RPi2 image of Second Snappy Ubuntu Core 15.04 stable release now available!

[Oliver Grawert]

hi,

I'm happy to announce that the new Image for the Raspberry Pi 2 [1] is
now available for download and it has some exciting changes you surely
want. If you use the former image, please re-flash. From this version on
upgrading the ubuntu-core rootfs snap will be possible !

The image is based on the 15.04/stable image #4.

The changes in detail:

- The image has been ported to our new u-boot handling which now finally
makes ubuntu-core rootfs updates (and rollback) possible. Note that
neither the kernel nor the oem part can be updated on not fully
supported images (i.e. not using the mainline kernel). This should still
be a massive improvement for everyone using the Pi image though.

- The u-boot build now comes from the denx.de mainline git tree

- The kernel was updated to the 3.19.1-12-generic-bcm2709 build from
Paolo Pisati [2].

- Instead of shipping a deliberately invalid dummy ssh key
in /home/ubuntu/.ssh/authorized_keys we now ship an empty file instead.

- I2C has been enabled by default in this build based on the huge
community interest in it.

- Its is currently possible to use overlay dtb's with this image via a
hack (there is a overlays.tgz tarball in /boot/uboot that you need to
extract inside that dir, then you can define the desired overlay in
config.txt as documented on the RPi2 page [3])

- Generally the settings from config.txt are respected and used as
described upstream [3], just edit it in /boot/uboot/ and reboot.

ciao
