support for NXP i.MX 8M PLUS

[krishnarao21]

Hi
I am using a board which is based on NXP i.MX8M PLUS.
Getting the following details with Detector.
Chip id: IMX8MP
Board id: None

With this unable to import board (i.e. getting NotImplementedError).

Installed required packages Adfruit-Blinka, Adfruit-circuitpython-bno08x, Adfruit-circuitpython-busdevice ...

How to use the i2c interface of the processor gpio with current packages to integrate with the bno08x? is it possible?

Detection for the board will need to be added to https://github.com/adafruit/Adafruit_Python_PlatformDetect. If you'd like to add it yourself, you can follow this guide: https://learn.adafruit.com/adding-a-single-board-computer-to-platformdetect-for-blinka. Otherwise, please provide the board name.

Hi
changed /usr/lib/python3.11/site-packages/adafruit_platformdetect/board.py to detect the board (i.e. NXP_IMX8MPLUS_SOM),
now getting the error from Adafruit_Blinka package
File "/usr/lib/python3.11/site-packages/board.py", line 439, in
raise NotImplementedError(f"Board not supported {board_id}.")
NotImplementedError: Board not supported NXP_IMX8MPLUS_SOM.

There is no folder/file related to NXP in https://github.com/adafruit/Adafruit_Blinka/tree/main/src/adafruit_blinka/board
Please provide support for NXP IMX8MPLUS board, if already provided, please provide me the istructions for use.
