Note:
NXP Provides the Vivante GPU driver in binary form and it requires a specific minimum version of libc.<br>
Due to this requirement from the GPU user space libraries, this Debian release uses an updated version of libc from the newer Debian Bullseye repository.<br>
Therefore, if you need to update packages which depend on libc (like build-essentials, gcc, libc6-dev, etc.) please use only update that package. Installing / Updating all packages can break the rootfs.
