Tenstorrent Blackhole Support & Other New RISC-V + ARM64 Hardware In Linux 6.19
The set of six branches containing SoC and platform updates/additions for the Linux 6.19 kernel have been merged for enabling a lot of new RISC-V and ARM 64-bit hardware as well as enhancing some existing SoCs/platforms.
Arnd Bergmann sent out all of the SoC updates/additions on Friday for the ongoing Linux 6.19 merge window. There is some exciting new hardware, Device Trees for some new ARM machines, and more:
- Initial support for the Tenstorrent Blackhole! The support is quite rudimentary/basic but it's a start for mainline kernel support with Tenstorrent hardware.
- Support for the Black Sesame C1200 automotive SoC.
- Support for the Anlogic dr1v90 (yes, Anlogic not Amlogic) FPGA platform using a single Nuclei UX900 RISC-V core.
- Renesas R-Car X5H (R8A78000) is now added as a new automotive SoC with 16 x Arm Cortex-A720 cores.
- The TI AM62L SoC is also added as a new GPU-less industrial SoC.
- The Qualcomm Snapdragon 430 (MSM8937) is finally upstream as an older mobile phone SoC based on the Arm Cortex A-53.
- The ASUS Zenbook A14 with Snapdragon X Plus X1P42100 SoC is now supported by the mainline kernel.
- The Lenovo ThinkBook 16 with the Snapdragon X Plus X1P42100 SoC is also now supported by mainline.
- Mainline support for the RISC-V StarFive VisionFive 2 Lite.
- A new driver for cache management on CXL devices with memory shared in a coherent cluster.
See the pull requests for more details on these many additions for Linux 6.19.
