A summary of the most significant changes since v1.3:

  • We've been build-testing successfully on Travis CI for quite a while now, including
    automated checking of new pull requests.
  • sunxi-fel has received many fixes, and gained several new features: progress
    indicator, some new commands, and recently the ability to affect the U-Boot
    environment (variables).
  • Some bugfixes were made in the .fex utilities (sunxi-fexc/bin2fex/fex2bin).
  • @ssvb implemented a UART "hello world" program that can serve as an example
    for "bare metal" programming of Allwinner SoCs.
  • A sunxi-nand-image-builder utility by @bbrezillon to prepare "raw" NAND images.
