doc/buildman: fix missing :: on examples

2026-03-27T09:52:43+00:00

Fix 4 instances in buildman.rst where examples were missing :: for
proper formatting. Three cases just had a single : and in one case,
: didn't make grammatical sense, so it gets a stand-alone :: along
with fixing the indent.

treewide: fix uImage.FIT document paths

2026-03-27T09:50:29+00:00

Commit 488445cefa1 ("doc: Move FIT into its own directory") moved the
documentation in doc/uImage.FIT to doc/usage/fit, subsequently all
documents and example sources have been converted to reStructuredText.

Fix (almost) all of the remaining occurrences of the old path and
filenames across the tree.

The exception is doc/uImage.FIT/command_syntax_extensions.txt which
apparently has been removed entirely, or at least I was unable to
locate where that document is now.

kbuild: fix cross_tools compilation

2026-03-10T21:06:55+00:00

Frieder reports that after the kbuild sync running
make tools-only_defconfig
make cross_tools
fails with

UPD     include/generated/timestamp_autogenerated.h
PYMOD   rebuild
tools/Makefile:359: *** insufficient number of arguments (1) to function
'filter'.  Stop.
make: *** [Makefile:2191: tools] Error 2

After the sync 'hostprogs-always-y' contains the complete list of
the tools we need to strip, so the $(filter) command is not needed.

tools/atmelimage: add const qualifier to fix compiler warning

2026-03-04T20:25:18+00:00

More strict checks in GCC 15 expose a new warning:
tools/atmelimage.c: In function ‘atmel_find_pmecc_parameter_in_token’:
tools/atmelimage.c:64:31: error: assignment discards ‘const’ qualifier from pointer target type [-Werror=discarded-qualifiers]
64 |                         param = strstr(token, "=");
   |                               ^
cc1: all warnings being treated as errors

Add 'const' qualifier to variable 'param' to prevent build failing
due to -Werror.

CI: Update to using grub-2.14 for our tests

2026-02-06T15:29:58+00:00

When building grub-2.12 with a newer GCC, we run in to warings (treated
as errors). The simple fix here is to move to the latest release tag. In
order to build a newer grub from source we need the autoconf-archive
package to be installed.

tools: sunxi-spl-image-builder: support H6/H616 NAND boot

2026-02-03T20:45:27+00:00

The H6/H616 boot ROM doesn't expect a SPL scrambled the same way as
older SoCs.
It doesn't use a specific seeds table, it expects a maximized ECC
(BCH-80), a specific BBM (FF000301) and doesn't work if empty pages are
skipped (it needs its specific BBM, even in the padding).

So, add a --soc=h6 option to support H6/616 with:
- more ECC strengths
- specific BBM
- default_scrambler_seeds[] with all values
- no empty pages skip

In Kconfig, select BCH-80 by default for SUNXI_SPL_ECC_STRENGTH to make
BROM happy.

And in scripts/Makefile.xpl, use --soc=h6 option when building for a
SUN50I_GEN_H6 SoC.

Tested on Whatsminer H616 board, booting from NAND.

mkimage: fit: align DTs in external data to 8 Bytes by default

2026-02-02T15:15:52+00:00

Unless specified otherwise using the mkimage -B n option, align
DTs in fitImage external data to 8 Bytes, and retain alignment
of everything else to 4 Bytes. This should fulfill the DTspec
requirement, that DTs must be placed at 8 Byte aligned addresses,
even for DTs that are part of fitImage with external data. For
fitImage with embedded data, there is nothing we can do, as the
embedded data are aligned to 4 Bytes, just like any other DT
property.

Replace fdtdec_get_child_count() counting of images with counting
of padding using fdt_for_each_subnode(). This is much more useful,
as the added up padding can be passed directly to calloc() when
allocating the buffer which holds the external data. The image
count is no longer needed.

Adjust the image layouting such, that buf_ptr is incremented to
place the next image at align_size aligned offset. This is done
at the beginning of the loop, once the align_size for current
image can be determined from the current image type.

Update binman test to validate the new 8 Byte alignment.

tools: Handle realloc failure in strlist_add

2026-01-28T20:41:21+00:00

If realloc fails, list->strings was set to NULL and
it would create a leak. This commit ensures that if we cannot
add a string to the list, the list stays in a good state.

binman: Regenerate expired test certificate

The test certificate expired on Feb 13, 2024. This just used for
testing, so regenerate it with a 100-year validity period.

Merge patch series "sc5xx: Add complete board support for all ADI SC5xx boards"

2026-01-23T20:55:32+00:00

Greg Malysa  says:

This series adds the final pieces to enable mainline U-Boot to build and
boot all Analog Devices SC5xx SoCs and supports the associated carrier
board options. At this point it should be viable for new users for these
platforms to start with the latest version of U-Boot rather than our
vendor fork, however some features (such as OSPI support and falcon
boot) remain unavailable until we are able to unify our implementations
with the mainline implementations.
