Linux 4.14 support on WP7607

IoT Modules WP Series
#1

Hi,

I have a question concerning Linux 4.14 on WP76XX modules :
On Legato’s website, we can find the Linux 4.14 migration guide but the information about Linux 4.14 handling is hard to find.
From LTS Releases and Support Policy, the ETA for the release of Legato 21.05.X, which is supposed to handle Linux 4.14, is still marked as “Estimated” to “Nov. 2021”.

The only sources found on Sierra Wireless’ website concerns Release 16 of the Firmware, which is still based on Kernel 3.18.140 ( WP76xx Approved Firmware Packages Summary, WP76xx Firmware Release 16 Components).

I’ve found a post from April 2022 named Release 17 where to find where @jyijyi answered that it was “not yet ready on leaf”.
Is it accessible elsewhere if it’s not yet on leaf ? What is the current state of the release ? Does Sierra Wireless plan to release it in the future ?

Best regards,
Sami Brugier

Thank’s for the quick answer, as always.
I am sorry to bother you, but as information about R17 are hard to find but important for us, is it possible to have an idea about when the ETA is postponed ?
