Description

After a discussion with NXP it is allowed to download the proprietary firmware (for the WLAN/BT module on mba8mp-ras314) from NXP and integrate it into the rootfs. Deployment via the armbian-firmware repo was rejected. Unfortunately, there seems to be no interest on the part of NXP to integrate the WLAN/BT firmware into linux-firware in a timely manner.

So installing firmware for this chip become a step in post_family_tweaks_bsp_.

It is time to leave the WIP state and so the board-configs are cleaned up and renamed

How Has This Been Tested?

  • Build images for mba8mp-ras314 and mba8mpxl with current kernel
  • Boot test "bookworm_current" mba8mp-ras314
  • Boot test "bookworm_current" mba8mpxl
  • HDMI, WLAN, USB test's mba8mp-ras314" bookworm_current" with xfce image
  • HDMI, USB test's mba8mpxl" bookworm_current" with xfce image

OK, not an issue.
