## Changes from 6.0.0 to 6.1.0-dev (work in progress)
### Integrated Components
* Yocto 4.0 LTS "Kirkstone" (4.0.10). Layers compatible with 3.1 LTS "Dunfell"
* Linux 6.1 LTS (6.1.29+) with KED backports and patches
* U-Boot 2023.04 with KED backports and patches

### Common changes for all plattforms
- Start of virtual terminal on tty0 deactivated in ktn distro (`USE_VT = "0"`)
### Changes for i.MX8 plattform
- none
### Changes for i.MX6 plattform
- Added support for DPI display interface on BL boards (configuration `imx6ull-kontron-dl`)
- u-boot: Default device tree boot configuration changed from `imx6ul-kontron-bl`
to `imx6ull-kontron-dl`
- linux: Changes in kernel config
- Virtual terminals deactivated (`CONFIG_VT`)
- Most resistive touch drivers removed
### Changes for STM32 MP1 plattform
- none
### Breaking Changes
- i.MX6: Default u-boot configuration changed from SOC `ul` variant to `ull`
variant. So for `ul` variants the boot config has to be adapted manually in
u-boot environment now!
### Known Issues
Currently none
## 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
### General Information
* 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
### Integrated 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

* The onboard USB hub on the BL i.MX8MM doesn't work in U-Boot.

the location of the U-Boot environment on i.MX8MM (SPI NOR, SD card, eMMC).
