NXP i.MX8 SOC family support

1. Supported devices

i.MX8QuadMax Multisensory Enablement Kit (imx8qm-mek) - device-specific U-boot and Linux kernel, nixos configuration example.
i.MX8QuadXPlus Multisensory Enablement Kit (imx8qxp-mek) - device-specific U-Boot and Linux kernel.

2. How to use

Currently this NXP overlay is used for generating EFI-bootable NixOS images. I recommend to use Tow-Boot as a bootloader, but U-Boot from this overlay can also be used. U-Boot was tested separately from NixOS.

Code snippet example that enables imx8qm configuration:

{ nixos-hardware, }: {
  system = "aarch64-linux";
  modules = [
    nixos-hardware.nixosModules.imx8qm-mek
  ];
}
