Hi everyone,
A few weeks ago I cloned the u-boot-imx git and was able to build u-boot for the mx28evk without problems. Just great, but I was wondering how to tell which u-boot version would be the best to pick. Is it just "the latest and greatest", or is there also some release-scheme like for the kernel, with mainline or stable versions that will be maintained?
Now I have "U-Boot 2013.01-10534-gbec0160-dirty". I did take a look at the tags, but the latest one is for 2009.08. For the regular u-boot, tags seem to be more recent.
Thanks,
Ruud

The U-Boot release cycle is documented here:

u-boot-imx has the last merged patches for i.MX development, that are not yet merged into u-boot mainline, but they will be in a short time. But if you really want to stick with a tag, you should get your sources from u-boot mainline.
