patman: Reset the output directory when it is removed

2019-07-29T15:38:06Z

At present outdir remains set ever after the output directory has been removed. Fix this to avoid trying to access it when it is not present. Signed-off-by: Simon Glass

binman: Support replacing data in a cbfs

2019-07-29T15:38:06Z

At present binman cannot replace data within a CBFS since it does not allow rewriting of the files in that CBFS. Implement this by using the new WriteData() method to handle the case. Add a header to compressed data so that the amount of compressed data can be determined without reference to the size of the containing entry. This allows the entry to be larger that the contents, without causing errors in decompression. This is necessary to cope with a compressed device tree being updated in such a way that it shrinks after the entry size is already set (an obscure case). It is not used with CBFS since it has its own metadata for this. Increase the number of passes allowed to resolve the position of entries, to handle this case. Add a test for this new logic.

binman: Add a bit of logging in entries when packing

2019-07-29T15:38:05Z

Use the new logging feature to log information about progress with packing. This is useful to see how binman is figuring things out. Also update elf.py to use the same feature. Signed-off-by: Simon Glass

patman: Add a function to write ifwitool

2019-07-24T19:53:46Z

This tool has quite a few arguments and options, so put the functionality in a function so that we call it from one place and hopefully get it right. Signed-off-by: Simon Glass

patman: Add functions to compress and decompress data

2019-07-24T03:27:57Z

Add utility functions to compress and decompress using lz4 and lzma algorithms. In the latter case these use the legacy lzma support favoured by coreboot's CBFS. No tests are provided as these functions will be tested by the CBFS tests in a separate patch. Signed-off-by: Simon Glass

patman: Add a way to set the search path for tools

2019-07-24T03:27:57Z

Sometimes tools can be located by looking in other locations. Add a way to direct the search. Signed-off-by: Simon Glass

patman: Allow reading files in text mode

2019-07-10T22:52:58Z

While reading files in binary mode is the norm, sometimes we want to use text mode. Add an optional parameter to handle this. Signed-off-by: Simon Glass

dtoc: Use byte type instead of str in fdt

2019-07-10T22:52:58Z

In Python 3 bytes and str are separate types. Use bytes to ensure that the code functions correctly with Python 3. Signed-off-by: Simon Glass

dtoc: Updates BytesToValue() for Python 3

2019-07-10T22:52:58Z

The difference between the bytes and str types in Python 3 requires a number of minor changes to this function. Update it to handle the input data using the 'bytes' type. Create two useful helper functions which can be used by other modules too. Signed-off-by: Simon Glass

patman: Move unicode helpers to tools

2019-07-10T22:52:58Z

Create helper functions in the tools module to deal with the differences between unicode in Python 2 (where we use the 'unicode' type) and Python 3 (where we use the 'str' type). Signed-off-by: Simon Glass
