I guess the short list of affected candidates when mkimage_fit_atf.sh FIT generator gets deleted then would be: configs/cgtqmx8_defconfig:CONFIG_SPL_FIT_GENERATOR="arch/arm/mach-imx/mkimage_fit_atf.sh" configs/imx8mm-icore-mx8mm-ctouch2_defconfig:CONFIG_SPL_FIT_GENERATOR="arch/arm/mach-imx/mkimage_fit_atf.sh" configs/imx8mm-icore-mx8mm-edimm2.2_defconfig:CONFIG_SPL_FIT_GENERATOR="arch/arm/mach-imx/mkimage_fit_atf.sh" configs/imx8mm_beacon_defconfig:CONFIG_SPL_FIT_GENERATOR="arch/arm/mach-imx/mkimage_fit_atf.sh" configs/imx8mm_venice_defconfig:CONFIG_SPL_FIT_GENERATOR="arch/arm/mach-imx/mkimage_fit_atf.sh" configs/imx8mn_beacon_2g_defconfig:CONFIG_SPL_FIT_GENERATOR="arch/arm/mach-imx/mkimage_fit_atf.sh" configs/imx8mn_beacon_defconfig:CONFIG_SPL_FIT_GENERATOR="arch/arm/mach-imx/mkimage_fit_atf.sh" configs/imx8qm_rom7720_a1_4G_defconfig:CONFIG_SPL_FIT_GENERATOR="arch/arm/mach-imx/mkimage_fit_atf.sh" configs/phycore-imx8mm_defconfig:CONFIG_SPL_FIT_GENERATOR="arch/arm/mach-imx/mkimage_fit_atf.sh" Should I send out an RFC to have the FIT generator script removed for 'mach-imx'?

Totally agree, keeping the broken implementation is not a nice thing as people unaware of this might base their work on it and wonder why it does not build on the first place... Actually, I wanted to propose to remove this script from the tree and let derivatives that rely on it to fail to being forcibly converted to binman. But I was humble enough to do it through... There are still those boards that use FIT generator script: configs/cgtqmx8_defconfig:CONFIG_SPL_FIT_GENERATOR="arch/arm/mach-imx/mkimage_fit_atf.sh" configs/imx8mm-icore-mx8mm-ctouch2_defconfig:CONFIG_SPL_FIT_GENERATOR="arch/arm/mach-imx/mkimage_fit_atf.sh" configs/imx8mm-icore-mx8mm-edimm2.2_defconfig:CONFIG_SPL_FIT_GENERATOR="arch/arm/mach-imx/mkimage_fit_atf.sh" configs/imx8mm_beacon_defconfig:CONFIG_SPL_FIT_GENERATOR="arch/arm/mach-imx/mkimage_fit_atf.sh" configs/imx8mm_venice_defconfig:CONFIG_SPL_FIT_GENERATOR="arch/arm/mach-imx/mkimage_fit_atf.sh" configs/imx8mn_beacon_2g_defconfig:CONFIG_SPL_FIT_GENERATOR="arch/arm/mach-imx/mkimage_fit_atf.sh" configs/imx8mn_beacon_defconfig:CONFIG_SPL_FIT_GENERATOR="arch/arm/mach-imx/mkimage_fit_atf.sh" configs/imx8mq_evk_defconfig:CONFIG_SPL_FIT_GENERATOR="arch/arm/mach-imx/mkimage_fit_atf.sh" configs/imx8mq_phanbell_defconfig:CONFIG_SPL_FIT_GENERATOR="arch/arm/mach-imx/mkimage_fit_atf.sh" configs/imx8qm_rom7720_a1_4G_defconfig:CONFIG_SPL_FIT_GENERATOR="arch/arm/mach-imx/mkimage_fit_atf.sh" configs/phycore-imx8mm_defconfig:CONFIG_SPL_FIT_GENERATOR="arch/arm/mach-imx/mkimage_fit_atf.sh" configs/pico-imx8mq_defconfig:CONFIG_SPL_FIT_GENERATOR="arch/arm/mach-imx/mkimage_fit_atf.sh" configs/verdin-imx8mm_defconfig:CONFIG_SPL_FIT_GENERATOR="arch/arm/mach-imx/mkimage_fit_atf.sh" Verdin gets converted with your other patch, while for all the others I'm not sure what the status is. There is however one board which has been introduced quite recent (Cc'ing Oliver here) and didn't went for binman implementation from the start. This is a clear indication that people are still relying on old FIT generator, even

Well, those two do actually not rule each other out. Remember, later in this patch set I am migrating to using binman which I instruct to generate a monolithic "flash.bin" again. > I guess if this change is really needed due to the fact that the migration of > some boards is really difficult > - the original patch can be taken. What I found extremely problematic is, as mentioned initially, stuff is currently broken which makes e.g. bisecting other issues extremely cumbersome. But in theory, as I propose now to migrate anyway, we could just not care and leave it broken for anybody else.

Yes, of course, it is the goal to migrate. I just don't get how in IT new stuff gets introduced all the time with leaving past things broken.

This change has been already proposed in [1], but the discussion went into the direction of monolithic "flash.bin" rather than a migration to use binman. I guess if this change is really needed due to the fact that the migration of some boards is really difficult - the original patch can be taken. However, I've commented out in that thread that there is a warning regarding the usage of scripts and migration notice, so maybe it does make sense to spend extra effort to migrate away from this script at all? > > Fixes: commit cb9faa6f98ae > ("tools: Use a single target-independent config to enable OpenSSL") > Signed-off-by: Marcel Ziswiler > --- > > arch/arm/mach-imx/mkimage_fit_atf.sh | 26 +- > 1 file changed, 13 insertions(+), 13 deletions(-) > > diff --git a/arch/arm/mach-imx/mkimage_fit_atf.sh b/arch/arm/mach- > imx/mkimage_fit_atf.sh > index 2a17968794c..2d6c46633c7 100755 > --- a/arch/arm/mach-imx/mkimage_fit_atf.sh > +++ b/arch/arm/mach-imx/mkimage_fit_atf.sh > @@ -53,7 +53,7 @@ cat << __HEADER_EOF > description = "Configuration to load ATF before U-Boot"; > > images { > - uboot@1 { > + uboot_1 { > description = "U-Boot (64-bit)"; > os = "u-boot"; > data = /incbin/("$BL33"); @@ -68,7 +68,7 @@ cnt=1 > for dtname in $* > do > cat << __FDT_IMAGE_EOF > - fdt@$cnt { > + fdt_$cnt { > description = "$(basename $dtname .dtb)"; > data = /incbin/("$dtname"); > type = "flat_dt"; @@ -79,7 +79,7 @@ cnt=$((cnt+1)) > done > > cat << __HEADER_EOF > - atf@1 { > + atf_1 { > description = "ARM Trusted Firmware"; > os = "arm-trusted-firmware"; > data = /incbin/("$BL31"); @@ -93,7 +93,7 @@ > __HEADER_EOF > > if [ -f $BL32 ]; then > cat << __HEADER_EOF > - tee@1 { > + tee_1 { > description = "TEE firmware"; > data = /incbin/("$BL32"); > type = "firmware"; @@ -108,7 +108,7 @@ fi cat << > __CONF_HEADER_EOF > }; > configurations { > - default = "config@1"; > + default = "config_1"; > > __CONF_HEADER_EOF > > @@ -117,20 +117,20 @@ for dtname in $* > do > if [ -f $BL32 ]; then > cat << __CONF_SECTION_EOF > - config@$cnt { > + config_$cnt { > description = "$(basename $dtname .dtb)"; > - firmware = "uboot@1"; > - loadables = "atf@1", "tee@1"; > - fdt = "fdt@$cnt"; > + firmware = "uboot_1"; > + loadables = "atf_1", "tee_1"; > + fdt = "fdt_$cnt"; > }; > __CONF_SECTION_EOF > else > cat << __CONF_SECTION1_EOF > - config@$cnt { > + config_$cnt { > description = "$(basename $dtname .dtb)"; > - firmware = "uboot@1"; > - loadables = "atf@1"; > - fdt = "fdt@$cnt"; > + firmware = "uboot_1"; > + loadables = "atf_1"; > + fdt = "fdt_$cnt"; > }; > __CONF_SECTION1_EOF > fi > -- > 2.26.2 Link: [1]: https://lore.kernel.org/u-boot/20210505120053.9466-1-oliver.gra...@kococonnector.com/ Regards, Andrey
