patman: Move to absolute imports

2020-04-26T20:25:21Z

At present patman sets the python path on startup so that it can access the libraries it needs. If we convert to use absolute imports this is not necessary. Move patman to use absolute imports. This requires changes in tools which use the patman libraries (which is most of them). Signed-off-by: Simon Glass

binman: Move to absolute imports

2020-04-26T20:25:21Z

At present binman sets the python path on startup so that it can access the libraries it needs. If we convert to use absolute imports this is not necessary. Move binman to use absolute imports. This enables removable of the path adjusting in Entry also. Signed-off-by: Simon Glass

patman: Drop references to future

We don't need these now that the tools using Python 3. Drop them. Signed-off-by: Simon Glass

patman: Adjust 'command' to return strings instead of bytes

2019-11-05T01:15:32Z

At present all the 'command' methods return bytes. Most of the time we actually want strings, so change this. We still need to keep the internal representation as bytes since otherwise unicode strings might break over a read() boundary (e.g. 4KB), causing errors. But we can convert the end result to strings. Add a 'binary' parameter to cover the few cases where bytes are needed. Signed-off-by: Simon Glass

binman: Add a prefix before CBFS hex offsets

2019-07-29T15:38:06Z

Add a 0x prefix to these errors to avoid confusion. Signed-off-by: Simon Glass

binman: Add support for fixed-offset files in CBFS

2019-07-24T19:53:46Z

A feature of CBFS is that it allows files to be positioned at particular offset (as with binman in general). This is useful to support execute-in-place (XIP) code, since this may not be relocatable. Add a new cbfs-offset property to control this. Signed-off-by: Simon Glass

binman: Pad empty areas of the CBFS with files

2019-07-24T19:53:46Z

When there is lots of open space in a CBFS it is normally padded with 'empty' files so that sequentially scanning the CBFS can skip from one to the next without a break. Add support for this. Signed-off-by: Simon Glass

binman: Add a utility library for coreboot CBFS

2019-07-24T19:53:46Z

Coreboot uses a simple flash-based filesystem called Coreboot Filesystem (CBFS) to organise files used during boot. This allows files to be named and their position in the flash to be set. It has special features for dealing with x86 devices which typically memory-map their SPI flash to the top of 32-bit address space and need a 'boot block' ending there. Create a library to help create and read CBFS files. This includes a writer class, a reader class and associated other helpers. Only a subset of features are currently supported.
