linux4microchip-2026.04 tag

Enhancements are added on top of the official v6.18 Linux® kernel tag where most of the Microchip System on Chip (SoC) features are already supported. Note as well that we re-integrate each and every stable kernel release on top of this Long Term Support (LTS) kernel revision. This means that each v6.18.x version is merged in our branch.

Here is a little summary of the main additional enhancements:

  • Integration of stable Long Term Support (LTS) kernel updates up to v6.18.17
  • Added initial support for SAM9X75 Curiosity Pro board
  • Added support for the SAMA7D65 System-on-Module (SOM)
  • Added Graphics 2D GPU Engine support for SAM9X60, SAM9X75 and SAMA7D6 platforms
  • Improved support for SAMA7D65 shutdown controller (SHDWC)
  • Updated NAND timings for SAMA7D65
  • Improved Microchip ISC with new image controls and multiple AWB, histogram, color, and raw-path fixes
  • Add aliases for SDMMC in boards' device trees
  • Fixes for HLCDC timing and ASRC audio
  • Added LSM6DSV I3C sensor device support
  • Several improvements on SDMMC
