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
- tar xvf fsimx8mm-Y2021.04.2.tar.bz2
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.
