1 1 OverviewThis document contains important information about the package contents, supported features, known issues and limitations in this Release is a consolidated Release for Kernel upgrade and supports SoC in the 6, 7, and 8 series boards that have been released before, and they have been full tested and the production quality is General Availability (GA). They have been through automated testing to verify patches that were added after last GA document includes information for all previously released active SoCs and this can be used as context only for understanding this Release . A future consolidated GA Release will test and support all previously released GA SoCs listed information on changes in this Release , see the manifest Readme at index: and the Change Logs at index: reference boards 8 Series 8 ULP EVK Board 8M Plus EVK Board 8 DXL EVK Board (Proto 1B: board revision Rev.)
