BayLibre has continued contribution to the open-source community as seen with this new version of U-Boot v2019.01, released on 14th January 2019.

This release introduces a big rework for Amlogic Meson SoC support in order to:

• Add support for the new AXG platform and ease support for G12A/G12B platforms
• Ease support for new boards based on Amlogic Reference Design

Starting with this release, Neil Armstrong now maintains the Amlogic SoC support with an U-Boot Custodian tree, similar to a kernel.org maintainer tree, now collecting patches for the Amlogic SoC support (board, arch, clock, pinctrl, …) and sending pull-requests to Tom Rini, the U-Boot maintainer.

Since U-Boot v2017.11, BayLibre engineers have pushed:

• 75 patches
• 14804 line changes
• 292 files changes

Here is a summary of our contributions for this release:

Amlogic SoC family:

• Add boot device mode, usable with pyamlboot
• Add support for AXG family
  • pinctrl
  • dts
  • clock
  • network

• Add SPIFC flash controller for the upcoming “La Frite” board
