The commit 284ef1bbcefc ("doc: memory: Add documentation for system RAM") added documentation for U-Boot's memory usage along with diagrams showcasing the SPL's memory usage.

2025-09-16Merge patch series "Modernize U-Boot code formatting with clang-format"Tom Rini
Javier Tia <[email protected]> says: This patch series modernizes U-Boot's code formatting infrastructure by with current Linux kernel practices and providing a more robust and comprehensive formatting solution. Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/[email protected]
2025-09-16doc: Update U-Boot coding style guide with clang-format usageJavier Tia
The U-Boot coding style guide has been updated to include information about using the `.clang-format` configuration file for automatic code formatting. This ensures consistent formatting across the entire codebase and aligns with Linux kernel coding standards. The goal with introducing a predefined coding style is consistency rather than personal preference. The .clang-format file is copied directly from the Linux kernel without any modifications, ensuring complete compatibility with kernel coding standards. Include comprehensive best practices for using clang-format, specifically guidance on formatting only changed blocks versus entire files, creating separate formatting-only commits for better code review, and leveraging git clang-format for targeted formatting. Add examples of editor integrations. This enhancement will help maintainers and contributors to easily adhere to U-Boot coding standards. Signed-off-by: Javier Tia <[email protected]>
2025-09-12mkimage: Add support for bundling TFA BL31 in mkimage -f autoMarek Vasut
Introduce two new parameters to be used with mkimage -f auto to bundle TFA BL31 image into fitImage, using auto-generated fitImage. Add -y to specify TFA BL31 file name and -Y to specify TFA BL31 load and entry point address. This is meant to be used with systems which boot all of TFA BL31, Linux and its DT from a single fitImage, all booted by U-Boot. Example invocation: " $ mkimage -E -A arm64 -C none -e 0x50200000 -a 0x50200000 -f auto \ -d arch/arm64/boot/Image \ -b arch/arm64/boot/dts/renesas/r8a779g3-sparrow-hawk.dtb \ -y ../tfa/build/rcar_gen4/release/bl31.bin -Y 0x46400000 \ /path/to/output/fitImage " Documentation update and test are also included, the test validates both positive and negative test cases, where fitImage does not include TFA BL31 and does include TFA BL31 blobs.

2025-08-25remoteproc: k3: update compatible for am654 sysconAnshul Dalal
The existing compatible name for U-Boot's k3 system controller driver i.e "ti,am625-system-controller" has been added to linux[1] device-tree. This compatible in kernel is meant for configuring the Control Module registers (CTRL_MMR0). However in U-Boot, the matching driver was being used to load the system firmware on the secure M-cores by the R5 SPL and therefore must be updated to a different compatible to avoid conflicts. Therefore, this patch renames all references of the compatible to "ti,am654-tisci-rproc-r5". The "-r5" is appended so as to avoid any future conflicts since r5 specific compatibles should only be useful for U-Boot.

Bryan Brattlof <[email protected]> says: The AM62Ax was created right when TI was shifting to their high security (HS-FS and HS-SE) processes. During this transition a small subset of AM62A parts where configured to use the old "GP" security for internal and for select groups of partners but never sold for the wider public.
