I hope they can get SoC vendors onboard. Broken & old BSPs are really tiring, as is waiting for the small user community to slowly upstream all that work. It can take years for the support for a new SoC to mature in upstream Linux. The companies building products upon these SoCs are kinda between rock and hard place, and I think this shows for the user as well (you get old kernel with little to no security updates? it's because you're using a hacked up BSP).
- summm 5y agoThe SoC vendors are doing this on purpose, in order to increase sales. Planned obsolescence. They will not change that without significant pressure.
