2023-03-09 13:59:57 Isaac True summary Add support for the NXP S32G274A-RDB2 board [SRU] Add support for the NXP S32G274A-RDB2 board in Jammy
2023-03-09 14:03:02 Isaac True description I've created a debdiff which adds support for the NXP S32G274A-RDB2 reference board for the S32G2 SoC. The added fit image template (its/arm64/image-nxp-s32.its) can also be used for other boards in the S32 family, which may be added in the future. This is a development board for NXP's automotive platform with a specific and custom BSP (https://github.com/nxp-auto-linux/). The device tree and support for the board is not (yet) in the mainline kernel, and the board is not supported by upstream U-Boot. In order to achieve the best compatibility with the custom U-Boot implementation required to boot this board, this patch instructs flash-kernel to only generate the fit image and place it in /boot/firmware/fitImage, without generating a boot script. [ Impact ] Flash-kernel only supports boards maintained in the db/all.db database. We want to be able to support the 'NXP S32G274A-RDB2' in Jammy. The database entries are copied from the Lunar version for the package. [ Test Plan ] As the database entries are the same as in Lunar they already received some testing. Check that no entry is deleted in the database. On a NXP S32G274A-RDB2 board, run flash-kernel to verify that a new fit image has been created and deployed to /boot/firmware [ Where problems could occur ] We could by mistake delete entries for other boards in the database. We could create a database file that flash-kernel cannot parse. This could lead to errors in booting other systems. Both causes are not probable as we copy the entries from Lunar where testing already has occurred.
