TOBI 2026.10.2

TOBI 2026.10.2 fixes TOBI recovery installation to eMMC and keeps the recovery kernel, initramfs, device trees, and boot arguments intact. Its bootloader stages load from the eMMC user-area FAT filesystem. BeaglePlay copies the first-stage tiboot3.bin bootstrap into Boot0 and verifies it by reading it back, then loads the remaining stages from that filesystem.

Download TOBI-2026.10.2-<BOARD>.img.xz for your board and verify it against SHA256SUMS before writing it to SD. The release includes eleven board images; SK-AM64B and TMDS64EVM share the same AM64x payload with the vendor HS-FS bootloader.

After a successful eMMC install, power off and remove the SD card. For boards with boot switches, select MMCSD, eMMC port 0, filesystem mode using the board manual. For BeaglePlay, power on with USR released. TOBI stops on boot-preparation errors and waits for a manual power cycle after eMMC installation.

The public catalog also refreshes the available TI SDK, Edge AI, Armbian Community, and BeaglePlay Debian downloads. Third-party images still require compatible bootloaders; this release changes the bootloaders built into TOBI images.

Software tests and image checks pass. Physical-board cold boot, eMMC startup, and recovery remain to be verified on hardware. See the README for board and build details.
