If everything goes well, we will probably make our next release with this version. Otherwise u-boot-2008.10 should be stable for production use. Feel free to file bugs about it in our normal tracker.

The recommended releases are 2009R1-RC6 for Linux distribution, 2009R1-RC10 for toolchain and 2009R1-RC3 for uboot. In this release, new BF51x, bf522/4/6, bf538/9 cores and relative on-chip peripheral drivers are supported. Dual core SMP kernel and kgdb is enabled for bf561 to allow multi process application to run on both cores. Building and loading code into L2 SRAM is supported by both kernel and toolchain. Power management is full functional on all blackfin cores to save power for embedded application. All hardware anomaly in Blackfin on-chip USB is walked around to make USB driver more stable in both host and peripheral mode. A lot of new peripheral devices are enabled for blackfin, such as ad73322, ssm2602, adv7183B, ad7879, ad5588, ad5520, spi over sport, wifi over sdio, ethernet over spi, sound gardget over USB, etc. JPEG lib is optimized in assembly for blackfin. Oprofile tool is enabled again in kernel 2.6.28. On-chip ATAPI, SDIO and USB is supported in uboot. SPI Eeprom subsystem is replaced by new SPI flash subsystem in uboot.

| 2011-04-02 | Posted By: Mike Frysinger u-boot development moved to git Most aspects of the u-boot development have been migrated to git now. If people notice any bugs, feel free to open a tracker item on the topic. There probably will be growing pains along the way. Subversion access still exists as a read-only mirror, and only trunk is automatically updated from the git repo. This is mostly to keep from breaking the automated testing that we do internally. Once they update things, this automatic conversion will probably be shut off. http://blackfin.uclinux.org/git/?p=u-boot Discussions |

We are pleased to announce the Support Forum for u-boot, toolchain and Linux will be moved to a more powerful site, the Analog EngineerZone! EngineerZone brings more powerful functions like permitting you to monitor a single topic by email, this help you to focus on specific topics you are working on, it also permits you to mark your post as "Question" and remark it as "Answered" until the problem is solved. New help communities URLs: Toolchain: http://ez.analog.com/community/dsp/open-source/gnu-toolchain-blackfin">http://ez.analog.com/community/dsp/open-source/gnu-toolchain-blackfin U-boot: http://ez.analog.com/community/dsp/open-source/uboot-blackfin">http://ez.analog.com/community/dsp/open-source/uboot-blackfin uClinux: http://ez.analog.com/community/dsp/open-source/linux-blackfin">http://ez.analog.com/community/dsp/open-source/linux-blackfin These new communities will be launched since Oct. 24 and current forums will be turned into read only one week after the launch time. We will answer any switching released questions in the current forums. Please as other new questions in the new Engineer Zone communities only. Please go to http://ez.analog.com to create a new account, navigate to "Processors and DSP->Open Source Platform and Software" and ask/review the questions there. There is also a "help with using EngineerZone" button to guide you to make advanced use of the EngineerZone. Thanks for your support and understanding. Discussions |

| 2012-05-04 | Posted By: Sonic Zhang 2012R1 BETA1 Linux distribution for BF60x family is released. ADSP-BF60x is the new generation Blackfin® dual-core processor announced by ADI in late March, 2012. See news at http://www.analog.com/en/press-release/03_28_12_ADI_Blackfin_Processors_Accelerated_Visio/press.html To engage customers into the BF60x based product development earlier, we are pleased to announce the 2012R1 BETA1 release of the Linux distribution for the BF60x family. This release includes 3 packages: 2012R1-BETA1-BF60X buildroot Linux distribution, 2012R1-BETA1 GNU toolchain and 2012R1-BETA1-BF60X Das U-boot. Buildroot Linux distribution is introduced for ADI BF60x and future processors for the first time. An overview and basic guide can be found at http://docs.blackfin.uclinux.org/doku.php?id=buildroot_on_blackfin . All BF5xx processors are still supported in the uClinux distribution, but they are not part of this BF60x specific release. Das U-boot and GNU toolchain now support both BF60x and BF5xx. But, they are only tested against BF60x in this release. That means this 2012R1 Beta release aims BF60x based products only. In addition, as a BETA release, not all features are complete or well tested. Please check the feature list and bug tracker at http://blackfin.uclinux.org . We are now working on the RC release to minimize the gaps. The released images, source code and testing results are free to download from the same web site. We appreciate your bug report and any suggestion on ADI support forums. New features in this release: - Toolchain stays with GCC 4.3. Das u-boot stays with 2011.09. Linux kernel is updated to 3.3.0. Buildroot is based on 2011.05 release. - CPU type BF606, BF607, BF608 and BF609 are supported by GCC. LDR utility is revised to generate BF60x style LDR binary. JTAG debug utility are upgraded to know BF609. - Das U-boot support 4 boot mode for BF609, SPI master boot, NOR flash boot, UART boot and SD boot. - EMAC, SD, UART, I2C/TWI, USB, SPI, SPI flash, NOR flash drivers are enabled on BF609 EZ-Kit in uboot. - Port DMA, EMAC, RSI/SD, UART, I2C/TWI, USB, SPI flash, NOR flash, CAN, Rotary, watchdog and GP timer Linux drivers to BF609. - Develop new Linux drivers for BF609 EZ-Kit, such as SEC, SPI, CRC, link port, etc. - Enable Linux power management and CPU frequency features for BF609. New wake up sources are supported. - Add ieee1588 hardware time stamp support in BF609 EMAC driver. Support IEEE1588 v2 protocol and Linux hardware time stamping API in new PTPd2 server. - VS6624 V4L2 camera driver are enabled via BF609 style EPPI controller. - ad1761 ASOC sound drivers are enabled on top of new BF609 SPORT controller. - USB video camera driver for NOMMU architecture is validated on BF609 EZ-Kit. - Set up new Jenkins based test framework to ease debugging and progress tracking. - Bring up new buildroot Linux distribution for bf60x and future processors. Most user packages in uClinux distribution are included already. More other packages are supported as well.
