I am trying to develop an application with HiKey 96 Board. ARM DS-5 claims to support any board with an ARM based SoC. Does it support the HiKey board? In general, how do I find if ARM DS-5 supports a board?
DS-5 needs some glue logic to support any development board.
DS-5 ships with this glue logic for the boards listed in supported devices. In other words, DS-5 should work out-of-box with these boards.
If the board is not listed, then check if DS-5 supports the processor in the board. Processors supported are listed here. If DS-5 supports the processor inside a board, then DS-5 can be made to work with that board, provided glue logic can be created.
As of now, DS-5 does not have built-in support for HiKey board. However, DS-5 supports Cortex-A53, the processor in the HiKey board.
