New In This Release

This is the first release so all features supported in the Features section are new to this release. See below for some specific interface details.


  • Android
    • Version: Nougat-MR1 (7.1.1)
    • Connectivity
      • WiFi: Wilink8 support
      • Ethernet: Gigabit on ETH1 port (see Known Issues)
    • Displays
      • Parallel (via LVDS): LCD-018-070 7" display with capacitive touch (EDT-FT5406)
      • HDMI
    • Storage
      • USB1, USB2, SATA, SD, and PCIe storage devices all automatically mount as removable storage
    • Audio
      • Stereo playback available out of X13 (Headphones) and X15 (Line Out)
      • HDMI
  • Kernel
    • Version: v4.4.45
  • U-Boot
    • Version: v2016.05
    • Boot
      • MLO and u-boot.img can load from SD or eMMC based on boot switches. The Android Filesystem and kernel will always load from eMMC.
    • Environment
      • The U-Boot environment is stored in eMMC.

Fixed In This Release

N/A

Known Issues

  • Android
    • Ethernet: ETH0 is available from the kernel but is not configured properly in the AFS.
    • Backlight: The Android brightness slider does not adjust the actual display brightness on the parallel display.
    • CAN: canutils package (cansend, candump) is not part of the current AFS so there are no available SocketCAN utilities.
    • Camera and Music built-in applications are not functional.
  • Kernel
    • QSPI: Possible read failures on flash devices with HOLD function (Erratum i916). A software workaround has been implemented to limit QSPI to DIO-SPI mode and use internal weak pull-ups. The hardware workaround is to disable the internal pull-ups and add 10k pull-ups on X_QSPI1_D2 & X_QSPI1_D3.
    • PCIe: Native Command Queuing (NCQ) is unsupported and will need to be disabled if using a PCIe device that utilizes this feature.
  • U-Boot
    • Boot: Booting the kernel and rootfs are currently only supported from eMMC.
