# Digi Embedded Yocto (DEY) 2.4
## Release 2.4-r1
## Release 2.4-r2-beta
This document provides information about Digi Embedded Yocto,
Digi International's professional embedded Yocto development environment.
Digi Embedded Yocto 2.4 is based on the Yocto Project(TM) 2.4 (Rocko) release.
This is a beta release for the ConnectCore 8X SBC Express. The rest of the
platforms are supported but have not been fully tested.
For a full list of supported features and interfaces please refer to the
online documentation.

# Release Changelog
## 2.4-r2-beta
* Added support for ConnectCore 8X platform. Supported features:
* Bluetooth and Wireless interfaces (STA, SoftAP, P2P, Concurrence)
* MCA: Reset, Watchdog, RTC, GPIOs and ADCs
* SBC Express interfaces: Ethernet, microSD, UART, I2C, CAN, SPI, USB host,
USB device, GPIOs, XBee, LVDS Display, Touch Screen controller
* Graphics and Video
* Updated U-Boot to version 2017.03-r1
* Fixed XBee RESET_N polarity assertion. Requires updating polarity of the
``digi,reset-gpio`` property of node ``xbee`` on device tree files derived from
ConnectCore 6UL SBC Pro to use polarity **GPIO_ACTIVE_LOW**
## 2.4-r1
* Release based on [Yocto 2.4 (Rocko)](https://www.yoctoproject.org/downloads/core/rocko24) including:

## ConnectCore 8X
* i.MX8QXP Processor
* The following processor features are not supported in this BSP release:
Power Management, PWM, ADC, RS485. They will be implemented in future releases.
* VPU unit is not fully functional, hence hardware video encoding/decoding is
not available. On this release, video encoding/decoding can be done via
software plugins, reducing the performance of video playback. This will be
available in future releases of the hardware.
* GPU maximum performance reduced. The maximum frequency targets are 850 MHz
for the shaders and 700 MHz for the core. However, in this hardware release
the maximum frequency is limited to 650 MHz for the shaders and 600 MHz for
the core, with the corresponding performance reduction. These targets will
be met in future releases of the hardware.
* BSDL operation is not supported. It will be available in future releases
of the hardware.
* ConnectCore 8X System-on-Module (SOM)
* The UART connected to the Bluetooth chip on early versions of the ConnectCore
8X System-on-Module (hardware version = 1) cannot properly execute flow
control. To work around this issue, UART1 of these SOM versions has been
configured to operate at 115200 bps and without hardware flow control,
reducing the maximum throughput of this interface. It will be fixed in
future releases of the hardware.
* MCA firmware cannot be updated without a debugger on early versions of the
ConnectCore 8X System-on-Module (hardware version = 1). It will be fixed in
future releases of the hardware.
* MCA internal voltage reference cannot be enabled on early versions of the
ConnectCore 8X System-on-Module (hardware version = 1). It will be fixed in
future releases of the hardware.
* MCA tamper pins configuration is not supported. It will be available in
future releases.
* Trustfence (TM) is not supported. It will be available in future releases.
