AM62L: AM62L u-boot mainline

Marinus Holzner
Intellectual 2110 points

Part Number: AM62L

Hi Apps team, 

 

posting on customer behalv: 

I just checked the build infos of the AM62L SDK and I only see a TI specific fork for u-boot (ti-u-boot). Are there plans to upstream the ti-u-boot and how is the status? 

 

Thank you, 

Marinus

    Hi Marinus,

    The ti-u-boot repo is not a simple fork from the mainline U-Boot. We use "upstream-first" strategy in U-Boot development (and the development in all the components in the Processor SDK as well, including kernel, TF-A, OPTEE, Yocto, etc.).

    In terms of U-Boot, in the beginning of every year when we started a new SDK migration, we took the current mainline U-Boot release tag (for example, U-Boot v2025.01 for SDK 11.x releases), added all TI patches which have not been upstreamed yet. During the SDK development cycle, all new patches would be sent to the mainline first if technically applicable. So that the ti-u-boot repo stays as close as possible with the mainline repo.

    This cycle resets at the beginning of next year when the other new SDK migration starts.

    Please let me know if this clears the concern.
