It's related to the problem where colibri-imx8 doesn't actually build an image with the default boot target.
I don't recall if there's a good reason for imx8 not setting CONFIG_BUILD_TARGET to something, but that sounds like how to solve this problem. "make all" should work, normally.
Even if it did, the build fails the first time. It just needs to be fixed/
Yes, there's both the problem of CONFIG_BUILD_TARGET not being set and then whatever issues there are with configuring access to the blobs especially when they exist and aren't faked via BINMAN_ALLOW_MISSING. IIRC Toradex does weekly builds of top of tree, via OpenEmbedded / Yocto so there's not some bitrot here to be fixed, just smoothing out integration.
To me, BUILD_TARGET is a pre-Binman construction and we should just use binman to make sure that the default target builds a bootable image.
Well, no. Assuming that doc/board/toradex/colibri-imx8x.rst is correct then CONFIG_BUILD_TARGET should be set to "u-boot-dtb.imx" so that "make" just works like other platforms. If there's some other target actually in use, that should be what's put in CONFIG_BUILD_TARGETS and in turn binman will get invoked as needed.
I suspect the real issue here is that it has not been converted to binman yet.
But adding BUILD_TARGET just causes the build to fail...I already reported that to Francesco.
