Hi Tom,

Hey all,
I've released v2016.09 and it's now live on git and FTP and ACD (along with PGP sig file).
To repeat some of the highlights from the rc releases:
- More DM work (MMC, of-platdata for size constrained instances, etc)
- Lots and lots of architecture / SoC / Platform updates: x86, rockchip, sunxi, TI, NXP/FSL, Tegra, Zynq, uniphier
- mkimage cleanups
- More test.py updates, vboot now a testcase
- Secure boot work on both ARM and PowerPC.
- PSCI updates
- MAKEALL is gone, buildman is for use by all
- We now have xtensa support
- DT overlays
- More Kconfig migration
- Some NFS fixes
Note that in some cases you may see a message like: CACHE: Misaligned operation at range [xxxxxxxx,yyyyyyyy] and there's good and bad news here. What had been a debug print (and so off basically) is now a regular message. So there's no new problems, just problems that are now visible and we're working on fixing. Some of these were solved during the cycle but some of them still need some more discussion or just a decision being made (so, that's on me).
Another thing I'd like to call out, and ask for a little help with too is automated testing. The framework in test/py/test.py can be used on real hardware and Stephen Warren has been doing a good job having things run on Tegra boards. You can see his scripts here[1]. I've setup locally some of my boards (some TI, RPi3, A20-OLinuXino-Lime2) and I'm looking at adding more still, so long as I can update U-Boot in a way that does not involve the console. You can see my scripts here[2] and I'm cleaning things up and pushing them back up to Stephen. But there's always more to do and test. Is anyone else out there running this on real hardware, or would like to set this up? Has anyone out there gotten this hooked up with qemu?
I do run them on boards which I have locally connected to my PC - zynq and zynqmp. I have tried it on microblaze but I don't have any setup which I can directly run but I know it works. Then I can run it on qemu without any issue and also I have setup for Xilinx boardfarm which contain hundreds of boards. The main question for me is how to make it stable.
I also want to try SD boot mode with flashair which Stephen tried. I have it here. i have scripts ready but just didn't run it.
Thanks, Michal
