I'm all too familiar with the silicon issues and lack of mainline support unfortunately (I think all the TI guys know me by name by now). A bunch of stuff I don't need. I need USB (I'm aware of the silicon issues), Ethernet (has Davinci EMAC so hopefully that will just work since that's covered in da850 family), AVS (hopefully this is similar to AM355x), SPI, I2C and maybe a few other things. No video, audio etc., so I'm hoping that with the recent mainline support for xM, maybe I can figure out what I need studying it and AM355x.
