Norman, I had talked about this earlier. We really need an i.MX6 reference platform. Both the Wandboard or the saberlite are good choices. I prefer the saberlite since it is the official FS ref design. I think a lot of us have variants of base_hw running on i.MX6. And F.OC and seL4 also support it.
We do have a ref. i.MX6 tablet (production quality) coming next month that will end up as an additional ref. platform for us since we can actually run a virtualized android on it. I think the vendor plans to sell for for 300 USD. It has HAB enabled so we can have a truly secure platform.
When it becomes stable and generally available, I would like to see it adopted as a ref. platform since it will be a usable android tablet running on genode (albeit with slightly poor battery life courtesy the i.MX6 !). I also want to convince the vendor to upgrade the display. But it is a nice aluminium chassis so does not look to shoddy.

Hello Praveen,
We have developed a Genode device driver for USDHC card reader for Freescale i.MX6 procesor.
You may find the corresponding code in the repository, https://github.com/srinivasprv/genode
The specific driver code is available in usdhc directory of sd_card directory.
thank you for sharing your work with us! Your patch looks very nice. Coincidentally, we just added an SD-card driver for the i.MX53 platform last week. See the following commit referenced at the following issue:
https://github.com/genodelabs/genode/issues/1458
Whereas the i.MX53 driver addresses the so-called ESDHC controller, your patch addresses the USDHC controller. Are both drivers complementary?
On another note, the mainline Genode version does not officially support i.MX6 yet. So I am afraid that including your driver without prior enabling i.MX6 would not be very sensible. As a precondition, we should enable at least one i.MX6-based platform (e.g., Wandboard?). Otherwise, we would not able to add your driver to our regular test infrastructure. What do you think about how to go about it?
Best regards Norman
