The following features, enhancements, and bug fixes have been implemented in the BEAM tool as part of the 2026.1_SC_Q2 release.

New Features

• Added support for Si5518 clocks on VRK160 boards.

• Automated the PL UART BIT test, transitioning it from a manual process.

• Enhanced the clock upload feature to automatically upload clock files based on the corresponding clock command extensions.

• Added support to correctly handle Versal Junction Temperature value 228.8°C as the maximum temperature scenario for SCU200 boards.

• Updated the LED test logging mechanism to record Pass/Fail status based on user input.

Improvements

• Removed the FMC tab when the command response is empty or null.

• Fixed the issue where uploaded files were automatically selected in dropdown menus.

• Resolved the issue that prevented re-uploading a file after deletion.

Bug Fixes

Build And Distro:

• Added standalone SC distro support with amd-edf-sc.

• Added default SC build templates: bblayers.conf.sample, local.conf.sample, and conf-notes.txt.

• Removed dependency wiring for dynamic-layers/meta-amd-edf from conf/layer.conf.

• Added amd-cortexa53-common machine support.

• Added source and sstate mirror defaults for 2025.2 SC builds.

• Added sudoers user setup support through amd-useradd-sudoers.bbclass.

• Added jupyter-examples.bbclass.

Images And Packaging:

• Added system-controller-board-packages.bb to build board package dependencies without producing a rootfs image.

• Added system-controller-image-everything.bb.

• Updated system-controller-image-full-cmdline.bb to include:

  • setup-board

  • python3-image-mgmt

  • sc-version-info

• Moved boot script and WKS behavior out of system-controller.inc into distro-specific config.

• Added standalone meta-createrepo.bb SDK recipe for DNF repository indexing.

• Added systemd repart/openssl package config.

Board Setup And Version Info:

• Added new setup-board recipe and installed /usr/bin/setup_board.sh.

• New setup script detects board/revision from EEPROM FRU data, selects the best matching board package, installs/upgrades board packages plus common SC packages, then reboots after
  success.

• Removed older setup_board.sh from system-controller-app.

• Added sc-version-info recipe and version_info.sh.

• New version script reports QSPI image info, boot-device image info, RPM release version, board firmware/app package status, and common package versions.

Utilities:

• Added python3-image-mgmt_1.1.bb.

• Added RAFT bbappend for SC builds, using branch 2025.2 and enabling raftstartupsc.
