To the U Boot Mailing list:
I have been working for several months as a side project on an I.MX6Q implementation. Based on other work I am doing, I chose the COM Express standard as the form factor. Given the small size of the MX6 compared to the standard, I was able to add several peripherals to the board design (namely a PCIe Switch, a USB Hub, Ethernet Physical layer, and a Video DAC). I am expecting the module's in this week. I have recently been looking back at the U boot README as well as some of the support work that I have done in the last month in preparation for the prototypes. The prototypes still need to be checked out etc before moving forward but the confidence level is very high based on all of the Freescale and other documentation that exists.
Once I have checked out the hardware and have a stable U boot board configuration built (mainly based on the SABRE SDP package), I am uncertain to the next steps. I have been following the mailing list for some time and have kept track of several ARM projects that are out there. I know that I will need to check the work, form a patch, etc. I want to make the transition as easy as possible for everyone else and recognize there is probably a lot of work left to build a proper patch and documentation. However, any assistance or way ahead other than what's in the README would be greatly appreciated.
