doc: switch to HTTPS for a few links

2026-08-29T04:41:36Z

It's 2026, we really should be using HTTPS wherever possible. The links in this commit were individually tested, they work fine (the sipeed one sometimes times out but I'm guessing it's hosted in China and it's not uncommon for Europeans to have issues reaching servers there).

doc: develop/sending_patches: use link from ozlabs.org mailman archive

2026-08-29T04:41:36Z

This avoids triggering checkpatch that asks us to use lore.kernel.org where the patchwork mailing list isn't hosted. Signed-off-by: Quentin Schulz

doc: chromium/chainload: update instructions on booting on Snow

2026-08-29T04:41:36Z

The link returns a 404 and the Appendix A. link at the bottom of https://www.chromium.org/chromium-os/developer-library/guides/firmware/firmware-porting-guide is a dead link. I found this by looking on a web search engine for a couple seconds and it seems to be matching the title. No clue where this file is supposed to be exposed so let's point at the file in the git repo for now. Signed-off-by: Quentin Schulz

doc: develop/sending_patches: remove mention to the test mailing list

2026-08-29T04:41:36Z

We don't have one on the new mailman and Tom said[1] it was so rarely used it doesn't make sense for now to set up one on the new mailman, thus drop it. [1] https://libera.catirclogs.org/u-boot/2026-08-25#40371346; Signed-off-by: Quentin Schulz

doc: develop/bootstd: fix link to distro_boot

2026-08-29T04:41:36Z

We never had a file in boot/distro.c. The only time we had a distro_boot() function was between v2022.07 when it was introduced and v2023.07 (excluded) when it was renamed to extlinux_boot(). So let's just point at the latest release that still had it. Signed-off-by: Quentin Schulz

doc: index: update link to mailing list info

2026-08-29T04:41:36Z

The landing page of mailman with all mailing lists hosted on lists.u-boot-project.org isn't really useful to the typical user as the two other lists are for custodians or board maintainers. Therefore, point at the information page for the most relevant mailing list for most users. Signed-off-by: Quentin Schulz

doc: fix broken links to mailing lists

2026-08-29T04:41:36Z

The new domain needs /mailman added after the domain to be able to reach the mailman information page about the mailing list, so add it. Signed-off-by: Quentin Schulz

doc: board/renesas: update clone instructions to use new GitLab

2026-08-29T04:41:36Z

While source.denx.de still resolves at the moment, it's not guaranteed it'll do so forever. So migrate the instructions to the new GitLab at git.u-boot-project.org. Signed-off-by: Quentin Schulz

doc: develop/tests_writing: update links to new GitLab

2026-08-29T04:41:36Z

The GitLab is now hosted at git.u-boot-project.org so let's update those old links that weren't migrated in the previous relocation from gitlab.denx.de to source.denx.de. Signed-off-by: Quentin Schulz

doc: board/siemens: iot2050: update links to files on GitHub

2026-08-29T04:41:36Z

The repo got reorganized into multiple layers in commit https://github.com/siemens/meta-iot2050/commit/db272a3508ed0f0226f6da5bb19e4d21fab55391 so let's update the links to still point at what's intended (hopefully). Signed-off-by: Quentin Schulz
