A new release of the Emcraft Embedded Linux distribution is now available, and it now includes the Linux kernel 4.2 running on the STM32F746 MCU.

The Linux kernel ver. 4.2 is a big improvement compared to the previously supported version 2.6. Thousands of people participated in this development. Here are a few specific improvements that may benefit you in your next project:

• Support for new USB, Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth devices;
• An ability to mount large flash file systems quickly, shortening boot up time;
• More options for profiling and debugging.

Active customers are invited to download the release 2.1.0 here. Or, here is a link to the release notes.
