It provides all required components to get this embedded target up and = running, and is dedicated for beginners in the embedded world. And for = experienced users it can act as a quick start for their own development = as well. Please note: This will be the last release of the Mini2440 BSP on a monthly = base. This platform is well supported now, so this BSP needs more maintenan= ce = than development. I will change to "one release per quarter" now. This will = still ensure the BSP keeps track of new Linux kernel releases. I will also = still add Linux kernel stable releases and fix bugs if they occur. If one = depends on this kind of changes/fixes she/he must use the GIT repository up = to the next quarter release. = Updated Features: ----------------- - PTXdist-2011.12.1 =A0 - minor updates and bug fixes all over the place - new OSELAS.Toolchain-2011.11.0 - gcc-4.6.2 - binutils-2.21.1a - glibc-2.14.1 - Kernel 3.1, stable release 6 - kernel 3.0, stable release 14 - udev rule to distinguish touchscreen, button and buzzer device fixed to make it work with USB based mice (thanks to Wingston for the report) - beside the small Qt4/QWT demo this BSP now comes also with a Qt4/QML demo to show the new scripting features of Qt4 (thanks to Josef for the code) Please note: You can still use the OSELAS.Toolchain-2011.03.1 to build this = new BSP release. Just change the toolchain settings in the platform = configuration. But please keep in mind I did not test this release with the = older toolchain (it should still work, maybe, most of the time....).
