Hi, Benoit,

This series contain the support for Freescale Vybrid MVF600 CPU and MVF600TWR board.

Vybird devices are built on an asymmetrical-multiprocessing architecture using ARM cores. The families in the Vybrid portfolio span entry-level, single core Cortex-A class SoCs all the way to dual heterogeneous core SoCs with multiple communication and connectivity options.

Part of the Vybrid platform, MVF600 is a dual-core eMPU combining the ARM Cortex A5 and Cortex M4 cores.

MVF600 shares some IPs with i.MX family, such as FEC,ESDHC,WATCHDOG,I2C,ASRC and ESAI. MVF600 also shares some IPs with ColdFire family, such as eDMA and DSPI. MVF600 still has its own IPs, such as PIT,SAI,UART,QSPI and DCU.

I have a question about the naming of this SoC. On Freescale's website, it is VF6xx everywhere, but you add a leading M (_M_VF600). Is it because you are using an internal SoC name known only by Freescale and different from the marketing SoC name, or is this M from the part number, or will the marketing SoC name change later, or some other reason? Please clarify. U-Boot users must be able to identify a SoC and to find information about it easily. [Alison Wang] We always use the name "MVF600" in the internal development. We will check it with marketing team, and confirm it. Thanks.

The u-boot runs on Cortex A5 core.
