This is our release layer with readme describing how to download at
http://git.freescale.com/git/cgit.cgi/imx/fsl-arm-yocto-bsp.git/tree/README?h=imx-3.10.31-1.1.0_alpha

This release includes

-          Upgrades the Vivante graphics to 5.0.11.

-          Upgrade to kernel version 3.10.31

-          Release also includes Freescale's Gstreamer 1.0 version.

-          New imx6sxsabresd i.MX 6 SoloX SABRE-SD board .

-          Upgrade to Wayland version 1.4

-          Upgrade to Direct FB version 1.7

-          Freescale Gstreamer 1.0 support

-          QT5 support for X11, FB and Wayland backends

-          New image recipes for building without QT and with QT that work on all backends.

Please note that graphics are alpha quality and should not replace the 3.10.17 GA graphics.  The kernel links to 3.10.31 alpha graphics so if you plan to use new kernel with 3.10.17 graphics you need to at least revert the 1fc33c819ab3bea79f0faf75e6daf9583ca9beec<http://git.freescale.com/git/cgit.cgi/imx/linux-2.6-imx.git/commit/?h=imx_3.10.31_1.1.0_alpha&id=1fc33c819ab3bea79f0faf75e6daf9583ca9beec>.

We are aware of some regressions in this new graphics which is why we are only upstreaming this release into the master branch.

Let me know if you have any questions.

And for those looking for documentation, now that GA is out our 3.10.17 documentation is out on freescale.com.   We are currently working on revamping the documentation for 3.10.31.   What is on freescale.com does not include information on SoloX yet.
