 	  This software supports only the i.MX6 SoC family and requires a
 	  kernel that includes the i.MX6 specific headers to be built.
 
-	  The software as a whole is currently in beta stage.
+	  The IPU and PXP plugins are always built.
+	  The V4L2 plugin is built when BR2_PACKAGE_GST1_PLUGINS_BAD is enabled.
+	  The VPU plugin is built when BR2_PACKAGE_LIBIMXVPUAPI is enabled.
+	  The EGL plugin is built when BR2_PACKAGE_IMX_GPU_VIV is enabled.
+	  The G2D plugin is built when BR2_PACKAGE_IMX_GPU_VIV_G2D is enabled.
+	  The MP3 plugin is built when BR2_PACKAGE_LIBFSLCODEC is enabled.
