Hi All,
We have the v2025.05.0 barebox Release.
There are quite a few changes this time. barebox now has RPMB support
for eMMC devices. The first thing we can do with it is to access the AVB
persistent value store, so barebox can store variables in RPMB
partitions. We also have some new commands: The tree command shows a
directory tree like its Linux pendant. The truncate command can truncate
files to specified sizes which can be useful for debugging and testing
filesystem stuff. The varinfo command can be used to show information
about variables.
Some new boards are supported as well, all STM32MP1 based: The Linux
Automation TAC board, the Linux Automation Fairytux 2 and the Protonic
MECT1S board.
Another nice thing is that we no longer need two barebox builds for the
Beaglebone board. The regular build can now produce a MLO first stage
image as well.
The TLSF allocator is now the default allocator. This is done in
preparation to remove the dlmalloc allocator later this year.
See below for a full list of patches for this release.
Have Fun!
Sascha
