The standard imx6-dongle U-boot version is boundarydevices u-boot branch
from 8 months old. Unfortunately I cant tell the exact number. At the time
our project was started - that was most advanced/patched version available
around.

Unfortunately, shortly after we've got almost everything working - main
developers lost interest and there were no further updates to new freescale
BSPs. Also I want to mention that for some of the devices that can be even
impossible - 2 first batches of GK802/Hi802 had pre-release silicon (the
one with P as first letter in part number). As far as I know, new BSPs may
have problems with this tapeout. Correct me if I'm wrong.

About recent activity around GK802/Hi802 - Ajay Ramaswamy proposed to
change the current selected version to his branch
https://github.com/ajayramaswamy/u-boot-gk802/commits/yocto-gk802 which is
in fact, based on fresh freescale's release. He also has fresh kernel-side
update.

Check this branch
https://github.com/imx6-dongle/uboot-imx6dongle/commits/for-upstream
Unfortunately, this was never sent to u-boot mainline.

Hope this clears out questions about GK802/Hi802.
Best Regards,
Dmitriy Beykun
