Right now, at least. Hah, optimist ;) These devices have recently gained mainline support for a few of their peripherals as they are reused on the am335x (beaglebone), but I would be very (positive) surprised if TI would do any serious upstream work for them in the future, they are basically legacy - I know as I'm stuck on a dm8168 project :/ Unless you need massive video encode performance, I would suggest you look elsewhere - E.G. iMX6 or similar. -- Bye, Peter Korsgaard -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
