Hello everybody,
now that the new image format has been merged into mainline, I propose that we make it mandatory for all newly added boards. That means, that each new board that gets added shall at least contain
#define CONFIG_FIT 1
in it's board config file; I recommend to add also
#define CONFIG_FIT_VERBOSE 1 /* enable fit_format_{error,warning}() */
Can we agree on this?
I haven't tried out the CONFIG_FIT stuff yet so some of these concerns might not be real issues: 1. Are their changes to linux kernel build system to create a FIT .uImage ? 2. if "#define CONFIG_FIT 1" can we use an "old" style uImage?
If the answer to 2. is no, I'm concerned about boards that are part of a family (like Freescale reference boards for PPC) and having two different image formats to deal with.
