What are the changes to Moxa Industrial Linux 1.1.0?
New Features

card
(All series except UC-8100-ME-T, which already has this feature). - Synchronizes utilities, libraries, and configurations across all Moxa Arm-based computer models with Moxa Industrial Linux 1.1.0
- Adds moxa-mxio-library, a user-friendly I/O programming library to reduce development effort
and ease transfer operations
when retrieving data from the ioLogik E1200 I/O devices
(All series except UC-2100/2100-W, which already has this feature).
Enhancements
- Updated Debian to version 9.13
- Includes the latest security patches.
- Cellular signal strength LED will now light up only when a connection to the Internet is available
- The mx-ver utility now displays the Moxa Industrial Linux version.
- Added the Moxa UPort driver for the UPort 1100/1200/1400/1600 Series.
- UC-8100-ME-T, UC-8100A-ME-T and UC-8200 now synchronize with the rest of the UC series to increase the signal strength refresh interval to 60 seconds to improve performance.
- Upgraded tpm2-tools from 3.1.3-2 to 4.1.1-1 on the UC-5100, UC-8100A-ME-T and UC-8200
(Note: The UC-3100 Series already has 'tpm2-tools' v4.1.1-1) - The Type parameter of wifi_mgmt utility is no longer case sensitive (Only the UC-8100A-ME-T and UC-8200 as they use an older version of the utility)
