MT6572 is a low-end ARMv7-A (32-bit) MediaTek SoC released in 2013.
There are 3 variants of this SoC with no or slight differences:

  • MT6572W - 100 MHz higher CPU clock(?);
  • MT6572M - 200(?) MHz lower CPU clock, 100 MHz lower GPU clock;
  • MT8312 - the tablet variant of MT6572 without cellular capabilities.

Details on status

Everything marked as Y should be fully functional, hence this section describes items marked as P.
This section (and the SoC infobox) describes mainline Linux functionality status. For U-Boot's status, see its own README.

CPU

SMP works (is able to power on the 2nd core), but no cpufreq.

Display

Only simple-framebuffer (using already initialized display hardware by the LK bootloader) works for now.

U-Boot port

There is a U-Boot fork developed for the MT65xx SoC family (including MT6572).

Currently U-Boot replaces the kernel on this SoC. The end goal is to replace the stock LK entirely.
See the README for more details on the status.
