April 2025 focused on safety, toolchain alignment, and build reliability for trusted-firmware-a. Delivered critical MISRA C compliance fixes in the ARM platform setup, updated toolchain documentation to reflect GCC 14.2.Rel1, and resolved a RAM overflow issue in BL2 when using RSA+ECDSA with GCC 14.2.1. These changes reduce undefined behavior risks, ensure developers build against correct toolchains, and improve binary stability across platforms.
