Mar 1, 2025March 2025 — Focused on delivering storage and power-management improvements in flipperdevices/u-boot to enhance hardware readiness and efficiency across supported boards. Key achievements delivered this month include enabling Universal Flash Storage (UFS) support for the J784S4 EVM by enabling UFS in the j784s4-am69 defconfig (commit efaae94c02e7f93b95c7afe505b1b2102c2e45bf). Also enabled Adaptive Voltage Scaling (AVS) for the am68_sk_r5 target by removing the disabling line in the AVS config (commit b0899e4451d839dd8e6240d999b33fe9779b895f). No major bugs fixed this month. Impact: improved storage performance and reliability on J784S4 EVM, better power efficiency and performance balance on am68_sk_r5, enabling broader hardware adoption and quicker validation cycles. Technologies/skills: U-Boot defconfig customization, platform configuration management, cross-target power management, and commit-based change tracking.

Feb 1, 2025February 2025: Reliability and correctness focus for flipperdevices/u-boot. Delivered two critical fixes that strengthen hardware compatibility and remote-core boot stability: (1) TPS65941 LDO voltage calculation fix; (2) K3 DSP remote core firmware cache coherency fix. These changes align regulator configuration with TRM and ensure D-cache is flushed after firmware load, reducing remote-core boot issues. Impact includes lower field support costs, smoother device initialization, and improved compliance with hardware specs. Demonstrated advanced kernel driver work, regulator subsystem handling, remoteproc integration, and cache management. Commit references: e93f11148ae42bbb805077a48ab8cb63137a3a17; 13654f5426d3f9ebc7d1211528c86dd18b91f473.

Jan 1, 2025January 2025 monthly summary for flipperdevices/u-boot focusing on boot reliability improvements for ARM K3. Implemented a boot-time memory allocation fix by removing the 'tifs' node from the Device Tree to ensure the reserved 64KB is accounted for in the TISCI 'msmc_size' calculation, preventing boot-time errors before the OS boots. Change encapsulated in commit 0d837cb075fd0d47a63469c0229966f6328cf165 (arch: arm: mach-k3: Delete tifs node in DT fixup). Resulting in a more robust boot path and clearer memory map for ARM K3 platforms.
