2018-09-29binman: Support ELF files for U-Boot and SPLSimon Glass
For sandbox we want to put ELF files in the image since that is what we need to execute. Add support for this. Signed-off-by: Simon Glass <sjg@chromium.org>
2018-09-29binman: Support x86 microcode in TPLSimon Glass
When TPL is used on x86 we may want to program the microcode (at least for the first CPU) early in boot. Add support for this by refactoring the existing code to be more generic. Signed-off-by: Simon Glass <sjg@chromium.org>
2018-09-29binman: Support adding filesSimon Glass
In some cases it is useful to add a group of files to the image and be able to access them at run-time. Of course it is possible to generate the binman config file with a set of blobs each with a filename. But for convenience, add an entry type which can do this. Add required support (for adding nodes and string properties) into the state module. Signed-off-by: Simon Glass <sjg@chromium.org>
2018-09-29binman: Support compressed entriesSimon Glass
Add support for compressing blob entries. This can help reduce image sizes for many types of data. It requires that the firmware be able to decompress the data at run-time. Signed-off-by: Simon Glass <sjg@chromium.org>
2018-09-28binman: Support updating all device tree filesSimon Glass
Binman currently supports updating the main device tree with things like the position of each entry. Extend this support to SPL and TPL as well, since they may need (a subset of) this information. Also adjust DTB output files to have a .out extension since this seems clearer than having a .dtb extension with 'out' in the name somwhere. Also add a few missing comments and update the DT setup code to use ReadFile and WriteFile(). Signed-off-by: Simon Glass <sjg@chromium.org>
2018-09-28binman: Tidy up the vblock entrySimon Glass
At present if there are two vblock entries an image their contents are written to the same file in the output directory. This prevents checking the contents of each separately. Fix this by adding part of the entry path to the filename, and add some missing comments. Signed-off-by: Simon Glass <sjg@chromium.org>
2018-09-28binman: Add x86 support for starting TPLSimon Glass
Sometimes we want to include TPL for x86 platforms, such as when we want to select between different SPL images (e.g. for Chrome OS verified boot). Add support for this. Signed-off-by: Simon Glass <sjg@chromium.org>
2018-09-28binman: Move 'special properties' docs to README.entriesSimon Glass
This information should be in the entry it relates to, not in the main README. Move it. Signed-off-by: Simon Glass <sjg@chromium.org>
2018-09-27binman: Add support for PowerPC mpc85xx 'bootpg + resetvec' entryJagdish Gediya
This entry contains the PowerPC mpc85xx boot page and resetvec sections. Signed-off-by: Jagdish Gediya <jagdish.gediya@nxp.com> Reviewed-by: Simon Glass <sjg@chromium.org> Reviewed-by: Bin Meng <bmeng.cn@gmail.com> Reviewed-by: York Sun <york.sun@nxp.com>
2018-08-01binman: Add support for adding TPL binariesSimon Glass
Add support for U-Boot's TPL and TPL device tree. Also fix a few comments in the other device-tree entries. Signed-off-by: Simon Glass <sjg@chromium.org>
2018-08-01binman: Add an entry for a Chromium vblockSimon Glass
This adds support for a Chromium verified boot block, used to sign a read-write section of the image. Signed-off-by: Simon Glass <sjg@chromium.org>
2018-08-01binman: Add support for Chromium GBBSimon Glass
This entry contains a Google Binary Block, used to store keys and bitmaps in a Chromium image. Signed-off-by: Simon Glass <sjg@chromium.org>
2018-08-01binman: Add an entry filled with a repeating byteSimon Glass
It is sometimes useful to have an area of the image which is all zeroes, or all 0xff. This can often be achieved by padding the size of an an existing entry and setting the pad byte for an entry or image. But it is useful to have an explicit means of adding blocks of repeating data to the image. Add a 'fill' entry type to handle this. Signed-off-by: Simon Glass <sjg@chromium.org>
2018-08-01binman: Add support for a cros_ec imageSimon Glass
Add an entry type which can hold a Chrome OS EC. To make this work a new entry type is created, which supports getting a blob filename from the command line. Signed-off-by: Simon Glass <sjg@chromium.org>
2018-08-01binman: Add support for flashrom FMAPSimon Glass
Add an entry which can hold an FMAP region as used by flashrom, an open-source flashing tool used on Linux x86 machines. This provides a simplified non-hierarchical view of the entries in the image and has a signature at the start to allow flashrom to find it in the image. Signed-off-by: Simon Glass <sjg@chromium.org>
2018-08-01binman: Create README.entriesSimon Glass
Create a new README containing documentation for the entry types supported by binman. This provides an easy reference in one place. It is automatically generated from the source-code documentation. Add a reference to this from the binman README. Signed-off-by: Simon Glass <sjg@chromium.org>
