[PATCH 00/24] luks: Provide basic support for unlocking a LUKS1 partition
by Simon Glass 31 Oct '25

31 Oct '25

From: Simon Glass <sjg(a)chromium.org> With full-disk encryption (FDE) it is traditional to unlock a LUKS partition within userspace as part of the initial ramdisk passed to Linux. The user is prompted for a passphrase and then the disk is unlocked. This works well but does have some drawbacks: - firmware has no way of knowing whether the boot will success - the 'passphrase' prompt comes quite late in the boot, which can be confusing for the user - specifically it is not possible to provide an integrated 'boot' UI in firmware where the user can enter the passphrase - in a VM environment, the key may be known in advance, but there is no way to take advantage of this - it is not possible to use an encryted disk unless also using a ramdisk This series makes a small step towards improving U-Boot in this area. It allows a passphrase to be checked against a LUKS1-encrypted partition. It also provides read-only access to the unencrypted data, so that files can be read.

[PATCH 1/1] bloblist: adjust default bloblist size after reloc
by Heinrich Schuchardt 30 Oct '25

30 Oct '25

If neither CONFIG_BLOBLIST_FIXED NOR CONFIG_BLOBLIST_ALLOC is set, currently CONFIG_BLOBLIST_SIZE_RELOC defaults to 0 except if * CONFIG_ARM=y && CONFIG_EFI_LOADER=y && GENERATE_ACPI_TABLE=y. A size of zero never makes sense for a bloblist. When using QFW we need more than 64 KiB to host the ACPI table. In this case CONFIG_BLOBLIST_ALLOC is used. Set a reasonable default. Remove the CONFIG_BLOBLIST_SIZE_RELOC in ARM QEMU defconfigs which are not compatible with ACPI tables passed from QEMU.

[PATCH 00/24] bootctl: Expand bootctl to include a new UI
by Simon Glass 18 Oct '25

18 Oct '25

From: Simon Glass <sjg(a)chromium.org> The current bootctl UI is fairly basic, just supporting a keyboard menu with text. Now that expo supports a mouse, add a more interesting UI, with more graphical elements. Provide a way to switch between this and the simple UI. This series also includes some small test improvements, along with a patch to remove a blob from a bloblist.

[PATCH 00/16] boot: Separate out the boot-menu style
by Simon Glass 14 Oct '25

14 Oct '25

This series refactors the boot menu so that it is possible to create the items and then (later) change the style/position to the simple style. This allows swapping back and forth between a different style and the simple style. It also adjusts how the mouse is set up, so that the initial mouse position is only set up once the video device is known. This allows the position to be centred on the display, a better starting point than the top left. Simon Glass (16): scripts: build-efi: Use the USB mouse video: Report failure to write a frame to a file expo: Check the mouse once the video device is known expo: Avoid setting SCENEOF_SIZE_VALID with calculated size expo: Avoid setting SCENEOF_SIZE_VALID with menu items expo: Allow applying the theme to just the display expo: Clarify that text objects are not string IDs mouse: Place mouse in the middle of the display boot: Split out setting menu properties from menu creation boot: Move prompt strings into bootflow_menu_set_props() boot: Hide unwanted objects and show the menu pointer boot: Add the distro version and box into the menu boot: Move text for desc and label items to after setup boot: Explicitly request that the menu position its objects boot: Explicitly set up the theme with the boot menu boot: Set the item properties with the boot menu boot/bootflow_menu.c | 204 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++--------- boot/expo.c | 32 +++--- boot/scene.c | 19 ++-- boot/scene_menu.c | 13 +-- drivers/input/mouse-uclass.c | 2 + include/bootflow.h | 14 +++ include/expo.h | 23 +++- include/mouse.h | 2 + scripts/build-efi | 2 +- test/dm/video.c | 7 +- 10 files changed, 235 insertions(+), 83 deletions(-) -- 2.43.0 base-commit: 4855727dbde154a25671f61bfec9db4caf0604db branch: proh

[PATCH 00/18] expo: Extend the boot menu
by Simon Glass 10 Oct '25

10 Oct '25

From: Simon Glass <sjg(a)chromium.org> The current boot menu works but it is still fairly basic. This series makes various improvements: - adds buttons for settings, help - adds a way to show other items for each OS (e.g. distro version-name) - adds a second logo - allows a box to be drawn around each item This series also provides a way to dump the expo as a text file, so that it can be examined or compared with another one. This is useful for debugging. A 'cedit dump' command allows dumping the information. A few fixes are included as well: - for mouse operation, avoid dropping click events - for keyboard, fix support for escape sequences Simon Glass (18): test: video: Fix 16bpp BMP pixel format conversion test: Add a way to printf() into a membuf input: Correct handling of mouse clicks expo: Correct key-polling timeout expo: Provide user-friendly output of scene enums expo: Provide a way to dump an expo expo: Provide a command to dump a cedit expo expo: Provide a version of scene_within() with takes an obj expo: Export scene_find_obj_within() and add a test expo: Allow searching click positions from top to bottom expo: Allow searching for any object type by position expo: Support clicking on any type of object expo: Add another logo in the bootmenu expo: Add a way to select settings expo: Add a help button expo: Add a way to display the distro version-name expo: Add a box around each item expo: Add an image that indicates verification MAINTAINERS | 3 + boot/Kconfig | 9 ++ boot/Makefile | 1 + boot/bootflow_internal.h | 24 +++- boot/bootflow_menu.c | 3 + boot/cedit.c | 4 + boot/expo.c | 8 +- boot/expo_dump.c | 271 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ boot/scene.c | 131 +++++++++++++---- boot/scene_internal.h | 30 ++++ boot/scene_menu.c | 3 + cmd/Kconfig | 9 ++ cmd/cedit.c | 38 +++++ doc/usage/cmd/cedit.rst | 141 ++++++++++++++++++ drivers/input/mouse-uclass.c | 7 +- include/bootflow.h | 3 +- include/expo.h | 22 +++ include/membuf.h | 13 ++ lib/membuf.c | 14 ++ test/boot/expo.c | 192 +++++++++++++++++++++++-- test/dm/video.c | 21 ++- test/lib/membuf.c | 40 ++++++ 22 files changed, 932 insertions(+), 55 deletions(-) create mode 100644 boot/expo_dump.c -- 2.43.0 base-commit: cfffa4bf16338ed559487fc52a07296e6e475e20 branch: prog
