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:

1) Improved sun6i (A31) support, including support for the A31s variant and
    automatic assignment of a SoC serial based MAC address for ethernet
2) Full sun8i (A23) support including DRAM controller init and SPL, so now
    people can boot these boards using a full FOSS solution
3) 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.
