12:51 <mntirc> quite interesting board, wonder if etnaviv works with its gpu https://olimex.wordpress.com/2023/05/05/our-most-complex-oshw-board-the-imx8quadmax-tukhla-project-first-prototypes-are-assembled-and-they-boot/

16:15 <marex> mntirc: blobity blob ?

16:15 <marex> mntirc: how's the bootblobloader , still SCFW ?

16:16 <marex> also, CA72 is ancient, lx2160 looks more appealing

16:17 <marex> hm, I thought it was a76, bummer, also a72 :(

16:18 <marex> the one truly impressive thing about olimex is their designs seem to be done in kicad, i.e. awesome

20:52 <mntirc> marex: exactly, also i didn't see an affordable solution to play with this chip before, it seemed kind of rare

21:12 <marex> mntirc: its the SCFW which looks just off-putting

21:12 <marex> mntirc: and now the MX8Q is just ... old

21:46 <cphealy> That imx8quadmax has a different intended market as I understand. Unlike the i.MX8M we are used to, this SoC has IOMMU and much better support for hypervisor for running OS like QNX along side Linux for automotive certified use cases.

21:47 <cphealy> In part this is why it has TWO Vivante GC7000 GPUs.

23:09 <marex> cphealy: and it also has basically no proper linux support
