Re: [meta-freescale] Safe to upgrade to a Community BSP?

Does anyone know when meta-freescale plans on releasing a new version of their kernel (i.e.-imx)?
Or where that information could be available?

Thanks, 
 Val

The 5.12.x is based on mainline. It is totally safe and include very small set of changes on top of upstream.
