I would also like to know the usefulness/completeness requirements of
new platforms.
Expecting the latest designs in each area, what is wanted for a first
submission, besides the core stuff required for booting?
- clocks
- gpios
- pinctrl
- devicetree
- uarts
- dma
- i2c
- ...
For instance, I'm absolutely not interested in audio, displays and GPUs at
the moment, at least not those equipping this board. So I will not spend
any time to contribute anything of them. Would this be a stopper?
Regards,
Domenico
