U-Boot LCD and RTC support

  • For LCD: In the long term yes. But this requires an update of the kernel and a switch of the board support from separate files to Device Trees. We will do this in summer for i.MX6. After that we will see when we can do this step for Vybrid based boards, too. I would not expect this before fall 2015.


    For RTC: Why would you need this? This is a boot loader, not a full featured operating system.

  • RTC in U-Boot is not so important for us. We use it in flash log with timestamp when automatic fw upgrade is made.
    LCD is more important because on the screen we show progress while the system is upgrading. Having black screen with no information during upgrade process is pretty confusing - user doesn't know what is going on.
