8 daysboot: Add fit_config_get_hash_list() to build signed node listSimon Glass
The hashed-nodes property in a FIT signature node lists which FDT paths are included in the signature hash. It is intended as a hint so should not be used for verification. Add a function to build the node list from scratch by iterating the configuration's image references. Skip properties known not to be image references. For each image, collect the path plus all hash and cipher subnodes. Use the new function in fit_config_check_sig() instead of reading 'hashed-nodes'. Update the test_vboot kernel@ test case: fit_check_sign now catches the attack at signature-verification time (the @-suffixed node is hashed instead of the real one, causing a mismatch) rather than at fit_check_format() time. Update the docs to cover this. The FIT spec can be updated separately.

2026-02-23doc: board: samsung: exynos-mobile: remove requirement of stub device treeKaustabh Chakraborty
Flashing U-Boot for Exynos 7870 requires creating a stub device tree, where certain properties and nodes are defined which are populated by the previous bootloader in the phones. Since these properties are now available in the U-Boot device tree, it's now possible to use the same blob generated by U-Boot in place of the stub, when creating boot images. Update the build documentation to reflect the same. Signed-off-by: Kaustabh Chakraborty <kauschluss@disroot.org> Signed-off-by: Minkyu Kang <mk7.kang@samsung.com>

This makes it safe to build boot images using the non-DTB U-Boot binary, while taking up less space. Reflect this change in documentation.

2026-02-02Merge patch series "m68k: Add support for QEMU virt machine"Tom Rini
Kuan-Wei Chiu <visitorckw@gmail.com> says: Add support for the QEMU 'virt' machine on the m68k architecture. The QEMU virt machine models a generic system utilizing Goldfish virtual peripherals and is capable of emulating various classic 68k CPUs. Currently, U-Boot's m68k architecture support focuses on ColdFire variants. This series expands support to include the classic M680x0 architecture, implementing the necessary exception vectors, startup code, and a bootinfo parser compatible with the QEMU interface. Drivers for Goldfish peripherals (TTY, Timer, RTC) and the QEMU Virtual System Controller (sysreset) are also added to enable serial console, timekeeping, and system reset functionality. The implementation has been verified on QEMU targeting the M68040 CPU, confirming successful hardware initialization and boot to the U-Boot command shell. Additionally, the CI configuration was verified locally using gitlab-ci-local "qemu_m68k_virt test.py", resulting in PASS qemu_m68k_virt test.py.

Add support for the QEMU 'virt' machine on the m68k architecture. This board emulates a generic machine based on the Motorola 68040 CPU equipped with Goldfish virtual peripherals. Introduce the necessary board configuration and initialization infrastructure. The implementation includes logic to parse the QEMU bootinfo interface, enabling dynamic detection of system RAM size to adapt to the virtual machine's configuration. Enable the Goldfish TTY driver for serial console output. Additionally, enable Goldfish RTC and timer drivers to support real-time clock functionality and nanosecond-resolution delays.
