[meta-freescale] RES: [fsl-community-bsp-platform][PATCH] Adding new i.MX53 TURING machine definitions

[Mauricio Cirelli]

Dear Otavio,

Thank you for reviewing our patch.

My main concern is that I am not sure if kernel 4.1 would work with i.MX53 (at least, it would not be based on a official release from Freescale). The i.MX53 LOCO and SABRE boards are based on the kernel 2.6.35, which we have used to base our board. Have them be updated to kernel 4.1 or are they going to be removed from the community-supported boards?

Thank you.

The patch needs a good rework. I will list the main factors but don't expect this to be ready yet.

- upgrade for 4.1 kernel. we don't support 2.6.35 anymore as it does not build with default toolchain (GCC 5.2) and thus cannot be accepted;
- use quantatec for linux and u-boot recipes
- use savedefconfig for kernel defconfig file
- split the commits as: u-boot, linux, machine

Best Regards,
