Hi,

I assume that we will be rebasing u-boot to the just released v2015.01 for F-22? But I was wondering if there is any chance we can jump to v2015.04 ? The reason I'm asking is that things are progressing quite rapidly on the u-boot side, at least with Allwinner SoC support, I've just send a pull-req for v2015.04 with the following highlights:
- Improved sun6i (A31) support, including support for the A31s variant and automatic assignment of a SoC serial based MAC address for ethernet
- Full sun8i (A23) support including DRAM controller init and SPL, so now people can boot these boards using a full FOSS solution
- Many improvement to the graphical console support, automatic selection of the native mode for HDMI/DVI monitors via DDC + EDID, LCD panel
support, VGA output support 4) Preparation work for OTG controller support, together with 3) this allows using u-boot on tablets effortlessly. The rest of the OTG support is going upstream through the usb tree
And if possible I would like to see this end up in Fedora 22 :)
An initial build of 2015.04rc3 will be in rawhide tomorrow, so please test, I've enabled a few extra new devices and I'll be reviewing the rest of the new devices over the next week or so.
Please test, once it's settled down and we're fairly certain all the usual suspects haven't regressed we'll move it into F-22 before beta starts to get locked down.
I noticed that -rc4 has also been build, so I've given that a test-run on sunxi instead: http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=622061
From a sunxi pov this build looks good.
Talking about enabling extra boards, from a sunxi pov I would like to see the following enabled:
Common / widely available dev-boards:
Linksprite_pcDuino3_Nano Linksprite_pcDuino3 Linksprite_pcDuino Marsboard_A10 Orangepi (*) Orangepi_mini (*)
Common / widely used top set boxes: CSQ_CS908 Mele_I7 Mele_M5 Mele_M9 ba10_tv_box i12-tvbox
Common / widely used "hdmi sticks": mk802_a10s mk802 mk802ii
This leaves some special dev boards (official allwinner devkits mostly), some uncommon top set boxes / hdmi sticks, and a bunch of tablets. I would like to eventually enable tablets, but atm without otg support being upstream they are not really usable yet.
Once we have the tablets usable, we should probably just do a grep in configs/_defconfig for SUNXI and just enable all of them to avoid having to manually keep a list. I'm fine with switching to such a grep right away.
Regards,
Hans
*) The Orangepi's do not have a dts upstream yet, but we do need to enable them eventually, might just as well do so now.
