-This is the first release of a new series for the Snapdragon 600 Linux Platform. Going forward, the Linaro member monthly builds for Snapdragon 600 will be providing a kernel based on the most recent Linux kernel ("www.kernel.org":https://www.kernel.org) available at the time of the release. The goals of the Linaro Release are to align with the latest Linux Kernel, close the gaps in features provided and migrate from the existing 3.4 vendor kernel. One immediate consequence of this migration is that some regressions are expected. Current regressions include: lack of audio support, video hardware acceleration, bluetooth and support for running CPU beyond 1Ghz.

* Audio is currently not supported in this release.
* Some recent IFC6410 or Compulab QS-600 boards come with more recent bootloaders pre flashed (e.g. the bootloaders from Inforce Android Kit Kat release), and display clocks cannot be enabled properly. See "this email":http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/freedreno/2014-November/000135.html for more information. The solution is to downgrade the bootloader, as explained in the email above.

* Few software codecs are installed by default; you might install additional codecs such as @gstreamer1.0-plugins-bad@ or @gstreamer1.0-plugins-ugly@.
* Once you have flashed the boot partition with a valid boot image, the board will automatically boot that image when powered on. To avoid automatically booting you can jumper the board as explained in this "page":http://mydragonboard.org/2013/forcing-ifc6410-into-fastboot/.
