2025-12-04T19:45:10+00:00

binman: module 'importlib.resources' has no attribute 'files'

the imx8image_copy_image() function, this patch introduces a new entry
type nxp-imx9image. This entry generates a plain text data file
containing the relevant commands, enabling flexible configuration during

binman: bintool: run 'apt-get update -y' on first invocation of apt_install()

2025-07-29T23:00:07+00:00

'apt-get update -y' may be required to make sure that the list of
packages is up-to-date and that the subsequent 'apt-get install'
operations can find the requested packages.

binman: bintool: use apt-get instead of apt

2025-07-29T23:00:07+00:00

The 'apt' command is not meant to be used in scripts or tools. Please
see the man page [1] for details. Therefore, use 'apt-get' instead.
This avoids the following warning:

WARNING: apt does not have a stable CLI interface. Use with caution in scripts.

binman: Add renesas_rcar4_sa0 etype

2025-07-10T17:26:56+00:00

Add new etype which generates the Renesas R-Car Gen4 SA0 header.
This header is placed at the beginning of SPI NOR and describes
where should data from SPI NOR offset 0x40000 be loaded to, and
how much data should be loaded there. In case of U-Boot, this is
used to load SPL and possibly other payload(s) into RT-VRAM.
