 # [unreleased]
 
+# [v7.3.0] 2023-11-07

 ## Changed
 
 - Changed PDEC addresses depending on which firmware version is used. It is suspected that
   the previous addresses were invalid and not properly covered by the Linux memory protection.
   The OBSW will use the old addresses for older FW versions.
 
+## Added
+
+- Always add PLOC MPSoC and PLOC SUPV components for the EM as well.
