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
- mmc
- Rework GX support by:
- moving all P212 boards variants under the P212 board code
- moving Khadas VIM2 support under the Q200 board code
- moving Nanopi-K2 support under the Odroid-C2 board code
- Add SPIFC flash controller for the upcoming “La Frite” board
- Add VPU Power domain and VPU clocks support for upcoming video support
