What's Supported:

The 04.06.00.11 release is a minor release. Refer to the AM335x-PSP 04.06.00.10 Release Notes.

New in this Release:

• Support for PG 2.1 and PG 2.1 EVMS
  
• Support for Beaglebone Blackl. HDMI support not included.
  

Kernel:

• PM
  
  • Enable RTC wakeup for standby on PG 2.1 silicon
    

U-boot:

• NOR support
  

Fixed in this Release

Kernel:

Fix for Advisory 1.0.15 "ARM Cortex-A8: OPP50 Operation on MPU Domain Not Supported"

Fix for Errata i103 "Delay needed to read some GP timer, WD timer and sync timer registers after wakeup (OMAP3/4)"

USB:

• musb: gadget: rxdma fix when data rcvd before usb request queued
  
• cppi41: g_multi gadget fixes in dma mode
  

U-boot:

Attempt to minimize the impact of Advisory 1.0.24 "Boot: System Boot is Not Reliable if Reset is Asserted While Operating in OPP50"

Known Issues:

• ADC: No trigger method supported.
  
• PM: Standby:
  
  • USB connect/Disconnect wakeup will not work, since we only support GPIO based wakeup and use MPU_WAKE patch and connect/disconnect goes via different patch through PHY_WAKE to CM3.
  • Ethernet wakeup is not tested, since ETH PHY wakeup signal is not connected to GPIO.
    
• PM: Smart Reflex:
  
  • Harmless warning message "smartreflex smartreflex: get_errvolt: SR 1: Same AvgError for 2 s"
    
• SDOCM00100099 DUT does not go into suspend state if USB DMA is enabled
• SDOCM00099909 There is a mismatch between Uboot and kernel regarding SPi partition table
• SDOCM00099624 Resume fails when dual_emac option is not enabled in config
• SDOCM00099622 Audio/Video capture test results in uvcvideo: Failed to resubmit video URB (-1).
• SDOCM00099621 USB reset events seen with simultaneous data and control traffic in PIO mode
• SDOCM00099444 Internal ADC clock division check not required
• SDOCM00099314 AM335X: USB: minor audio glitch/noise observed when new device inserted to one usbport while playing audio through other port
• SDOCM00100316 USB Mouse HID event stops being a wakeup source if preceded by Mouse disconnect/connect wakeup source
• SDOCM00100303 DUT does not go into suspend state when it is acting as USB MSC device
