How to subscribe to Variscite's GitHub repositories to get real-time notifications

Sunday, 03 Jan 2021

Would you like to be the first to know about our software releases?

Subscribe to Variscite’s GitHub repositories to get real-time notifications about new System on Module software releases and additional updates.

GitHub provides a few ways to get such notifications:

 

    • Using Atom feeds:

If you are using an Atom/RSS reader, you can subscribe to the following Atom feeds of Variscite software releases:

Yocto releases: https://github.com/varigit/variscite-bsp-platform/releases.atom

Android releases: https://github.com/varigit/MX6x-android/releases.atom

Debian releases: https://github.com/varigit/debian-var/releases.atom

Boot2Qt releases: https://github.com/varigit/meta-variscite-boot2qt/releases.atom

FreeRTOS releases: https://github.com/varigit/freertos-variscite/releases.atom

Zephyr releases: https://github.com/varigit/zephyr/releases.atom

 

Note that in addition to releases feeds, GitHub also provides an Atom feed for the commits in any repository branch.
For example, the Atom feed containing the commits in the 5.4-2.1.x-var01 branch of Variscite’s linux-imx repository can be accessed at:
https://github.com/varigit/linux-imx/commits/5.4-2.1.x-imx_var01.atom
(basically, you can navigate to the GitHub repository web interface, e.g., https://github.com/varigit/linux-imx,
choose the desired branch, and click on “commits,” then you can just add a “.atom” suffix to the URL to get the respective feed).
By subscribing to the above Atom feed, you can get notified whenever a new commit is pushed to the 5.4-2.1.x-imx_var01 branch of the linux-imx kernel repository.
