U-Boot v2013.07 released

Hey all,

I'm pleased to announce that v2013.07 has been tagged and pushed out, and will be available shortly in the usual places.

There's once again been a lot of great work done, and aside from the usual rounds of cleanups, bug fixes and new SoC/board support or improvements (your favorite vendor has likely added, improved, or both, their current families support), one thing I want to call out here is the ability to do verified boot.

For more details, take a look at doc/uImage.FIT/signature.txt but in short, you can now cryptographically sign your boot image (kernel, device tree, ramdisk) and verify them at run time. There's still work to be done to make it easier to tie things to a TPM (it's just scriptable today), but hey, there it is. One might even say this is one of those technical features that makes companies chose something other than U-Boot..

Hi Tom,

I'm not seeing the version tag in the master branch or elsewhere in the u-boot repo. Should it not have appeared now?

Amicalement,

Albert.

Dear Albert,

...

It should, but I can't see it either. I guess Tom must have missed the "push out" step...

Best regards,

Wolfgang Denk

Computers are not intelligent.  They only think they are.

Hi Tom,

ARM-related repo custodians, FYI/

u-boot-arm/master merged (fast-forwarded actually) to u-boot/master.

Amicalement,

Albert.
