Mobileye Eyeq6Lplus SoC Support Being Worked On For Mainline Linux Kernel
The mainline Linux kernel already supports several different Mobileye SoCs for that company focused on self-driving tech and advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS). Consulting firm Bootlin has been working on bringing their latest SoC, the Mobileye Eyeq6Lplus, to the mainline Linux kernel.
Benoît Monin of Bootlin sent out a set of patches last week that would bring the Mobileye EyeQ6Lplus SoC to the mainline kernel support. The Mobileye EyeQ6Lplus is based on the MIPS I6500 IP with two cores and eight threads plus having specialized controllers and accelerators for driving assistance systems.
The initial set of 13 Linux kernel patches bring up the EyeQ6Lplus SoC plus the evaluation board with support for its Other Logic Block "OLB", UART, one GPIO controller, two SPI controllers, one octoSPI controller, and two I2C controllers.
Those interested in this support for the Mobileye Eyeq6Lplus SoC working its way toward the mainline Linux kernel can find the initial patches on the kernel mailing list.
