binman: Support hashing entries

2018-09-29T17:49:35Z

Sometimesi it us useful to be able to verify the content of entries with a hash. Add an easy way to do this in binman. The hash information can be retrieved from the device tree at run time. Signed-off-by: Simon Glass

binman: Mention section attributes in docs

2018-09-29T17:49:35Z

Images and sections have the same attributes, since an image is mostly just a top-level section. Update the docs to explain this. Signed-off-by: Simon Glass

binman: Support expanding entries

2018-09-29T17:49:35Z

It is useful to have entries which can grow automatically to fill available space. Add support for this. Signed-off-by: Simon Glass

binman: Support compressed entries

2018-09-29T17:49:32Z

Add support for compressing blob entries. This can help reduce image sizes for many types of data. It requires that the firmware be able to decompress the data at run-time. Signed-off-by: Simon Glass

binman: Move 'special properties' docs to README.entries

2018-09-28T17:09:01Z

This information should be in the entry it relates to, not in the main README. Move it. Signed-off-by: Simon Glass

binman: Add a new "skip-at-start" property in Section class

2018-09-27T17:13:43Z

Currently binman calculates '_skip_at_start' based on 'end-at-4gb' property and it is used for x86 images. For PowerPC mpc85xx based CPU, CONFIG_SYS_TEXT_BASE is the entry offset of the first entry. It can be 0xeff40000 or 0xfff40000 for nor flash boot, 0x201000 for sd boot etc, so "_skip_at_start" should be set to CONFIG_SYS_TEXT_BASE. 'end-at-4gb' property is not applicable where CONFIG_SYS_TEXT_BASE + Image size != 4gb. Add new property 'skip-at-start' in Section class so that '_skip_at_start' can be calculated either based on 'end-at-4gb' or based on "skip-at-start". Add a test case to check that 'skip-at-start' and 'end-at-4gb' property can't be used together. Signed-off-by: Jagdish Gediya Reviewed-by: Bin Meng Reviewed-by: Simon Glass Reviewed-by: York Sun

binman: Create README.entries

2018-08-01T22:30:48Z

Create a new README containing documentation for the entry types supported by binman. This provides an easy reference in one place. It is automatically generated from the source-code documentation. Add a reference to this from the binman README. Signed-off-by: Simon Glass

binman: Add support for passing arguments to entries

2018-08-01T22:30:47Z

Sometimes it is useful to pass binman the value of an entry property from the command line. For example some entries need access to files and it is not always convenient to put these filenames in the image definition (device tree). Add a -a option which can be used like this: -a= where is the property to set is the value to set it to Signed-off-by: Simon Glass
