* Package name : qoriq-rcw Version : 1.2.0 Upstream Contact: Vincent Jardin <[email protected]> * URL : https://github.com/vjardin/qoriq-rcw * License : BSD-3-Clause Programming Lang: C Description : compiler, decompiler and checker for NXP QorIQ RCW images qoriq-rcw is the command-line tool for the Reset Configuration Word (RCW) of NXP QorIQ / Layerscape SoCs using PBI format 2 (LS1028A, LS1088A, LS2088A, LX2160A), built on libqoriq-rcw (ITP #1152047). It: - compiles RCW source files into the PBL images flashed on the boot medium - decompiles an image back to source that recompiles to the same bytes - checks an image the way the Service Processor does before running it (--check). An image that the BootROM rejects can leave a board silent after a reboot, it catches it before it is flashed - Why is it useful? No package in Debian to compile, to decompile or checks RCW images. qoriq-rcw does it from a Debian system, including on the boards themselves (arm64), where the dump modes show what is actually running and flashed. - Packaging: two binary packages. (1) qoriq-rcw, the tool and its man page. (2) qoriq-rcw-data (Architecture: all), the .rcwi bitfield definitions of the four SoC families, vendored unmodified from https://github.com/nxp-qoriq/rcw (Freescale/NXP, BSD-3-Clause), plus symbolic register names for the LX2160A The unit tests run during the build: an autopkgtest compiles an LX2160A RCW with flow-control PBI against the installed .rcwi, checks it, decompiles it, recompiles it and compares back the images. - Maintenance: I am the upstream author and I will maintain the package myself at https://salsa.debian.org/vjardin/qoriq-rcw, of course co-maintainers are welcomed. I am neither a Debian Developer nor a Debian Maintainer, so I am looking for a sponsor, ideally the same one for both packages. I am not subscribed to debian-devel, please keep Cc me. Thank you, Vincent
