Thanks, you could keep using it with e.g. the latest Colibri iMX8QXP (;-p). Should I send you one?

Well, the original PXA270 went end-of-life more than 5 years ago. We re-designed for the die-shrinked PXA270M which will now end-of-life next year. Anyway, it is no longer orderable but customers having put in their last-time-buy quantities will still get them shipped next year. https://developer.toradex.com/products/colibri-pxa270#revision-history _______________________________________________ U-Boot mailing list U-Boot@lists.denx.de https://lists.denx.de/listinfo/u-boot
