It’s that time again for more security and bug fix updates to the official Nerves systems. We are now shipping with Buildroot 2019.08.2 and Erlang/OTP 22.1.7. None of these updates should break existing projects and we recommend moving to this release.
PocketBeagle users (nerves_system_bbb) can now use the pinmux helper for changing pin modes at runtime. We inadvertantly had this disabled. Hopefully this will reduce the number of people needing to delve into the depths of device trees and overlays to get their projects working.
Raspberry Pi 4 users: we still do not have a solution for video output. If you are making kiosks, please continue to use the Raspberry Pi 3 B/B+. The 3D accelerator software and hardware is different on the RPi 4. Partial work has been done, but it is on the backburner due to me being busy with other work.
Specific versions for the releases:
- nerves_system_bbb v2.4.2
- nerves_system_rpi* v1.9.2
- nerves_system_x86_64 v1.9.2
