Novena firmware changelog

linux-image-novena_3.19-novena-r10

This kernel replaces linux-3.17-novena-rc5. It improves thermal performance and adds more drivers. It does not yet include 3D acceleration.

• Removed galcore driver, preventing 2D and 3D acceleration from working. Previous releases had issues with memory corruption.
• Fixed Hibernate support. To gain Hibernate support, you will need to increase the size of partition 2 (the swap partition).
• Attempt to improve reliability of eDP board, making the screen more stable. Thanks to Job for a resume-from-hibernate patch.
• Improve I2C reliability, making devices more likely to be detected on boot.
• Set RTC to 12uF, which improves reliability of clock when board is powered off.
• Enable many more modules, at the request of the community.

u-boot-novena_2014.10-novena-r2-rc17

This bootloader replaces the previous -rc12 release. It does not update the SPL file at the start of the disk, as the SPL has not changed.

• Add IT6251 LCD support.
• Add "lidbootblock" flag to prevent board from booting when lid is shut.

novena-eeprom_2.1-1

• Add "lidbootblock" flag to legal flag list

novena-usb-hub_1.3-r1

• Reset the Mini PCIe USB port on suspend/resume, to improve Bluetooth reliability.
• Install novena-usb-hub as setuid.

firmware-senoko_2.2-r1

This is a new package that contains firmware for the Senoko power supply board. This package is recommended for all users.

• Fix I2C lock bug. This improves I2C performance on Novena as well.
• Increase thresholds for battery powerdown. This makes it less likely that the battery will be deeply discharged.
• Enable WFI when Senoko is idle. This will reduce power consumption slightly.
• Increase the charge thread from 2.5 seconds to 55 seconds.
