U-Boot v2025.10 released

Version 2025.10 of the U-Boot boot loader has been released with new features, including Python tooling improvements, cleanups for implicit header inclusions, better support for numerous Arm platforms, support for new RISC-V platforms, better documentation, and more. Maintainer Tom Rini also reports on some project news:

As I mentioned with the v2025.07 release, I was looking for a few people to step up and help with the overall organization and management of the project. To that end, Peter Robinson and Neil Armstrong have stepped up and have been helping me. This has been part of the process for the project to join up under the Software Freedom Conservancy's (SFC) umbrella and have a legal entity that can help the project work with other legal entities on things like donations.

Hey all, So it's release day and so here is v2025.10. I will be merging the next branch back to master shortly and pushing that out as well. As this is a full release, and not just a release candidate I'm once again hoping for a few more people to read this than do my -rc emails or just regular mailing list posts. As I mentioned with the v2025.07 release, I was looking for a few people to step up and help with the overall organization and management of the project. To that end, Peter Robinson and Neil Armstrong have stepped up and have been helping me. This has been part of the process for the project to join up under the Software Freedom Conservancy's (SFC) umbrella and have a legal entity that can help the project work with other legal entities on things like donations. To that end, we'll have representatives from SFC on the next call to answer any questions or concerns people might have. With that said, we'll have our regularly scheduled community meeting tomorrow. The meeting details itself are: https://meet.google.com/btj-wgcg-euw October 7th, 2025. 9am (GMT -06:00) To join by phone: https://meet.google.com/tel/btj-wgcg-euw?pin=130752855232... A high level changelog from v2025.07 until now is: - Updates to some of our python tooling, both the tools themselves and documentation / usability of them for some of the platform specific portions. - Upstream device trees resynced with v6.16-dts tag. - Lots of cleanups around implicit header inclusions. Out of tree boards might now fail to compile because they had gotten <env.h> or some other common headers implicitly included from something else for example. - Our Kbuild infrastructure has been resynced with v5.1 of the Linux Kernel (and more is under development still). - Improvements to numerous ARM platforms from TI (K3 and AM33xx), MediaTek, STM32, NXP i.MX, Renesas R-Car, Qualcomm (both Snapdragon and IQx families), Allwinner, AMD/Xilinx, Atmel, Marvell, Rockchip, SoCFPGA, Tegra, Samsung. If custodians want to follow-up and highlight specifics please do. - Updates and some new RISC-V platforms as well. - Standard boot now has RAUC support. - The LMB rework that went in to the "next" branch near the begining of that window is now here. - A large number of code correctness problems found by Smatch have been fixed. - Both more and better documentation in a lot of places which is in our generated readthedocs output now. - Improvements in both our legacy networking stack, lwIP support and areas shared by both stacks. And I'm sure there's things I've missed. With all of that said, we're on our usual cycle of 3 weeks for -rc1, which will be October 27th and then every other week for -rc tags until the release of v2026.01 on January 5th, 2026. Thanks all! -- Tom
