  I plan to purchase the I-Pi SMARC IMX8M Plus development kit to get started.  However at some point I would like to try a SMARC module using the i.mx8 QuadMax with 4 Cortex A53 and 2 Cortex A72 cores.  My question is will the Ubuntu build and instructions work with this other card?  Are there other potential issues I should be aware of when using a different SMARC card?

  NXP didn't support the native Ubuntu image.

  Acually,
    this instruction is using Ubuntu rootfs which is on the top of NXP kernel image and the building logic should work on i.mx8 QuadMax.

   Another thing is our Yocto BSP wouldn't boot up in your i.mx8 QuadMax I guess because of there would be differnt memory configurations.
