Subject: [DistroKit] [PATCH 0/6] RFC: add support for imx8mp-frdm board
Date: Tue, 20 Jan 2026 17:42:33 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260120-fpf-imx8mp-frdm-v1-0-7c104011f896@pengutronix.de> (raw)
Add support for the imx8mp-frdm board. This patch assumes that Barebox
already offers board support, which is not the case yet. See [1].
Wait for it to be merged.
Furthermore, the kernel device-tree is not yet upstream [2].
Wait for it to be merged.
This patch stack imports it and additionally adds more features to it.
The board offers an IW612 WiFi chip, which requires an extra firmware
provided by the imx-firmware repository. I already sent a patch upstream
that integrates this as a package [3]. Wait for it to be merged.
Besides the firmware, the WiFi chip also needs the mwifiex driver. This
driver is already contained in the upstream Linux kernel, but does
not support the IW612 chip yet. Instead of backporting downstream driver
changes, that add support for this chip, I decided to wait for upstream
support. Otherwise, we would have several downstream patches in
DistroKit.
