Hi Everyone,

So RC2 is now out, all the "wl18xx" based devices now have working
Bluetooth again, config: CONFIG_SERIAL_SC16IS7XX completely broke it..

I'm planning to do the "full" burn in testing this Saturday, my targets are:

Windows 10 (2004)
Debian
Mac OS (Mojave, Catalina)

Here is what i did last 'time' which took about a full day of none stop testing:

https://github.com/beagleboard/Latest-Images/issues/26

Please reply with more things to verify..

Now GSOC students, please reply with still un-merged patches and what
kernel they are targeting. I'd like to get all these projects built
and merged by this Thursday, then we can do a final "RC" next week,
that may turn into "FInal"..

Regards,

Forgot to add, in all the "Buster" v4.19.x images, u-boot overlays is
enabled out of the box:

So the BBAI with FAN cape will run at full frequency. ;)

Would anyone else like a u-boot patch for PocketBeagle such that EEPROMs at address 0x57 on either I2C1 or I2C2 would have cape identifiers such that GamePup, TechLab, and Grove PocketBeagle Capes would automatically load overlays?

Hi Robert,

The wiki page at https://elinux.org/Beagleboard:Latest-images-testing has some outdated info on the Sumer 2020 Release.
While the RC2 is marked (properly) has released in August 26, it says the final version was released in August 3rd!

Best regards,
José Gonçalves

Hi Robert,

Is there an updated schedule for the next stable image release?
I assume there are some blocking issues that prevented the Summer release to took place, inittialy postponed to Fall, acording to the Latest-image-testing wiki.
May we know what issues are preventing a new stable release? 

Best regards,
José Gonçalves

Blocking items I know about:
* BeagleBone AI rev A2 SuperSpeed USB verification - haven't debugged why it may be slower
* PocketBeagle cape overlay support

I think we need to address items at https://github.com/beagleboard/Latest-Images/milestone/2 and then a release can finally be made.

Fortunately or unfortunately, there has been a lot of development and it is taking some time for things to settle.
