further reading.
=========================================================================
Known Issues
The Link LED of the PicoCoreMX8MMr2 revision 1.00 is inverted. It will be on, if no link is detected and off if a link is detected.
The Activity will be indicated through blinking as expected. Unfortunately, this can not be fixed by software.
=========================================================================
Here are some highlights of this release.
1. Support for PicoCoreMX8MMr2
Add support for the new PicoCoreMX8MMr2 board version, that features the rtl8211f ethernet phy.
2. Rework Device Tree structure
Derive the device trees for the picocoremx8mm and picocoremx8mmr2 from a common picocoremx8mm.dtsi, so changes can be easily applied to both of them.
3. Improve the rtl8211f phy support
Improve the realtek phy by making the following features configurable:
- Disable CLKOUT
- ALDPS mode
- Spread-Spectrum Clocking for RXC, SYSCLK and CLKOUT
- Setting one LED for each: link indication and activity
- Disable GBit
=========================================================================
The following list shows the most noticeable changes in this release in
more detail since our last pre i.MX8M-Mini release. 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.

Hello,
please use fsimx8mm_wayland_defconfig for i.MX8MM.
We decided to not use the term "std" anymore to make it more transparent that there is no X11 support for i.MX8 boards anymore.
All config giles can be found in the configs/ directory in the buildroot main directory.
