**IMPORTANT**: This release updates the firmware of the _System Control Unit_ (SCU).
This is an NXP proprietary firmware and its last version is **not compatible** with
the previous one released on DEY-2.6-r1. As a consequence:
* Old U-Boot v2018.03-r1 **cannot boot** images from this release DEY-2.6-r2.
* New U-Boot v2018.03-r2 **cannot boot** images from previous release DEY-2.6-r1.
To succesfully run DEY-2.6-r2 images you need to update the U-Boot on your device.
