I know, we are maintaining i.MX in the mainline and several people at Pengutronix are working on better MX51 support recently. > Whether or not the upstream bits work on the particular configuration > of the Efika board is a different question, but it shouldn't be a lot > of work to get it to boot at least. If you mean "booting with serial console up to a prompt", without any graphics or other of the fancy features, then yes, that's easy. We have that running on the Babage board, on the TX51 and on customer hardware. However, bringing MX51 to a state like what we have today for example for MX35 or MX27 will still be a lot of work. rsc -- Pengutronix e.K. | | Industrial Linux Solutions | http://www.pengutronix.de/ | Peiner Str. 6-8, 31137 Hildesheim, Germany | Phone: +49-5121-206917-0 | Amtsgericht Hildesheim, HRA 2686 | Fax: +49-5121-206917-5555 | _______________________________________________ linaro-dev mailing list linaro-dev@lists.linaro.org http://lists.linaro.org/mailman/listinfo/linaro-dev
