This patch is for testing i.MX8QXP patchset [PATCH V2 00/32] i.MX: Add i.MX8QXP support
https://lists.denx.de/pipermail/u-boot/2018-July/335079.html
The board is using B0 chip, A0 chip is not being supported.
Please help test if you are interested. I'll post out V3 after collecting
more comments.
Sadly, I do not know where to download scfw_tcm.bin in public for B0 QXP.

Thanks,
Peng.

Could you please check how to make this binary available to the users?

Users need to have access to the firmware, otherwise it is a blocking
issue for upstreaming mx8qxp support.

Thanks

Need to wait external releases for i.MX8QXP B0. Hope soon.

Different boards needs different scfw, there will be a porting kit for users when external release.
I just do not know where to download scfw_tcm.bin for i.MX8QXP MEK board (:
