It depends on what you consider to be best and which support. That's why this kind of question is not useful. > I am asking this because mx7 is not set as compatible machine in > linux-fslc_4.17.bb recipe. This is where my confusion came from. I'm sorry to take so long to understand it. I think it's a mistake. Would you mind sending a patch to add mx7 as compatible machine?
