IMX8 footprints

[petey815]

Hello friends,

I am looking at the IMX8MP SOM/EVB with the hope to test it out and adapt parts of the board layout for a personal project.

I've opened the files up in Kicad 9, and while there were a few migration steps needed due to the original layout being done in kicad 5, it looks good.

However, I cannot seem to find the footprint that is called out for the IMX8, specifically, 'OLIMEX_IC-FP:FCBGA548_Pitch-0.5mm_Ball-0.25mm_Dimensions-15x15x1.5mm'

I downloaded the OLIMEX_IC-FP from here, but it does not seem to have the FCBGA548 package
https://github.com/OLIMEX/KiCAD/tree/master/KiCAD_Footprints/OLIMEX_IC-FP.pretty

I also had some trouble finding the 'OLIMEX_IC-FP:SOT949-6(HVQFN56)' package for the power management IC

Would it be possible to include these footprints in the Github repository with the rest of the Kicad files, or perhaps I might be looking in the wrong spot?

Thank you for the help! and hats off to you for making the board design open source, so people can learn what goes into these type of designs

These haven't been recently updated and it is probably missing. Will update them today with latest ones, notice that there are sub-folders for KiCAD 6 and KiCAD 7 (since these are incompatible). If you are using KiCAD 9 then probably use the footprints for the KiCAD 7 subfolder.

I've brought in the updated footprint files and everything looks good in the Kicad project now.

Thank you for the help!
