Ampliphy Linux Mainline
Our BSP includes a distro called ampliphy-linux-mainline, which tracks the latest tagged Linux versions. Refer to the chapter Build the BSP for instructions on selecting and building this distribution, or use the pre-built images provided with the BSP-Yocto-Ampliphy-AM62x-PD24.1.1 release.
Note
Currently, we do not provide a mainline U-Boot version within our Yocto BSP.
