2018-05-25:

  • ArduPilot updated:

    • ArduRover: 3.3.0
    • ArduCopter: 3.5.5
    • ArduPlane: 3.8.5

  • new packages for kernel and headers

    RPI's raspberrypi-kernel and raspberrypi-kernel-headers packages substitute with version for Navio. This allows to install packages dependent on raspberrypi and libraspberrypi.

  • kernel updated to v4.14.34

  • Raspberry PI 3 Model B+ support

  • emlidtool: 1.0.6

  • rcio-firmware: 1.5.4-1.2

  • rcio-dkms: 1.0.0:

    • Virtual GPIO support
    • Support for kernels >= 4.10

  • removed rpi-update package

  • removed WBC support

2017-03-23:

  • preinstalled ArduPilot with systemd scripts:

    • Arducopter: 3.4.6
    • ArduPlane: 3.7.1
    • APMrover2: 3.1.2
    • ardupilot.service: 0.9.0

  • Wi-Fi broadcast support

  • preinstalled ROS Indigo

    ros-indigo-mavros is held back to discourage updates: ROS Indigo depends on 0.17.x versions of mavros which doesn't handle properly some Boost error handling. Hence some monkey patching is needed.

  • make Emlid distribution fully compliant with official Raspbian

    This means that all packages that depend on libraspberrypi0 and raspberrypi-bootloader will work as expected. For example sudo apt-get install python-picamera will work

  • add python3, python3-pip, mavproxy, droneapi, tmux

  • emlitool: 0.8.6

  • fix rcio-dkms updates:

    rcio.dtbo could get not regenerated for newer kernels. The latter is now part of raspberrypi-kernel-emlid package.

  • fixed /boot/wpa_supplicant.conf issue that made it dissapear after the first boot

  • miscellaneous bugfixes

2016-07-18:

  • Added driver for rtl8812-based Wi-Fi dongles
  • Moved image snapshot closer to upstream
  • Updated rcio-dkms to 0.6
