   Furthermore, the submode in the NORMAL mode now should be 0 instead of some ON mode submode.
 - Updated GYR bias values to newest measurements. This also corrects the ADIS values to always
   consit of just one digit.
+- The CCSDS IP core handler now exposes a parameter to enable the priority select mode
+  for the PTME core. This mode prioritizes virtual channels with a lower index, so for example
+  the virtual channel (VC0) will have the highest priority, while VC3 will have the lowestg
+  priority. This mode will be enabled by default for now, but can be set via the parameter IF with
+  the unique parameter ID 0. The update of this mode requires a PTME reset. Therefore, it will only
+  be performed when the transmitter is off to avoid weird bugs.
+- Connect and handle reset line for the PTME core in the software now.
 - Safe mode controller failure event now only triggers once per minute.
