It looks to me that on (too) many occasions SoC vendors You can sit between a vendor and their customer during bringup and integration if you want to but I'm not sure you'll find many other people willing to do that, and I'm not sure that anyone else would want a third party in that path anyway. > take LSK as their development base for new SoC ports, making the > forward-porting effort significantly larger (and potentially ignored). I'm not sure that one direction is that much harder than the other TBH, it's more about the motivation being there in the first place. --KPK+YGx+4g/J2wGm Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iQEcBAEBCAAGBQJX0GFBAAoJECTWi3JdVIfQRq0H/iN6l/nLkBNjNnfkZBhuBgrx bQVabBp+NimX4BrsQHMGhcNJ8rHGYI3tg4W4UAf4EfdMxraZ8BhO34SpodW48vwB aWNwx2US6Tp50bjVcb7+qLpW1/I++q90tsE7YV9i28vvvKXeCVWXYIE6AKmEgHnQ 4jPODGZt+F6cipTfx74qGASYWMnxixi+U1pTszKHH3qoI4aRF/yHuSH+dPWbLftP FuUM88YS0WqdMvVgUuM/E87Cgs8VXh121w0zi6UfudCCTsYbThJFcctEb5NRvv0V a8fysECp/Z+32BeHHvmfND7KwEjded6b46fBEcTasG3cMW7us9hYoDi/7UWs568= =uRJu -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --KPK+YGx+4g/J2wGm--
