There's a new open-hardware CM4 compatible board being worked on: https://www.crowdsupply.com/ov-tech-gmbh/pi-mx8-module

How similar is the hardware?

SOC: NXP i.MX 8M Plus

4x A53 cores at up to 1.8 GHz / 1x M7 core at up to 700 MHz
1 GB/2 GB/4 GB/8 GB LPDDR4 system memory
Vivante GC7000UL GPU

Would it be viable to support that board with a fork of this repo?

Hello,

First of all, thanks a lot for your work!

I tried both the server and the desktop images from the 1.6 tag artifacts using qemu in a windows 10 host.

The server image boot correctly and I was able to log-in into the emulated arm limux machine without any issues.

Unfortunatly I could not watch the desktop on qemu due to a dpuv1/lib_dpu.c error (368 open file error).
The system booted up but it seems weston had some issue. I goggled the error wo/any luck.

After that I setup an Ubuntu 20.04 VM on windows, installed dependencies as required in the readme and tried the same desktop image using qemu from linux. Same result.

So I decided to go further and do the full build on the VM (bad idea in terms of time as it took almost two days!!!)

In this process I discovered that this site is no longer available:

https://source.codeaurora.org/external/imx/imx-mkimage/

It must be replaced by

https://github.com/nxp-imx/imx-mkimage

So after the 2 days (it can be improved) I got the two new images.
Tried the qemu script and got the same result. I could not see the Ubuntu Desktop on QEMU.
Do you have any clue where the problem may be?

Have you had any luck getting 22.04 running with most of these scripts? I got the packages to be correct but I just get a black screen in the end and wanted to see if I could try getting 22.04 for longer support.
