Freeze
vs. Developer version
| The freeze version
of an operating system undergoes comprehensive testing in
combination with the freeze version of U-boot / BIOS. After testing,
this version is frozen and is considered as an optional
fallback to a known functional state. |
| A developer version is
usually newer than the freeze version and it may contain
additional features or bug fixes. A developer version undergoes
only preliminary testing, in combination with the currently
used U-boot, which is not guaranteed to be a specific version.
In general, a developer version is expected to be more advanced and
cleaner; however, to due limited testing, this may prove
otherwise. |
| Please read the
revision notes of the freeze and developer archives to learn about
the differences between them. |
| CompuLab recommends
using the most recent (i.e. developer) version of an operating
system, unless the user finds its performance unsatisfactory.
Bug reports and technical support questions should all refer
to the most recent version, as it is the only version
maintained and updated by our engineering team. |
| Developer page
specifies archive size and date of developer version. The achieve
date of the freeze version can be checked by
downloading and reviewing its revision notes. |
| It is recommended
(but not mandatory) to upload the card with the U-boot / BIOS of the
same version (either freeze or developer) as that of the operating
system in use. |
