At one time there was a port for the imx6-based Utilite system. I'm not
sure if it was ever committed or existed only in patch form. Either
way, I'm also not sure it ever worked and not sure that system was ever
properly supported. At one point I looked into buying one so we could
support it better, but it's so ridiculously overpriced that I didn't
bother, figuring nobody was going to pay that much for obsolete
hardware like 32gb SSD drives anyway, so support isn't really
important.
