What's New
| ID | Summary |
|---|---|
| TIOVX-2256 | Granular export of the usage of DDR_SHARED_MEM |
| TIOVX-2233 | Support for RGB formats with Alpha value |
| TIOVX-2228 | TIOVX shall support vxCreateTensorFromROI specification |
Upgrade and Compatibility Information
| File(s) | Change description | User application change required | User application recompile required |
| utils/include/tivx_utils_graph_perf.h | Added print API for application's node memory usage | NO | YES | utils/include/tivx_utils_ipc_ref_xfer.h | Updated meta format internal structure to a union type | NO | YES | include/VX/vx_types.h | Introduced VX_DF_IMAGE_RGBA image type | NO | YES | include/TI/soc/tivx_config_j722s.h include/TI/tivx_tensor.h |
Added TIVX_IMAGE_MAX_SUBTENSORS and new API for creating a tensor object from a ROI | NO | YES |
The tivxSetGraphPipelineDepth API will be deprecated in the 11.1 SDK. In place of this API, please use the vxSetGraphAttribute with the VX_GRAPH_PIPELINE_DEPTH attribute as is implemented in the Pipelining 2.0 extension.

Package Versioning
Each package version is composed of 4 period-delimited numbers - represented here by the letters M, m, p and b [M.m.p.b]. The table below provides a descriptive reference regarding package version numbering.
| Digit | Meaning | Description |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (M=Major) | Major revision | Incremented when the new version is substantially different from the previous For example, a new module added or an existing module's algorithm significantly altered. |
| 2 (m=minor) | Minor revision | Incremented when the new version has changed but not in a major way. For example, some minor changes in the API or feature set. |
| 3 (p=patch) | Patch number | Incremented for all other source code changes. This include any packaging support code. |
| 4 (b=build) | Build number | Incremented for each release delivery to CM. Reset for any change to M, m or p |
