The founder and owner, Wolfgang Denk, sadly passed away in 2022. https://lists.denx.de/pipermail/u-boot/2022-October/497955.h...
Wolfgang was a great man. Beside of U-Boot his company was also deeply involved in the Linux real-time extension Xenomai: https://lore.kernel.org/xenomai/87v8oa60bx.fsf@xenomai.org/
Doesn't most of the embedded Linux world run on u-boot? whats going to happen to that market now?
Seems that it will be maintained by those using it (eg: companies and hobbyists alike)
U-boot will not die from this
NABLA is one typo away from some unsavory people.
For those missing the reference, NAMBLA is the "man/boy love association" (as in pedophiles).
It's also the name of a mathematical vector derivative operator (∇).
I mean, North American Marlon Brando Look-Alikes are not that bad.
So long and denx for all the fish!
And for the (yellow) submarines!
U-Boot is pretty cool, I like how scriptable it is.
