Do we change the 2018.08-rc1 release details after the fact ? Do we include this in the 2018.08 final announcement, even if it was already there in 2018.08-rc1 ? Best regards, Thomas

At first the support for i.MX8MQ processors was minimal, hence this section in the readme file. Since then, GPU support was added [1] in master and VPU in next [2]. So drop this section as it is confusing people and no one maintains it.

Also, would it be possible to update the release text [1] to mention i.MX8MQ graphics support? Something like: - i.MX Vivante graphics version bumped to 6.2.4.p1.2 adding support for Wayland and i.MX8MQ platforms Regards, Gary [1] http://lists.busybox.net/pipermail/buildroot/2018-August/227070.html --- board/freescale/imx8mqevk/readme.txt | 6 ------ 1 file changed, 6 deletions(-)
