Introduction

The AVENGER Board is a 96Boards compliant consumer edition board based on the STM32MP15 series of SoCs. The STM32MP15 series is a highly integrated multi-market applications processor designed to enable secure and portable applications within the Internet of Things. AVENGER board features Dual-core Arm® Cortex®-A7 processors operating at up to 650 MHz, Single core Arm® Cortex® M4 operating up to 209 MHz. In addition, an extensive set of interfaces and connectivity peripherals are included to interface to cameras, touch-screen displays, MMC/SD cards and media processor engine. It also fully supports wireless communication, including WLAN and BLE.

OpenSTLinux-4.19-thud Image Changelog

Changelog v4.1.0 to v5.0.0:

tf-a now supports pure eMMC boot on silicon revision 2.1, rev Z
init script moved to meta-av96-scripts repo, manifest file moved to manifest-av96 repo. meta-av96 layer is now totally independent of the manifest and init scripts.
meta-av96 now uses STM32MP15-Ecosystem-v1.2.0
meta-av96 and av96-5.0.img uSD card image now support the “apt-get” feature of STM32MP15-Ecosystem-v1.2.0

Changelog v3.2.0 to v4.1.0:

STMIPID02 and D3 camera mezzanine patches added, OV5640 camera can be tested with the default Weston GUI.
Source folder structure reworked. meta-av96 now uses a ‘repo’ manifest-based setup. ‘thud’ branch created and folder structure resembles more the ST way.

Changelog v2.1.0 to v3.2.0:

U-Boot sets ethernet MAC address from 24AA02 EEprom
mmc0 now supports switching to 1.8V, UHS-I cards speeded up
HW version 1 added to U-Boot device tree, U-Boot now checks HW version of the actual Avenger96 board
Flashlayout file generation fixed, no need to change Flashlayout files manually before programming nor+emmc

Changelog v2.0.3 to v2.1.0:

HDMI max resolution fixed, it’s 1280x720@60Hz again
DRAM size in U-Boot fixed, Linux now sees the whole 1GB
UART0 and SPI now supported on low-speed extension connector
tpm2-tools and tpm2-tss-engine for openssl added, TPM2.0 chip on Tresor board supported by openssl

Changelog v2.0.2 to v2.0.3:

DHCP server running at usb0 network interface

Changelog v2.0.1 to v2.0.2:

Supported features in U-Boot: UART, DDR3, QSPI, uSD, eMMC, ethernet
PRODUCT_BELOW_2V5 fix in U-Boot
Supported features in Linux: UART, uSD, eMMC, USB host, USB OTG, HDMI, GPU, WiFi, Bluetooth, Gbit ethernet
STM32CubeProgrammer can initialize NOR, eMMC, uSD
Avenger96 can boot from uSD or NOR+eMMC
BSP contains a single meta-av96 layer and a readme.txt
BSP builds the whole uSD or NOR+eMMC image in a single step, no extra file operations are needed
Standard STM32MP157C-DK2 demo runs on Avenger96: WiFi hotspot, video playback with sound, 3D demo

Improvements compared to av96 v2.0.1:

SDMMC1,2,3 order fixed, build process simplified
WiFi fixed
Sound over HDMI, GPU support (there was no GPU in v2.0.1 because of EULA issues during build)
Bluetooth support, dummy soundcard added for BT (not tested yet)
QSPI, eMMC in U-Boot, PRODUCT_BELOW_2V5 programming added -> Gbit ethernet
STM32CubeProgrammer can initialize NOR, eMMC, uSD (a single manual modification of flashlayout files is still needed for NOR+eMMC boot -> needs to be documented yet)

Changelog v1.2 to v2.0.1:

Switch to ST v1.0.0 SDK with 4.19 kernel
Till now, not all features of v1.2 (based on beta1 release of ST with 4.14 kernel support) are supported with v2.0.1 release
NOT working: QSPI in U-Boot and Linux, eMMC in U-Boot, WiFi, …
Working interfaces: HDMI, Ethernet, USB, uSD card and Gigabit ethernet (on board with programmed PRODUCT_BELOW_2V5 fuse)

Changelog v1.1 to v1.2:

/home/root folder contains simple OpenAMP demo
HSLVEN_QSPI fix (from ST) was added to make QSPI boot work again with PRODUCT_BELOW_2V5 programmed

Changelog v1.0 to v1.1:

Updated U-Boot which programs the PRODUCT_BELOW_2V5 fuse if necessary and reboots the board
BUCK3 voltage changed to 2.5V which enables Gbit ethernet support
Icon added in Weston for starting glmark2-es2-wayland
/etc/issue contains version info
Reduced display resolution of HDMI
