I plan to use this thread to document the hardware and other related efforts to support IMX8 hardware, intending to add Armbian support for this board.
So far I have found:
- https://github.com/Joshua-Riek/ubuntu-apalis-imx8
- https://github.com/TechNexion-customization/ubuntu-tn-imx/tree/master?tab=readme-ov-file#technexion-ubuntu-lts-image-builder
I spotted this new board coming soon https://www.crowdsupply.com/ov-tech-gmbh/pi-mx8-module More info I appreciate it's a lot of work to support new boards, but I wondered if anyone was interested in forking this https://github.com/TechNexion-customization/ubuntu-tn-imx/tree/master?tab=readme-ov-file#technexion-ubuntu-lts-image-builder and doing a Armbian build for it?
