[U-Boot] NXP QorIQ LS1021A-IoT board support

[Tim Harvey]

Greetings,

I don't see U-Boot support for the TechNexion designed/built LS1021A-IoT.
I've got one on my desk and am still muddling through the
overly-complicated NXP BSP and I haven't found where they are building
U-Boot from yet or with what patchset.

Is this board supported by perhaps a config I'm not seeing in U-Boot master?

Thanks,

Tim

Tim,

I don't see other LS1021A boards in U-Boot, other than LS1021AQDS and 
LS1021ATWR. I don't think NXP can support third-party boards. Did you 
get any software from the vendor?

York,

The LS1021A-IOT-GW is an NXP board. 
It is designed by NXP and support is NXP responsibility.

Tapani,

Thanks for the clarification. Too bad your logo is all over the
(beautiful) enclosure because NXP's support for this board is horrid
(no board support in mainline uboot or kernel, BSP distributed as a
rar of two segmented ISO's with a really messy and confusing file
structure, tarballs of private repos of clones of ancient versions of
uboot and linux with patches on top). You do have the board on your
website but as you mentioned there is no support detail there.

Tapani,

I never heard of this board. Can you share more details? I can try to 
find out which team is responsible and why it is not supported in 
mainline U-Boot.

Tim,

I found the team responsible for this board. Will send you a contact 
name in a separated email.

Even nicer if someone assumes the responsibility and send the patches
for proper support it. ;-)

That would be nice. Let me try to persuade people. Finger crossed. Don't 
put your expectation high.
