chipPC board support about os HOT 4 CLOSED

Cool. I probably need to write a platform porting doc. Some unsolicited suggestions: probably the first step is to create a UEFI firmware for it by creating a directory in uefi/plat (you can look other directories there for an example), and creating a final image for it off in image/Makefile. Proving that you're running any code at all can be tricky, but things go a lot faster once you've made it into the debugger.

This is a cool board, I would like to support this one. We would need to get our hands on some when they come out, and would need SoC and platform docs.

I love doing platform bringup, but it can be a lot of work depending on the chip. Fortunately the work can be done in stages, and by different people. Generally the first stage is to create a platform for it in uefi/plat. That can be debugged through to the kernel launch. Then there's generally a bit of hardware module code needed (timers, interrupts, maybe serial), and then usually some new drivers for the peripherals.

I'll leave this one open in case someone in the community is interested in tackling this.

I have a PocketCHIP, so I'll give it a go over the weekend ..

@seclorum Did you get anywhere with this?
