Release 7.2

The primary goal of release 7.2 is to consolidate kernels and file systems from Intel's personal server, Intel's EcoSense, and UCLA's CENS projects.  

  • Kernel: Suspend/resume, GPIO/LED access, mesh networking, devfs, additional file type support, and new drivers for the card manager, hostAP, ohci fix, ov511, pwc, and USB flash.

  • Boot loader: upgraded to the 2.21.13 release with TFTP support added

  • File system: 2.3.2 libraries, added ftp, jove, fdisk, account management, ppp, uisp

Note: This file system was generated from more recent Handheld and Debian packages. This will have a significant impact on the file system. There are new capabilities and there may be missing features. Please let us know what is missing and it will be considered for the next release.

    • root.jffs2 - the root file system with modules - do not load modules separately.
