binman: Drop CheckEntries()

2020-10-29T20:42:59Z

This method introduces a separation between packing and checking that is different for sections. In order to handle compression properly, we need to be able to deal with a section's size being smaller than the uncompressed size of its contents. It is easier to make this work if everything happens in the Pack() method. The only real user of CheckEntries() is entry_Section and it can call it directly. Drop the call from 'control' and handle it locally. Signed-off-by: Simon Glass

binman: Drop the Entry.CheckSize() method

2020-10-29T20:42:59Z

This is only used by entry_Section and that class already calls it. Avoid calling it twice. Also drop it from the documentation. Signed-off-by: Simon Glass

binman: Avoid reporting image-pos with compression

2020-10-29T20:42:59Z

When a section is compressed, all entries within it are grouped together into a compressed block of data. This obscures the start of each individual child entry. Avoid reporting bogus 'image-pos' properties in this case, since it is not possible to access the entry at the location provided. The entire section must be decompressed first. CBFS does not support compressing whole sections, only individual files, so needs no special handling here. Signed-off-by: Simon Glass

binman: Support help messages for missing blobs

2020-09-22T18:54:13Z

When an external blob is missing it can be quite confusing for the user. Add a way to provide a help message that is shown. Signed-off-by: Simon Glass Signed-off-by: Alper Nebi Yasak

binman: Fix up a few missing comments

2020-09-22T18:50:43Z

Tidy up a few test functions which lack argument comments. Rename one that has the same name as a different test. Also fix up the comment for PrepareImagesAndDtbs(). Signed-off-by: Simon Glass

binman: Use pkg_resources to find resources

2020-09-22T18:50:43Z

At present we look for resources based on the path of the Python module that wants them. Instead we should use Python's pkg_resources feature which is designed for this purpose. Update binman to use this. Signed-off-by: Simon Glass

binman: Correct some import statements

2020-08-22T14:53:38Z

Some of these were not converted when binman moved to use absolute paths. Fix them. Also drop the import of 'test' which is a directory, not a module. Signed-off-by: Simon Glass

binman: Move GetEntryModules() to control

2020-08-22T14:53:38Z

When binman is installed its main program is in a different directory to its modules. This means that __file__ is different and we cannot use it to obtain the path to etype/ from main.py To fix this, move the function to the 'control' module, since it is installed with all the other modules, including the etype/ directory.

binman: Detect when valid images are not produced

2020-07-25T20:46:57Z

When external blobs are missing, show a message indicating that the images are not functional. Signed-off-by: Simon Glass

binman: Allow external binaries to be missing

2020-07-25T20:46:57Z

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. Signed-off-by: Simon Glass Reviewed-by: Bin Meng
