Inguqulelo yesihlanu yeLinux kernel yafika, ngamazwi kaLinus Torvalds, kuba wayengasenayo iminwe yokubala okanye yokongeza ezo zezandla neenyawo zakhe. Kucacile ukuba oku akunjalo, kuba iLinux Kernel 5.0 yeza neendaba ezininzi ezinomdla, ngakumbi ngokuhambelana kwizixhobo. Kodwa ngoMeyi wokugqibela u-5 weza Linux 5.1, Inguqu ebandakanya izinto ezintsha ezinqabileyo eziye zafikelela nakwizixhobo zikaGoogle ngenxa yokusebenzisana kwayo nenkampani yeCollabora.
Xa sithetha ngezixhobo zikaGoogle sibhekisa kwezo zisebenzisa iinkqubo zazo zokusebenza, ezikhoyo ngoku Andoid kunye ne-Chrome OS. Ezi zixhobo, ngokwe yazisa I-Collabora, ngoku unganyusa kwaye uqalise isixhobo se-mapper ngokongeza iparameter yekernel ngomgca wokuyalela ngexesha lokuqalisa, Ukudlula kumfanekiso we-initramfs. Kude kube ngoku, tZonke iinguqulelo zangaphambili ze-kernel zifuna ubukho be-initramfs yokuqalisa inkqubo kwinkqubo yefayile ebekwe kwisixhobo semephu yesixhobo, kodwa bekukho iimeko ezininzi apho abasebenzisi bengenakho ukusebenzisa umfanekiso we-initramfs, ke le nto intsha iza iluncedo xa ufuna ukuqala kwisixhobo semephu ngaphandle kwesidingo somfanekiso we-initramfs, usebenzisa nje ipharamitha ye-kernel boot.
UGoogle noCollabora bazisa utshintsho olukhulu kwiLinux 5.1 ye-Android kunye ne-Chrome OS
UCollabora ukwanoxanduva lokongeza kwiLinux 5.1 ye-Android kunye ne-Chrome OS:
- Inkxaso yebhodi yeNanoPC-T4.
- Inkxaso ye-AM335x-based Bosch Guardian kunye ne-ARM i.MX6 Phytec phyBOARD Segin board.
- Inkxaso yebhodi yeRaspberry Pi 3 ikwabandakanyiwe.
- Isandi se-HDMI senziwe sasebenza kumaqonga e-RK3399 Rock960.
- Inkxaso yebhodi yeRK3399 RockPI iphuculwe.
- Ukuphathwa okungagungqiyo kweenkcazo ze-USB kwiFunctionFS.
- Ukuphuculwa komiliselo lwe-DRM_AUTH lwenkqubo esezantsi ye-DRM.
- Inkxaso yokuboniswa kweenqwelomoya kunye nokujikeleza kuye kongezwa kwiRK3288 kunye neRK3399 SoCs.
- Kulungiswe ibug kwisilawuli esicacileyo.
- Ukuhlaziya ukufunyanwa kwetshaja ye-ISP1704 ye-USB ukusebenzisa i-GPIO API entsha.
