Hi Petr,
currently its not possible to distinguish between normal builds and builds performed by the build bots/CI, thus leading to a workarounds like for example in commit 4c78028737c3 ("mksunxi_fit_atf.sh: Allow for this to complete when bl31.bin is missing"), where producing unusable binaries is preferred in favor of a green automatic builds.
So lets try to fix this properly, add BUILDBOT config options which could be set on the build bots/CI and the codebase can use this new config option to workaround the issues in more clear manner.
While at it, replace .its generator script with more generic Dust template based approach, which should allow for more code sharing between boards and thus reduce code duplication.
I'm not sure what Dust is but a the original script for making the .itb files was based on python with pyelftools dep and some we're happy with the added python deps it so it was rewritten into the latest shell script. I'm not sure from looking what extra deps the dust templating adds vs other options but it's worth the consideration.
Peter
Cheers,
Petr
