Feasibility of Upgrading from Nanbield to Scarthgap Yocto for Production – i.MX8QXP

Hi NXP Team,

We are currently working with the i.MX8QXP platform (imx8qxpc0mek) and have our Yocto setup based on the Nanbield release.

As part of our roadmap planning, we would like to understand the feasibility of upgrading to the latest LTS Yocto release Scarthgap  for production use.

Could you kindly confirm:

  1. Whether Scarthgap is recommended and stable for production builds on the i.MX8QXP?

  2. Are there any known compatibility issues or feature gaps (e.g., with modules like display, BT,WiFi, USB-PD, GNSS, eSIM, IMU, power management, STR, etc.) that we should be aware of compared to Nanbield?

  3. Do you foresee any migration concerns regarding SCFW porting, Linux BSP layers, or peripheral validation?

  4. Is SCFW support and NXP maintained layers (e.g., meta-freescale, meta-imx, meta-nxp-qt6-layer, etc.) already updated for Scarthgap for this SoC?

Your input will help us assess the effort required for a potential LTS upgrade and ensure compatibility with our ongoing peripheral and thermal validation plans.
