# Release Information
!!! info "Prebuilt Image Download"
On the ["Releases" page in the GitLab
project](https://git.kontron-electronics.de/sw/ked/meta-ked-bsp/-/releases)
you can find download links for prebuilt binary images for our reference
hardware.
## v6.0.0
!!! note "Version Number"
The v6.0 release is the first version of the BSP. We are using this
version number to indicate that this is the successor of the legacy
i.MX Dunfell BSP with version number v5.0.
### General
* Usage of `kas` integration tool, replacing the custom scripts used in previous
BSPs
* Usage of a new monorepo `meta-ked-bsp`, replacing the build and meta layer
repositories used in previous BSPs
### Components
* Yocto 4.0 LTS "Kirkstone" (layers compatible with 3.1 LTS "Dunfell")
* Linux 6.1 LTS with KED backports and patches
* U-Boot 2023.04 with KED backports and patches

### Breaking Changes compared to Dunfell BSP (5.0)
* SPL and U-Boot proper images are now merged into a single `flash.bin` instead
of two separate images.
* SPI NOR partitioning and offsets have been altered:
* single partition for U-Boot and SPL
* changed offset for environment to the end of the SPI NOR
* changed offset for U-Boot proper to be the same on SPI NOR and eMMC
* U-Boot environment was reworked
* SWUpdate configuration was optimized
* Naming of layers, distro, images, etc. has been changed from `ktn` to `ked`
### Known Issues
* The onboard USB hub on the BL i.MX8MM doesn't work in U-Boot.
* The A/B boot scheme can be bricked by multiple updates with a broken kernel
image.
[^1]: Basic support doesn't include all features of the board. Especially
advanced peripherals like display, graphics, hardware acceleration units,
camera interfaces, etc. might not be supported or tested yet.
