I think audio and video work now, including HDMI. Even though I have like a dozen imx6 boards here, I've never tried audio or video. The imx6 things I'm most likely to focus on this year are driven by the needs of $work: - IEEE-1588 / PTP - Better power management - imx6ul support On a personal level, I've thought about buying an imx6qp board and see if the 'quad-plus' enhancements noticibly speed up anything except the graphics processors we don't support. What doesn't work that you'd like to see working? That's probably the best place to start with helping, but sometimes even just asking for something gets surprising results. For example I think we lack a SPI driver, and that's the kind of thing someone might spend a few days writing if there were a request for it. -- Ian
