Dear Mailinglist followers,

in the past days development has been started which adds support for the 
Wandboard to the next minor release of IPFire (2.15). The Wandboard is 
an i.MX6 ARM based SoC, more details can be found on the official 
webpage: http://www.wandboard.org

All required changes on the linux kernel can be found on our git. 
(http://git.ipfire.org/?p=people/stevee/ipfire-2.x.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/imx6q-wandboard-rbased). 
I commited a working kernel configuration for the imx platform only, 
which has to be enhanced for a full mutli-platform kernel.

Some first tests on the hardware have been done, IPFire boots up fine 
and runs smooth, but there is still some work and a lot of testing to 
do, in order to get all hardware components and features of IPFire to 
run. Everybody is  cordially invited to help us testing, all required 
files can be downloaded from 
http://people.ipfire.org/~stevee/ipfire-arm-multi/.
