binman: add support for creating dummy files for external blobs

2022-01-07T17:10:55+00:00

While converting to binman for an imx8mq board, it has been found that
building in the u-boot CI fails. This is because an imx8mq requires an
external binary (signed_hdmi_imx8m.bin). If this file cannot be found
mkimage fails.
To be able to build this board in the u-boot CI a binman option
(--fake-ext-blobs) is introduced that can be switched on via the u-boot
makefile option BINMAN_FAKE_EXT_BLOBS. With that the needed dummy files are
created.

binman: Support updating the dtb in an ELF file

2021-11-13T15:16:39+00:00

WIth EFI we must embed the devicetree in an ELF image so that it is loaded
as part of the executable file. We want it to include the binman
definition in there also, which in some cases cannot be created until the
ELF (u-boot) is built. Add an option to binman to support writing the
updated dtb to the ELF file u-boot.out

This is useful with the EFI app, which is always packaged as an ELF file.

binman: Support multithreading for building images

2021-07-21T16:27:35+00:00

Some images may take a while to build, e.g. if they are large and use slow
compression. Support compiling sections in parallel to speed things up.

binman: Allow a way to select expanded entries

2021-03-26T04:03:09+00:00

Add a new command-line option to disable expanded entries. This is needed
for most tests, since it is much easier to 'factor out' this function into
a separate test and keep the existing packing tests simple.

Add the option and select it by default from tests.

binman: Give a sensible error if no command is given

2020-10-29T20:42:59+00:00

At present if 'binman' is typed on the command line, a strange error about
a missing argument is displayed. Fix this.

These does not seem to be standard way to add the 'required' argument in
all recent Python versions, so set it manually.

binman: Allow external binaries to be missing

2020-07-25T20:46:57+00:00

Sometimes it is useful to build an image even though external binaries are
not present. This allows the build system to continue to function without
these files, albeit not producing valid images.

U-Boot does with with ATF (ARM Trusted Firmware) today.

Add a new flag to binman to request this behaviour.
