binman: Mark 'align-end' as implemented

2018-06-07T19:25:08Z

The documentation says this is not implemented, but it is. Update the documentation, and clarify its operation. Signed-off-by: Simon Glass

binman: Add support for adding a name prefix to entries

2018-06-07T19:25:08Z

Sometimes we have several sections which repeat the same entries (e.g. for a read-only and read-write version of the same section). It is useful to be able to tell these entries apart by name. Add a new 'name-prefix' property for sections, which causes all entries within that section to have a given name prefix. Signed-off-by: Simon Glass

binman: Add support for outputing a map file

2018-06-07T19:25:08Z

It is useful to be able to see a list of regions in each image produced by binman. Add a -m option to output this information in a '.map' file alongside the image file. Signed-off-by: Simon Glass

binman: Tidy up some docs and comments

2018-06-07T19:25:08Z

Fix a few missing comments and tidy up some existing ones. Signed-off-by: Simon Glass

binman: Add documentation for pos-unset property

2018-06-07T19:25:08Z

This property is not documented. Add a note to the README. Signed-off-by: Simon Glass

binman: Add support for sections

2018-06-07T19:25:08Z

It is useful to be able to split an image into multiple sections, each with its own size and position, for cases where a flash device has read-only and read-write portions. Add support for this. Signed-off-by: Simon Glass

binman: Allow unit addresses for binaries

2018-06-07T19:25:07Z

Allow the same binary to appear multiple times in an image by using the device-tree unit-address feature (u-boot@0, u-boot@1). Signed-off-by: Simon Glass

SPDX: Convert all of our single license tags to Linux Kernel style

2018-05-07T13:34:12Z

When U-Boot started using SPDX tags we were among the early adopters and there weren't a lot of other examples to borrow from. So we picked the area of the file that usually had a full license text and replaced it with an appropriate SPDX-License-Identifier: entry. Since then, the Linux Kernel has adopted SPDX tags and they place it as the very first line in a file (except where shebangs are used, then it's second line) and with slightly different comment styles than us. In part due to community overlap, in part due to better tag visibility and in part for other minor reasons, switch over to that style. This commit changes all instances where we have a single declared license in the tag as both the before and after are identical in tag contents. There's also a few places where I found we did not have a tag and have introduced one. Signed-off-by: Tom Rini

dtoc: Allow DTC environment variable to provide path to dtc

2018-01-16T01:29:21Z

The system device-tree compiler may not be new enough to run the tests we use in U-Boot (e.g. with binman). Allow use of a DTC environment variable to point to the correct dtc. If not defined, the dtc on the default PATH is used. Signed-off-by: Simon Glass

binman: Add documentation for the symbol feature

2017-12-13T02:53:45Z

Add this feature to the README. Signed-off-by: Simon Glass Reviewed-by: Lukasz Majewski
