Hi All,
barebox-2024.07.0 is out. The last release was delayed due to me being
ill and since it's July already I decided to skip the release for June
which brings us to a release closer to the beginning of the month rather
than at the end.
This release removes a lot of old ARM boards and long unmaintained SoCs.
With this the ARM architecture has now become PBL which makes the early
startup code simpler and more streamlined.
Also we now have a common way to pass data from PBL to barebox proper.
Until now we only used CPU registers to pass data and some SoCs/boards
used hardcoded locations in SDRAM/SRAM to pass data. With the new
handoff data support it has now become easy to pass arbitrary data
structures from PBL and to find them again in barebox proper. This
mechanism is currently only used on ARM, but could be extended to other
architectures.
Other than that there is the usual flow of fixes and improvements, see
below for details.
Have Fun!
Sascha
