Wandboard ROM

Be careful: there is i.MX 8, i.MX 8M and i.MX 8X. The Pi-Wandboard is based in i.MX 8M, which does not feature SATA and unfortunately also not the Cortex-A72.

Thanks Steffen, I’ve got the specs from the wrong fact sheet. The one for the i.MX8M is here

No SATA, but still I²S and SPDIF. I wonder if that will be available on the GPIO.

Cortex-A53 is not affected by the Spectre vulnerability, the Cortex-A72 is.

Any I²S would have to be implemented primarily in HAL, as it’s going to vary between chips.

I would ask why anyone would want an I²S driver when USB is available – unless there are audio devices on board (I haven’t looked, they are of no interest to me).

Now that support for the Wandboard has been added to SDCreate it’s relatively straightforward to get RISC OS up and running.
Although one thing missing is an AutoSense file for EtherTH in !InetSetup.

Is there a reason for the missing AutoSense file? Licensing?

Looks like it just got missed off. Quick fix is to create an Obey file EtherTH in

!Boot.Resources.Configure.!InetSetup.AutoSense 

SET InetSetup$Driver$Motherboard_0 : TH:eth0:EtherTH:0.01:EtherTH

Yeah, that’s whatI did . Actually, I created a Basic file, as the other files in AutoSense were Basic, but the result is the same.
