[U-Boot] [ANN] U-Boot v2016.09-rc2 released

Hey all,
It's release day and v2016.09-rc2 is out now. It's a week late as I wanted a few more things in and then next thing I knew it was Thursday, so I just pushed it out. I've updated git and the tarballs are also up now. A short list of changes to come in now are: - More and various SoC and architecture updates - Various DM updates and conversions - PSCI updates - MAKEALL is gone, buildman is for use by all - We now have xtensa support - DT overlays
A non-code change is that now I have Jenkins setup to automatically poll my WIP branches and run test/py/test.py on a few real boards along with sandbox. I still have some more configuring and cabling to do, and a few more boards I can get setup.
If you notice any problems with the release, please speak out and thanks all!

Hi Tom,
A non-code change is that now I have Jenkins setup to automatically
Jenkins - brrr.... I've had a really hard time with this "peculiar" piece of SW.
Run away from it if you still can....
I've switched to buildbot a few months ago and that was _REALLY_ good decision.
A few pros: - It is written in python, so if I need to extend it, then I write code (not write in groovy) and use SCM to store the changes - It's web interface is far more readable than Jenkins (this is what non-tech people say) - It is smaller project, with things which are really needed.
poll my WIP branches and run test/py/test.py on a few real boards along with sandbox.
Great :-)
Do you have any exynos board connected to the setup?

I don't atm. Can they be setup such that they either boot from FAT or a peripheral (non-UART tho) load? I'm going to add an i.MX6 platform next since I know it will let me do a USB load if I don't have the SD card in and then I need to investigate how FEL mode works exactly on allwinner.

I have no experience with jenkins, but plan a tbot integration for it ... Uh... why is it so bad?
I've switched to buildbot a few months ago and that was _REALLY_ good decision.
I use buildbot too on my raspberry pi in conjunction with tbot. See for an example [1] (currently some boards not really working, I have to look at it ...)
I failed to integrate for example some images tbot creates at the end, also results from test/py into buildbot ... so I created a tbot event backend, which writes some results into a mySQL database and made a really simple php script ... see [2]

Ah, yes ... and at the end buildbot was the reason why I started with tbot (and writting it in python).
