Hi,
This patch series consists of final fixes and cleanups of the new uImage work:
- fix style issue in previously posted patch
- update to doc/uImage.FIT/
- fixes to autoscr and mxtract commands
- preparation for merge with the master
- disable debugging output
- disable new format support by default
- example of enabling new format support for a board (pcs440ep)
The patchset is available on the new-image branch of the u-boot-testing
repository, which now contains complete new uImage support (including MD5).
The new-image branch will soon be merged to the mainline U-Boot, and I'd like
to again encourage people to help with testing. To repeat: reports on test
results of the following areas not tested due to hardware unavailability will
be greatly appreciated:
- boards other that ppc
- booting from dataflash
- U-Boot commands:
- diskboot
- docboot
- fdcboot
- fpga
- nboot
- scsiboot
- usbboot
Note that new format is not enabled by default -- to try it out, you must
define the following in the board config file:
#define CONFIG_FIT 1
#define CONFIG_OF_LIBFDT 1
and optionally:
#define CONFIG_FIT_VERBOSE 1
Compiling support for the new image format increases the size of U-Boot, so
depending on your Flash sector layout, adjustments to CFG_MONITOR_LEN might be
necessary.
Finally, reading doc/uImage.FIT/howto.txt should be sufficient to get you
started with the new format.
Comments and questions are welcome.
Regards,
Bartlomiej
