+h1. Linaro Versatile Express 12.10 Release Linaro releases monthly
+
+p. Linaro releases monthly binary images for the ARM "Versatile Express":http://www.arm.com/products/tools/development-boards/versatile-express/index.php including support for A9, A5, A15 (TC1), and TC2 (big.LITTLE) CoreTiles.
+
+p. This release includes Linaro Android Jelly Bean for Versatile Express and Real-Time System Model ("RTSM":http://www.arm.com/products/tools/software-tools/ds-5/rtsm-simulator.php) images. The image is able to boot A9 (ATAGS), TC1 and TC2 using UEFI. Sources are also made available so you can build your own images.
+
+p. For support matters related to these images, please contact ARM support at "support@arm.com":mailto:support@arm.com
+
+h1. Release Notes
+
+h2. About the TC2 Evaluation Build
+
+The TC2 CoreTile is the first example of a big.LITTLE system shipped by ARM and serves as a platform for development and test of big.LITTLE software. TC2 contains a tri-core Cortex-A7 cluster and a dual-core Cortex-A15 cluster linked using the CCI–400 coherent interconnect.
+
+The release integrates big.LITTLE development work which can be traced in the big.LITTLE MP working group git repo . The integration branch present in 12.10 is big-LITTLE-MP-v9 which includes:
+
+Scheduler modifications to support big.LITTLE
+** per-task-load-average-v3: Paul Turner’s patches enabling the calculation of load on a per-task basis.
+** task-placement-v2: Morten Rasmussen’s patches using the per-task load to schedule threads on the big or LITTLE cores as appropriate. New: Refactoring and new generalisation features are featured in this update to the patchset with the aim of facilitating review of the key features by the scheduler community.
+
+Hot-plug improvements. The aim of this sequence of improvements is to speed-up and make consistent the time taken to hot-plug cores.
+** per-cpu-thread-hotplug-v3-fixed
+** cpu-hotplug-get_online_cpus-v1
+** rcu-hotplug-v1
+
+Cluster and asymmetric system support
+** arm-asymmetric-support-v3-v3.6-rc1 - uses arch_scale_freq_power function to reflect the relative capacity of each core
+** arm-multi_pmu_v1 - enables the use of multiple PMU types or sources, for example profiling across both Cortex-A15 and Cortex-A7 clusters.
+** scheduler-misc-v1 - miscellaneous scheduler patches complementing the MP work
+
+Platform Support. In addition to the big.LITTLE MP work the TC2 platform support includes
+** CPUidle & CPUfreq support
+** hwmon driver allowing, amongst other things, TC2's power, current and
+energy measurements to be read through standard sysfs interfaces
+** Common clocks implementation
+** Regulator driver
+** Drivers for previously hard-coded configuration interfaces
+** Misc fixes in this release
+*** safely handle missing CPU frequencies
+*** MMC Multi-Block fix
+*** amba-clcd Device Treee mods
+*** HDLCD fixes
+
+p. This release also adds support for saving the self-hosted debugger setup when a CPU goes through a low power state, where hardware breakpoints are not preserved, and restoring the setup when the CPU is brought
+back onlne.
+
+p. Additionally, support for CPU PMUs present in big.LITTLE systems has been integrated into the kernel, with the framework now also supporting system PMUs. CCI-400 PMUs are the first example
+implementation that is using the framework.
+
+p. SCHED_HMP patches for scheduler have now been updated to take into account multiple domains when making decisions on task migration, with ftrace events added for tracking these
+migrations.
