v2023.03.0

Fri Mar 17 04:09:14 PDT 2023

Hi All,

I just released barebox-2023.03.0. We have a bunch of new board
supported this time, all i.MX based: Kosagi Novena, Variscite
DT8MCustomBoard, Polyhex DEBIX Model A and the 8MMINILPD4-CPU2 board.
Along with this the eqos ethernet core is now supported on i.MX8MP.

Another nice thing is that ifup -a now polls for links in parallel and
there now is a ifup -a1 which stops once one network interface is up.
This can speed up bringing up networking significantly when multiple
network interfaces are present, which happens for example with DSA
switches connected.

There are also some bugfixes in this release which are worth noting
here. We now explicitly enable frame pointers on ARM64. This is the
default for several toolchains, but for toolchains where this is not the
default stack unwinding has been broken. TFTP upload support was broken
for a while, this has been fixed now.

Thanks goes out to Ahmad who switched the barebox device trees to
reference nodes in upstream device trees with label-relative and
phandle-relative references. With this we now get compile errors when
names of nodes we supplement in barebox change in the upstream device
trees. Before this silently a new node was added instead which is not
what we want.

See below for a full list of patches in this release.

Have Fun!
  Sascha
