2020-07-25binman: Allow external binaries to be missingSimon Glass
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 <sjg@chromium.org> Reviewed-by: Bin Meng <bmeng.cn@gmail.com>

2019-07-29binman: Add command-line support for replacing entriesSimon Glass
Add a 'replace' command to binman to permit entries to be replaced, either individually or all at once (using a filter). Signed-off-by: Simon Glass <sjg@chromium.org>
2019-07-24binman: Add an 'extract' commandSimon Glass
It is useful to be able to extract all binaries from the image, or a subset of them. Add a new 'extract' command to handle this. Signed-off-by: Simon Glass <sjg@chromium.org>
2019-07-24binman: Support listing an imageSimon Glass
Add support for listing the entries in an image. This relies on the image having an FDT map. Signed-off-by: Simon Glass <sjg@chromium.org>
2019-07-24binman: Convert to use ArgumentParserSimon Glass
This class is the new way to handle arguments in Python. Convert binman over to use it. At the same time, introduce commands so that we can separate out the different parts of binman functionality. Signed-off-by: Simon Glass <sjg@chromium.org>
2019-07-23binman: Allow preserving test directoriesSimon Glass
Sometimes when debugging tests it is useful to keep the input and output directories so they can be examined later. Add an option for this and update the binman tests to support it. This affects both the test class and the tearDown() function called after each test. Signed-off-by: Simon Glass <sjg@chromium.org>
2019-07-23binman: Tidy up help for --indirSimon Glass
The current help is confusing. Adjust it to indicate what the flag actually does. Signed-off-by: Simon Glass <sjg@chromium.org>
2019-07-23binman: Add a --toolpath option to set the tool search pathSimon Glass
Sometimes tools used by binman may not be in the normal PATH search path, such as when the tool is built by the U-Boot build itself (e.g. mkimage). Provide a way to specify an additional search path for tools. The flag can be used multiple times. Update the help to describe this option. Signed-off-by: Simon Glass <sjg@chromium.org>
2018-10-08binman: Run tests concurrentlySimon Glass
At present the tests run one after the other using a single CPU. This is not very efficient. Bring in the concurrencytest module and run the tests concurrently, using one process for each CPU by default. A -P option allows this to be overridden, which is necessary for code-coverage to function correctly. This requires fixing a few tests which are currently not fully independent. At some point we might consider doing this across all pytests in U-Boot. There is a pytest version that supports specifying the number of processes to use, but it did not work for me.

2018-09-28binman: Allow control of whether a fake DT is usedSimon Glass
We use a fake device tree in tests most of the time since tests don't normally care about the actual data. For example, for U-Boot proper we use U_BOOT_DTB_DATA which is just a four-character string. This makes testing the image output against an expected value very easy. However in some cases, such as when the test wants to check that the DT output containing particular nodes, we do actually need the real DT. Add support for this, along with a command-line option to select 'test mode'. Signed-off-by: Simon Glass <sjg@chromium.org>
2018-09-28binman: Support building a selection of imagesSimon Glass
Sometimes it is useful to build only a subset of the images provided by the binman configuration. Add a -i option for this. It can be given multiple times to build several images. If the option is not given, all images are built. Signed-off-by: Simon Glass <sjg@chromium.org>
2018-08-01binman: Allow creation of entry documentationSimon Glass
Binman supports quite a number of different entries now. The operation of these is not always obvious but at present the source code is the only reference for understanding how an entry works. Add a way to create documentation (from the source code) which can be put in a new 'README.entries' file. Signed-off-by: Simon Glass <sjg@chromium.org>
2018-08-01binman: Add support for passing arguments to entriesSimon Glass
Sometimes it is useful to pass binman the value of an entry property from the command line. For example some entries need access to files and it is not always convenient to put these filenames in the image definition (device tree). Add a -a option which can be used like this: -a<prop>=<value> where <prop> is the property to set <value> is the value to set it to Signed-off-by: Simon Glass <sjg@chromium.org>
2018-08-01binman: Rename 'position' to 'offset'Simon Glass
After some thought, I believe there is an unfortunate naming flaw in binman. Entries have a position and size, but now that we support hierarchical sections it is unclear whether a position should be an absolute position within the image, or a relative position within its parent section. At present 'position' actually means the relative position. This indicates a need for an 'image position' for code that wants to find the location of an entry without having to do calculations back through parents to discover this image position. A better name for the current 'position' or 'pos' is 'offset'. It is not always an absolute position, but it is always an offset from its parent offset. It is unfortunate to rename this concept now, 18 months after binman was introduced. However I believe it is the right thing to do. The impact is mostly limited to binman itself and a few changes to in-tree users to binman: tegra sunxi x86 The change makes old binman definitions (e.g. downstream or out-of-tree) incompatible if they use the 'pos = <...>' property. Later work will adjust binman to generate an error when it is used. Signed-off-by: Simon Glass <sjg@chromium.org>
2018-07-09binman: Add a SetCalculatedProperties() methodSimon Glass
Once binman has packed the image, the position and size of each entry is known. It is then possible for binman to update the device tree with these positions. Since placeholder values have been added, this does not affect the size of the device tree and therefore the packing does not need to be performed again. Add a new SetCalculatedProperties method to handle this. Signed-off-by: Simon Glass <sjg@chromium.org>
2018-06-07binman: Add support for outputing a map fileSimon Glass
It is useful to be able to see a list of regions in each image produced by binman. Add a -m option to output this information in a '.map' file alongside the image file. Signed-off-by: Simon Glass <sjg@chromium.org>
2018-05-07SPDX: Convert all of our single license tags to Linux Kernel styleTom Rini
When U-Boot started using SPDX tags we were among the early adopters and there weren't a lot of other examples to borrow from. So we picked the area of the file that usually had a full license text and replaced it with an appropriate SPDX-License-Identifier: entry. Since then, the Linux Kernel has adopted SPDX tags and they place it as the very first line in a file (except where shebangs are used, then it's second line) and with slightly different comment styles than us. In part due to community overlap, in part due to better tag visibility and in part for other minor reasons, switch over to that style. This commit changes all instances where we have a single declared license in the tag as both the before and after are identical in tag contents. There's also a few places where I found we did not have a tag and have introduced one. Signed-off-by: Tom Rini <trini@konsulko.com>
2016-12-20binman: Introduce binman, a tool for building binary imagesSimon Glass
This adds the basic code for binman, including command parsing, processing of entries and generation of images. So far no entry types are supported. These will be added in future commits as examples of how to add new types. See the README for documentation. Signed-off-by: Simon Glass <sjg@chromium.org> Tested-by: Bin Meng <bmeng.cn@gmail.com>
