U-Boot v2025.07 released
The U-Boot universal bootloader project
has announced the release of version 2025.07. It has multiple new features
including "uthreads" (inspired by the "bthreads" coroutines in the barebox bootloader), exFAT support,
new architecture and SoC support and improvements to existing platforms,
cleanups, better testing, and more. Project leader Tom Rini took the
opportunity to mention his efforts
toward getting some help with the project and more formal governance:
As this is a full release, and not just a release candidate I'm hoping
for a few more people to read this and then read what I'm linking to as
well. For the overall health of the project, and the community, I'm
hoping to find a few people within the community that can help with
overall organization and management. I would like to long term be able
to move us to being under the Software Freedom Conservancy umbrella and
that in turn means having a organizational structure that's not just a
single person.
He also noted that there is a community meeting on July 8th, 2025 at 9am (GMT -06:00) on Google Meet.
