Subject: [PATCH 15/16] hw/arm: add i.MX 95 19x19 EVK board
Date: Wed, 19 Aug 2026 21:48:33 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260820024834.3286721-16-kylefoxaustin.github@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260820024834.3286721-1-kylefoxaustin.github@gmail.com>
The i.MX 95 19x19 EVK board (machine type imx95-19x19-evk).
Instantiates the SoC, sets up the LPDDR5 DRAM, and provides the direct
-kernel/-dtb/-initrd Linux boot path alongside the System Manager
firmware loaded on the M33. This is the user-facing machine type.
