New Release: Yocto Dunfell v1.4 for i.MX8M Mini System on Modules

Release date: 04/01/2021

Variscite is pleased to inform about the Yocto Dunfell release v1.4 for its i.MX8M Mini System on Modules.

Modules: DART-MX8M-MINI, VAR-SOM-MX8M-MINI

Release: dunfell-fslc-5.4-2.1.x-mx8mm-v1.4

Details:

• Filesystem:
  Yocto Dunfell (based on the FSL community BSP).
• Linux kernel:
  Variscite 5.4-2.1.x-imx_var01 branch (based on FSL community branch 5.4-2.1.x-imx, which is based on NXP’s Linux 5.4.24_2.1.0 release and the Linux mainline kernel 5.4.85).
• U-Boot:
  Variscite imx_v2020.04_5.4.24_2.1.0_var02 branch (based on NXP branch imx_v2020.04_5.4.24_2.1.0, which is based on U-Boot v2020.04).

Noteworthy updates since release 1.2:

Release 1.4

• Fixed CAN controller pins: the MCP2518FD driver does not use the TX-INT pin, so removed GPIO1_15 from the CAN controller pins

Release 1.3

• Added support for VAR-SOM-MX8M-MINI rev. 1.3 with improved performance of the MCP251XFD CAN controller.
  Note: older VAR-SOM-MX8M-MINI revisions need DT adjustments for correct CAN operation – See: https://variwiki.com/index.php?title=VAR-SOM-MX8M-MINI-CAN
