- e2fsprogs 1.43
- MicroPython 1.8

TC scripts also updated to latest common base. Except ncurses which doesn't build properly all packages in the repo updated and rebuilt using the new toolchain, not just copied over from 6.x/7.x repos. Dependencies revised, may be different to previous versions. It means limited number of packages in the repo, e.g. Xorg and graphical stuff are missing.

Only one SD card image available, it works on all RPi boards. Download location:

Please try it and share your experience, bugs found, etc.

 :) worked, tested on pi 3b. Nothing graphical because not yet compiled? It will be available, right?

Hi Béla

  Just been testing WiFi on latest beta and there is a missing dependency; wireless_tools.tcz is missing from wpa_supplicant.tcz.dep, and wpa_supplicant fails to load due to this.

Cheers

Bela,

Great Progress, did you pull this kernel on Monday after the DMA backport was merged?

Has the rpi3 internal wifi firmware been updated as well?      Updated brcmfmac43430-sdio.bin - version 7.45.41.26 https://github.com/RPi-Distro/firmware-nonfree/commit/a7491de4c4b2f1ceb5d0dfa5350b95e5c6fb9bd4
