Re: [U-Boot] [PATCH v2] tools/mkimage: use lseek rather than fstat for file size for -l option

Dear Peter Korsgaard,

In message 1228304125-6669-2-git-send-email-jacmet@sunsite.dk you wrote:

Use lseek rather than fstat for file size for list mode, so mkimage -l /dev/mtdblockN works (stat returns st_size == 0 for devices).

Notice that you have to use /dev/mtdblockN and not /dev/mtdN, as the latter doesn't support mmap.

As mentioned before, this doesn't work because the length you are checking is not the image length, but the device size.

Best regards,

Wolfgang Denk
