v1.5.0

This release updates the Linux kernel from 4.4 to 4.14.71.

• Enhancements

  • Added Alsa utils aplay and amixer for audio support.
  • Added espeak a speech synthesizer for text to audio.
  • Automatically reboot if the Linux kernel panics (defaults to a 10 second
    delay before the reboot)

• Updated dependencies

  • nerves_system_br v1.5.2
  • Linux 4.14.71 with patches from the Raspberry Pi Foundation
  • Erlang 21.0.9

v1.4.0

This release contains various updates to provisioning variables and data.

Host requirements

Building firmware using this system requires fwup to be updated on your
host computer to at least v1.2.5. The target minimum version requirement
has not changed from 0.15.0.

Serial numbers

Device serial numbers are now set using NERVES_SERIAL_NUMBER instead of
SERIAL_NUMBER. This is to reduce ambiguity on the source of the serial
by name spacing it along side other Nerves variables. The U-Boot environment
key has also changed from serial_number to nerves_serial_number. The
erlinit.config has been updated to provide backwards compatibility for setting
the hostname from the serial number by checking for nerves_serial_number
and falling back to serial_number.

Custom provisioning

Provisioning data is applied at the time of calling the fwup task complete.
The complete task is executed when writing the firmware to the target disk.
During this time, fwup will include the contents of a provisioning file
located at ${NERVES_SYSTEM}/images/fwup_include/provisioning.conf. By default,
this file only sets nerves_serial_number. You can add additional provisioning
data by overriding the location of this file to include your own by setting
the environment variable NERVES_PROVISIONING. If you override this variable
you will be responsible for also setting nerves_serial_number.

be used to unambiguously know what's running on a device.

• Updated dependencies

  • nerves_system_br v1.2.2

• Bug fixes

  • Empty serial numbers stored in the U-Boot environment would be used instead
    of reverting to devices IDs built into the CPU or board.
  • It wasn't possible to enable QtWebEngine (needed for kiosk apps)

v1.1.0

This release adds official support for provisioning serial numbers to devices.
Other information can be provisioned in a similar manner. See the README.md for
details.

Buildroot was also updated to 2018.05. Be sure to review the nerves_system_br
link for the changes in the embedded Linux components.

  • nerves_toolchain v1.0.0
  • nerves v1.0.0

v1.0.0-rc.1

This release contains updates to Erlang and heart from nerves_system_br and
mostly cosmetic changes to this project. The trivial .fw files are no longer
created by CI scripts. If you've forked this project and are building systems
using CI, make sure to update your publish scripts.

• Updated dependencies
  • nerves_system_br v1.0.0-rc.2

v1.0.0-rc.0

• Updated dependencies
  • nerves_system_br v1.0.0-rc.0
