Introduction
============
Astra™ is Synaptics' new compute platform designed for the IoT market. It features a series of high-performance,
AI-native, multi-modal SoCs optimized for consumer, enterprise, and industrial IoT workloads. These SoCs are
equipped with hardware accelerators for edge inferencing, security, graphics, vision, and audio, and offer
out-of-the-box functionality with Synaptics' connectivity solutions.
Astra (v1.5.0) GA Release is a unified software development kit supporting the SL-Series of MPUs.
The high-level components included in this SDK are described below:
* Upstream Linux Kernel and device tree.
* Low-level Linux device drivers (U-BOOT) for peripheral devices.
* Open source code for Multimedia pipelines.
* Synaptics proprietary security approach.
* Related SDK Documents
All of these items can be found through Synaptics’ and third parties open source Git repositories on GitHub.
Yocto SDK
---------
The Yocto Project is an open-source collaboration project that provides templates, tools and
methods for custom Linux-based systems for embedded and IoT products. By leveraging the power
of the open-source development community, Synaptics hopes to provide its customers with a wider
array of compatible software packages to build their products faster, with more features, while
at the same time having the stability and support of a large open-source development project.
Additionally, the SDK enables customers who already use a Yocto-based development environment
to migrate to Synaptics class-leading silicon solutions for improved performance and additional
functionality. The Yocto Project offers a vast number of software packages that provide many options.

Known Issues and Limitations
============================
.. note::
Versions of U-Boot included in the Astra SDK v0.9.0 release are not compatible with Astra SDK releases v1.0 or later.
Please ensure that you are using `USB Tool v1.0 `__ or later
when flashing using USB. Or U-Boot `v1.0.0 `__
or later when updating with internal SPI flash. See :ref:`flash_internal_spi` for instructions on updating the
internal SPI flash.
.. note::
U-Boot version v1.1.0 improves emmc flash times significantly. We recommend updating to U-Boot v1.1.0 to benefit from these
improvements.
.. note::
SD Boot with release v1.3 and later requires updating to U-Boot `v1.1.1 `__
or later. See :ref:`flash_internal_spi` for instructions on updating the internal SPI flash.
.. note::
In Astra v1.3, the default display output for the SL1620 is set to HDMI via a DSI-to-HDMI conversion. Starting with Astra v1.4,
the onboard DSI-to-HDMI converter for the SL1620 Rev D core module has been enabled. For older core modules, an external
DSI-to-HDMI adapter board is required. The default display output can be switched to MIPI by following the instructions provided
in the User Guides. :doc:`../subject/haier_panel_configuration` and :doc:`../subject/waveshare_dsi-configuration`.
.. note::
In Astra v1.4, the default MIPI display on SL1680 was changed to the Waveshare 7" Panel.
.. note::
In Astra v1.4, ISP IOMMU only supports the NV12 format. When using RGB888 format, set the v4l2src parameters ``extra-controls="c,mmu_enable=0"``
to disable IOMMU.
.. note::
In Astra v1.5, the rootfs parition sizes increased to accommodate the extra packages in the OOBE images. This interferes with OTA since SWUpdate
expects the rootfs partition size to be the same. To perform OTA on a system with v1.4 installed, please build an image using `v1.4's partition
sizes `__. (See :doc:`../subject/emmc_layout_customization`)
