Yocto Linux for ADSP-SC5xx Processors - Beta Release for ADSP-SC589: Release Notes
Introduction
This release of Yocto Linux for ADSP-SC5xx Processors is a release specific to the ADSP-SC589 EZ-Kit Development Board. This release does not support other ADSP-SC5xx processors that are supported by the 1.0 Release of Yocto Linux for ADSP-SC5xx Processors.
The release contains an upgrade of all the key components to a recent LTS release. Support for other processors will follow shortly.
Future of this Release
Once the other existing processors have been upgraded to the same versions of U-Boot, Linux and Yocto, this release will be merged and all processors will be supported under a single 2.0 release. At that point, support for this release will cease. All future maintenance for the ADSP-SC589 will then be incorporated into the main Yocto Linux Release.
