[PATCH v3 5/5] board: Add new Broadcom Northstar board

Linus Walleij linus.walleij at linaro.org
Tue Mar 21 22:13:12 CET 2023


This adds a simple Northstar "BRCMNS" board to be used with
the BCM4709x and BCM5301x chips.

The main intention is to use this with the D-Link DIR-890L
and DIR-885L routers for loading the kernel into RAM from
NAND memory using the BCH-1 ECC and using the separately
submitted SEAMA load command, so we are currently not adding
support for things such as networking.

If other board need other ECC for example, they need to
create a separate DTS file and augment the code, but I don't
know if any other users will turn up.
