Hello NXP team,
I’m contacting you regarding the following commit in the imx-firmware repository:
“Remove SD/PCIE W8997 support from BSP from 26Q1 onwards”
Could you please clarify whether the W8997 firmware was only removed from the standard imx-firmware package or wheter support for these devices has been discontinued entierly ?
We can retrieve the last W8997 firmware files from the Git history, so our main question is about the recommended way to maintain W8997 support while continuing to use the latest imx-firmware releases.
Is it supported to install the latest imx-firmware package and add the W8997 firmware files from the last release that contained them?
If so, is there any recommended procedure or packaging approach to do this cleanly and avoid conflicts with future imx-firmware updates?
Our goal is to keep systems on the latest i.MX firmware package while preserving support for older deployed hardware based on the 88W8997.
Best regards,
Antoine Gennart
