text: New Buildroot Release fsimx6sx-B2019.11 - efusA9X NXP i.MX6 SoloX - F&S Support Forum
  F&S i.MX6SX Buildroot Release (29.11.2019)
  So from now on we will use the year and month of the release instead, preceeded by a 'B' for Buildroot releases and a 'Y' for Yocto releases. For example the "B2019.13" of this release indicates a Buildroot based release from November 2019.
  5. Buildroot 2019.05.1
  6. New toolchain fs-toolchain-8.3-armv7ahf
  7. Default LVDS display replaced
  8. New driver for Silex WLAN
  To avoid this, from now on only the software related documentation is directly included in the release and we have added a chapter to FSiMX6SX_FirstSteps_eng.pdf that contains direct links to the appropriate resources on our website. There you can download the newest versions of hardware documentations, schematics, layout files, certificates, accessories, add-ons, adapters and similar things.
  The software documentation is completely reworked. The FSiMX6SX_FirstSteps_eng.pdf document now really only shows a basic introduction to the work with boards of the fsimx6sx architecture. And there is a new document LinuxOnFSBoards_eng.pdf that shows a more in-depth view of a Linux system in general and of the F&S versions of NBoot, U-Boot, Linux and Buildroot in particular. This is still work in progress, some chapters are not fully done yet and will be revised in the future. Check our website from time to time to see if there is a newer version of this document.
  The following list shows the most noticable changes in this release in more detail since our last regular i.MX6SX release (not counting the intermedieate release for PicoCoreMX6SX). Please note that the source code is also used for other platforms. This is why you will also find references to other CPU types and F&S boards here in the changelog.
  nbootimx6ul_39.bin (VN39) (14.11.2019)
  Supported Boards: efusA9X, PicoCOMA9X, PicoCoreMX6SX
  NBoot for i.MX6SX shares the source code with other i.MX6 CPU variants like i.MX6UL and the regular i.MX6, therefore versions are counted consecutively.

  Some additional information to the PicoCoreMX6MX display support.
  When using our Starterkit baseboard PicoCoreBBRGB, displays are often connected via an RGB adapter like the aST-ADP-EDT1. This adapter contains an analog resisitiv touch controller and an LED controller used to drive the display power and backlight brightness. Both devices are accessed via I2C and should be powered all the time. However the baseboard PicoCoreBBRGB has a small bug so that the power to these two chips also depends on the VLCD power. So if the display power VLCD is switched off when starting, which is the normal case, then the corresponding drivers do not find their devices and the whole touch and display power logic will not work at all. Which means the display can not be activated. So don't be surprised if the display does not work with the original device tree.
  We have added a workaround to the device tree file picocoremx6sx.dts. For using the workaround, you have to disable the default settings for VLCD_ON and activate a different setting, that is already provided as a comment. Then VLCD_ON is active at startup and the devices are found. This will work as long as the display is not blanked again. But of course this means you can not switch the display on and off as you like, it has to be constantly powered.
  Please note that this is only a bug on our baseboard, not on the PicoCoreMX6SX itself. If you provide your own baseboard, you can avoid this problem completely. We will fix this problem with the next revision of the PicoCoreBBRGB baseboard.
