[Buildroot] [PATCH v6 0/4] Initial support for NXP iMX8 (imx8mq-evk)

[Erik Larsson <karl.erik.larsson@gmail.com>]

Hi all!

2018-03-10 12:51 GMT+01:00 Erik Larsson <karl.erik.larsson@gmail.com>:
> This series provides initial support for NXP iMX8 (imx8mq-evk).
>
> This series of patches are tested against NXP imx8mq-evk.
> It only handles basic support for iIMX8M, currently no
> support for GPU, VPU and other HW features. This series
> makes it possible to build a minimal system for imx8mq-evk.
>
> Changes since v5
> ================
>   - Switch to letting post-image.sh generate imx-boot-imx8mqevk-sd.bin
>     instead of letting imx-mkimage do that.
>
> Changes since v4
> ================
>   - Build kernel, u-boot, atf from tag rel_imx_4.9.51_8mq_beta_patch.
>   - Add board readme.txt.
>   - Update imx-mkimage package to use host mkimage
>
> Changes since v3
> ================
>   - Use Buildroot toolchain instead of external Linareo toolchain.
>   - Changed title on patch number 2
>
> Changes since v2
> ================
>   - Build kernel, u-boot, atf based on tags instead of branches.
>   - Make sure to assign BR2_PACKAGE_FREESCALE_IMX_PLATFORM to IMX8M.
>   - Remove kernel defconfig from board folder and use arch default in kernel tree.
>   - Split third commit into two commits.
>
> Changes since v1
> ================
>   - Removed new imx-atf package, use boot/arm-trusted-firmware.
>   - Move imx-mkimage from package/freescale-imx to package.
>   - Add upstream URL for imx-mkimage in Config.in.host.
>   - Fix install command syntax for imx-mkimage package.
>   - Use Makefile in imx-mkimage to build imx-boot-imx8mqevk-sd.bin instead of doing that in the post-script.sh
>   - Split third commit into two, one for firmware-img package and one for iMX8 board.
>

Any comments on this? I think this serie was missed by Patchwork a
couple of weeks ago. I've also been a bit quiet due to the fact that
I'm on my honeymoon and was not allowed to bring my iMX8 board. But
I'm back on track in a couple of days.
