Hi Dennis et al,

As you may have heard Ian Campbell and I have become u-boot
custodians for sunxi boards.

As such we've been working hard to get sunxi support into
shape for the upcoming v2014.10 release.

Yesterday sun4i (the original A10) and sun5i (A13 / A10s)
support got merged to complete the existing sun7i (A20) support,
as well as most of the PSCI code needed to do smp + hyp mode on
the A20.

I've just send a pull-request adding AHCI, EHCI and PSCI support +
support for 14 new boards. You can find the branch for this here:

http://git.denx.de/?p=u-boot/u-boot-sunxi.git;a=shortlog

So assuming that F-21 will use v2014.10 that should put us in
pretty good shape wrt sunxi support. I would like to make sure
that Fedora can use upstream u-boot as-is. AFAIK we still need
to do some work wrt unified distro support / config_distro_defaults.h
e.g. I think we need to specify the dts file name for each board
config somewhere for thinks to work ootb, correct ?
Good news, I've done the work for the generic-distro support stuff
to just work OOTB, and all the necessary changes have just landed
in the u-boot master branch upstream. So if we go with the v2014.10
release then from the sunxi pov everything which we will need will
just be there.
That sounds like great news. Does that include video support? - I am thinking HDMI on an Allwinner A10 MK801ii device where I cannot use a serial console to support/check boot.

Thanks for your efforts.
Rob

Regards,

Hans
