STM32H747I-DISCO U-Boot support

[krjdev]

Hi!

I ordered now a STM32H747I-DISCO board. Have looked in the source tree from U-Boot (ST fork and mainline). I know there is a support for STM32H743I-EVAL board. Wondering why there isn't a support for the STM32H747I-DISCO.

Generic question:

Has somebody interests when I add U-Boot support for the STM32H747I-DISCO Board?

(Maybe I could also add Linux support. Okay, 32MiB is maybe not enough RAM...)

It's maybe only a gimmick...

Relatively low I'd suspect. The ability to pull data via Ethernet and into internal/external flash has some appeal, but uBoot and ucLinux have minimal traction.

>>Maybe I could also add Linux support.

With so many better embedded linux platforms, one wonders why?

That's true. But there was also support for the STM32H743I-EVAL board in Linux.

U-Boot:

I have also released patches for none-STMicroelectronics platforms (device driver as example) for U-Boot. But currently don't add a specific board. It's for the purpose of education and a fun project for me.

Why I use STM32 platforms?

I want to develop a RT micro kernel and because the STM32 products are really good documented, I choose this as starting platform...
