Jun 1, 2025

June 2025 monthly summary for flipperdevices/u-boot: Implemented SPL Stage Cache Enablement on the j722s platform, mirroring the am62ax cache enablement to boost SPL boot performance. The change enables caches at the SPL stage to roughly double the speed of the A53 SPL, significantly reducing boot/init time. This work aligns with cross-platform optimization goals and establishes groundwork for broader cache-related improvements across platforms.
