PATCH 1/1 imx-m4fwloader: new package

This package provides a tool to load a firmware to the Cortex-M4 core available in some i.MX processors such as i.MX6SX or i.MX7.

This package was tested on a i.MX7D Nitrogen7 platform:

 # imx-m4fwloader hello_world.bin 0x007F8000

Upstream repository:

It would be nice to add the hash of the license file as well, so I've done that.

The code accesses /dev/mem and a number of hardware registers, so it looks like you need to be root to use it - So I have moved it to /usr/sbin.

Committed with these fixes, thanks.

What about the the m4's on mx8? It doesn't look supported yet though.

Exactly, the version will be bumped once i.MX8 will be supported. At that point the dependency will be updated too.

Anyway the whole freescale-imx folder will need an upgrade to support i.MX8 properly.

Maybe we should create a BR2_PACKAGE_FREESCALE_IMX_HAS_M4 macro so that the package only appears when a supported platform is selected.

Makes sense if the list of variants gets too big / needs to be repeated several times.
