CoreCDP 2.3.4 Release Notes

CoreCDP 2.3.4

CoreCDP 2.3.4 was released on June 23, 2015.

CoreCDP 2.3.4 is a maintenance release that adds LTE radio support and security fixes.

Changes since 2.3.3
  • Updated at91bootstrap with fast SDRAM slew rate (MTCDP) and updated NAND flash support
  • Added driver support for LTE socket modems
  • Bash updated to 3.2.54 (fixes Shellshock CVEs)
  • glibc patched for GHOST vulnerability
  • Updated ca-certificates
  • Lighttpd 1.4.35
  • Fixed openjdk-6 new build issues
  • mt100eocg-pcie-dk: update wl1271 firmware to R5.SP4.01, fix default wl1271-nvs.bin
Known Issues
  • In order to reset the radio for H5 models, the user must call the /usr/sbin/radio-reset-h5 script rather than using the standard mts-io method. This script disables all USB host ports while the radio is reset. If the script is not used, the radio will fail to reset and will not function until properly reset.
  • CoreCDP 2.3.x won’t build on Ubuntu 13.04 or later. Please use a supported distribution from the list below. Ubuntu 12.04 LTS is highly recommended.
  • OpenJDK doesn’t build on all Linux distributions, see the list below for more information.
  • To build OpenJDK on CentOS 6.5, SELinux should be disabled (run ‘setenforce 0’ as root)
  • venus-gps usage doesn’t show the supported “host:port” syntax for –tcp-client option.
  • sms-utils is not supported on CDMA/EVDO radios (EV2, EV3)
Supported Linux distributions for build system
  • Ubuntu 10.04 to 12.10 (12.04 recommended)
  • Debian 6 and 7 (recommended)
