In this round of releases, we have:
-
v4.4.9-11-ev3dev-ev3 for EV3.
-
v4.4.9-ti-rt-r25-11-ev3dev-bb.org for BeagleBone.
-
v4.4.9-11-ev3dev-rpi for Raspberry Pi 0/1.
-
v4.4.9-11-ev3dev-rpi2 for Raspberry Pi 2/3.
This release has come a bit sooner than expected because of a few serious bugs
in the release cycle 10 series.
Major Kernel Version Update
The big news is that all kernels are updated to v4.4.9. Both Raspberry Pi and
BeagleBone upstream have switched to the 4.4 series as their stable kernel. Both
were using a 4.1 kernel previously. So, since they got updated, we figured it
was a good time to get the EV3 kernel updated as well. It was on a 3.16 kernel
previously, so it is a much bigger upgrade. We’ve done our best to make sure we
didn’t break anything, but be sure to let us know if anything that was working
in a previous version is no longer working.
Fixes
- tacho-motor run-direct command not working
- Kernel deadlock when booting with EV3/UART sensors plugged in
- EV3/UART sensor not working on input port 4 on BeagleBone/EVB
New Driver
We also sneaked in a new driver. Thanks to @kortschak for getting the mindsensors.com
pressure sensor working!
