 There are two build options: mainline support and vendor support.
 
 For the mainline BSP, we use:
- - Linux v4.15
- - U-Boot v2018.01
+ - Linux v4.19.2
+ - U-Boot v2018.11
 
 For the vendor BSP, we use the sources available from Marvell Github
 page at https://github.com/MarvellEmbeddedProcessors, which uses:
- - Linux v4.4.52
