Release Notes

Release Date:  December 21, 2012

Introduction

This is release 04.06.00.09 of the AM335x Linux PSP. The PSP is part of the Sitara SDK. This PSP release supports:

• BeagleBoard Bone (version A3 and above)
• AM335x Evaluation Module (version 1.1A and above)
• AM335x Evaluation Module-StarterKit (version 1.2B and above)

The Linux PSP serves to provide a fundamental software platform for development, deployment and execution of Linux based applications on Texas Instruments silicon.

The code base for Linux kernel, U-Boot and power management firmware included in this release is hosted at the following repositories:

Component	Repository & Branch	Release Tag
Linux Kernel	http://arago-project.org/git/projects/?p=linux-am33x.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/v3.2-staging (The kernel obtained directly from the above repository needs PM firmware to build when building using default configuration. Link to PM firmware repository containing the firmware binary is available below in this table. Copy the firmware binary .bin file into the firmware/ folder of the kernel sources)	v3.2_AM335xPSP_04.06.00.09-rc2
U-Boot	http://arago-project.org/git/projects/?p=u-boot-am33x.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/amsdk-05.06.00.00	v2011.09_AM335xPSP_04.06.00.08
Power Management Firmware	http://arago-project.org/git/projects/?p=am33x-cm3.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/master	AM335xPSP_04.06.00.09-rc2

Dependencies

Tool/Component	Description	Release Version	Required for
Code Composer Studio (CCS)	IDE and ARM compiler	5.1.0.09000	Building CCS based flash writers
Arago Toolchain	GCC ARM cross compiler	2011.09 (GCC 4.5.3)	Building Linux kernel, U-Boot, Linux examples

Feature Addition:

• RTC Runtime PM Support
• TSC/ADC: IIO and MFD framework migration
• ADC driver support
• tps65217: Set PMIC to shutdown using RTC module
• USB PHY Wakeup support

    Note: Since in DS0 usb wakeup can not be supported on current silicon, by default USB wakeup is kept disabled.

• CPSW: Promiscuous mode support
• CPSW: Support the HWTSTAMP ioctl and the CPTS

• PWM: ecap: Resets the PWM output to low on stop
• net: ethernet: fix kernel OOPS when remove davinci_mdio module
• SDOCM00094923: NFS mount fails with "DHCP/BOOTP: ignoring delayed packet" messages
• mtd: nand: omap: fix race condition in omap_wait()
• mtd: nand: omap2: Fix for uncorrectable error
• mtd: nand: omap2: Fix bit flip in data area due to bit flip in OOB
• mtd: nand: omap2: Fix ECC read for 16-bit NAND part
• ARM: OMAP2+: am335x: Fix xbar channel implementation for odd channels
• SDOCM00085443 - ARM: OMAP2+: am335x: Change the wdt1 func clk src to per_32k clk
• SDOCM00086716 - Fix omap_hwmod wdt2: _wait_target_disable failed error message
• ARM: OMAP: AM33XX: PM: Fix potential deadlock in resume process due to MPU leaving GPIO0 enabled
• USB:
