i.MX6 Carplay (3.10.17)

[brucecollie]

Hi,

I am currently working on implementing Apple's Carplay software on an i.MX6 board. This requires USB OTG role swapping, which is not included in the supported BSP I am using:

Board: imx6qsabreauto

BSP: 3.10.17

This functionality is implemented in version 3.17 of the kernel, and this thread suggests that a patch exists to include the functionality in 3.10.17.

Is there any way to build 3.17 for the device, or can anyone point me in the right direction to obtain a patch for 3.10.17?

Thank you

Hi Carlos,

Would you be able to let me know the licensing situation with the supplied patch? We would like to be able to distribute the code as part of our product if possible.

Thanks
