Hi, experts:
Does U-boot have any plan to support ARMv8 SOC?
I think the short answere here is that it's not quick to merge in brand new arch support (it's more than just adding a new SoC family, it's adding in a new processor family too) but we're on track to have ARMv8 support in the next release. I would then expect that..
Nvidia has decleared 64bit SOC plan.
... any nvidia ARMv8 platforms to come in via the u-boot-tegra tree and other ARMv8 platforms to come in via their respective platforms (if i.MX9000, which I just made up, is where Freescale does ARMv8, it can still go via u-boot-imx as far as I'm concerned) unless that custodian really wants someone else to own it.
