Hi Alice,
Thanks - its good to know the OEI didn't drop support and also good to
understand something changed with the DDR configs. Note the tcm
doesn't use DDR_CONFIG so that can be dropped.
In order to restore support for IMX95 A0 silicon I also had to revert
all the changes to the imximage.cfg from commit 9936724aa9b
("imx95_evk: Add i.MX95 B0 support"):
diff --git a/arch/arm/mach-imx/imx9/scmi/imximage.cfg

So to restore A0 support we need the following:
- add a IMX95_A0 Kconfig selectable for IMX95
- use the config in imxiamge.cfg
- update doc/board/nxp/imx95_evk.rst to show differences in building
for the various versions of the imx95_evk that are out there (whatever
they may be)
imx95_19x19 with A0:
make -C imx-oei board=mx95lp5 oei=ddr DEBUG=1 r=A0
DDR_CONFIG=XIMX95LPD5EVK19_6400mbps_train_timing_a1
cp imx-oei/build/mx95lp5/ddr/oei-m33-ddr.bin .
make -C imx-oei board=mx95lp5 oei=tcm DEBUG=1 r=A0
cp imx-oei/build/mx95lp5/tcm/oei-m33-tcm.bin .
Please put this together in a patch that has a fixes tag for commit
9936724aa9b ("imx95_evk: Add i.MX95 B0 support").
Best Regards,
Tim
