The mainline Linux kernel already supports several different Mobileye SoCs for that company focused on self-driving tech and advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS). Consulting firm Bootlin has been working on bringing their latest SoC, the Mobileye Eyeq6Lplus, to the mainline Linux kernel.

Benoît Monin of Bootlin sent out a set of patches last week that would bring the Mobileye EyeQ6Lplus SoC to the mainline kernel support. The Mobileye EyeQ6Lplus is based on the MIPS I6500 IP with two cores and eight threads plus having specialized controllers and accelerators for driving assistance systems.
