[PATCH v3 0/4] arm64: dts: qcom: Add IMDT QCS8550 SBC

From: William Bright

Date: Thu May 07 2026 - 04:37:38 EST


This patch series adds DT support for the IMD Technologies Ltd (IMDT)
QCS8550 SBC and corresponding SoM. The SBC DTS supports the following
hardware on the SBC:
- Gigabit Ethernet (using a Microchip LAN7430 behind the on-board PCIe
switch on PCIE1)
- USB3 as gadget mode only (No DP alt-mode and flip detection support)
- SD card (SDHC2)
- Regulators
- M.2 Key-E (PCIE0) The SoM DTSI supports the following hardware:
- PM8550 PMICs (similar to the SM8550-HDK)
- QCS8550 and UFS

The IMDT QCS8550 SBC hardware is capable of the following but support is
not included in this patch series:
- USB3 flip detection
- 8 MIPI CSI2 cameras are supported using 8 IAS connectors
- MIPI DSI Displays via a DSI/I2C connector
- Microphone input
- Speaker output
- Fan control
- RS232
- M.2 Key-B (also on PCIE1, selected by toggling the on-board PCIe
switch away from the LAN7430 upstream port)
- Wi-Fi and Bluetooth via SDHC4/UART14 using an NXP-IW416 (SDHC4 patch
[1] is awaiting review)

The DTS files were written using the SM8550-HDK as an initial starting
point with patches ported from downstream [2].

Claude Opus 4.7 was used for formatting and reviewing the device trees
against other QCS/SM8550 boards.

Patch 1 adds the IMDT vendor prefix
Patch 2 adds DT bindings for the SoM and SBC
Patch 3 adds the SoM DTSI
Patch 4 adds the SBC DTS

Changes in v3:
- Dropped backlight node since it's unused.
- Dropped regulators which are dead (no usage or not gpio controllable
whilst also not strictly required by a DT node).
- Dropped SBC modem remoteproc entry since the modem is fused off on the
qcs8550.
- Reformatted commit bodies and DTS comments.
- Replaced open-drain properties with bias-disable due to open-drain not
being supported by the tlmm.
- Dropped tlmm entries which are unused.
- Dropped disabling of LPASS codecs as it was unnecessary.
- Dropped bluetooth usage on uart14 and removed references to uart14
since it became unused.
- Patch 2 renamed to "dt-bindings: arm: qcom: Add IMDT QCS8550 SBC/SoM"
- Patch 2 commit body shortened as it had information already found
within the patch 3 body.
- Link to v2: https://patch.msgid.link/20260505-imdt-qcs8550-sbc-rfc-v2-0-b4767d0dd421@xxxxxxxxxxx

Changes in v2:
- Patch 1 relocated to be above qcs8550-aim300-aiot instead of below
- Split the SoM and SBC DT changes into two patches, with patch
3 adding the SoM DTSI and patch 4 adding the SBC DTS.
- Dropped the SDHC4 node in patch 4 to focus on the core
SoM and SBC device trees.
This allows the primary hardware support to progress through
review while waiting for feedback for [1].
