binman: Support updating the device tree with calc'd info

2018-07-09T15:11:00Z

It is useful to write the position and size of each entry back to the device tree so that U-Boot can access this at runtime. Add a feature to support this, along with associated tests. Signed-off-by: Simon Glass

binman: Add a SetCalculatedProperties() method

2018-07-09T15:11:00Z

Once binman has packed the image, the position and size of each entry is known. It is then possible for binman to update the device tree with these positions. Since placeholder values have been added, this does not affect the size of the device tree and therefore the packing does not need to be performed again. Add a new SetCalculatedProperties method to handle this. Signed-off-by: Simon Glass

binman: Add a ProcessFdt() method

2018-07-09T15:11:00Z

Some entry types modify the device tree, e.g. to remove microcode or add a property. So far this just modifies their local copy and does not affect a 'shared' device tree. Rather than doing this modification in the ObtainContents() method, and a new ProcessFdt() method which is specifically designed to modify this shared device tree. Move the existing device-tree code over to use this method, reducing ObtainContents() to the goal of just obtaining the contents without any processing, even for device tree.

binman: Complete documentation of stages

2018-07-09T15:11:00Z

At present one of the stages is badly numbered and not described. Fix this. Signed-off-by: Simon Glass

binman: Switch to 'python-coverage'

2018-07-09T15:11:00Z

The most portable way to get access to coverage is to invoke it as 'python-coverage'. Cc: Simon Glass Signed-off-by: Tom Rini Signed-off-by: Simon Glass

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
