Hi Kevar,

At present rockchip 64-bit boards make use of a FIT-generator script written in Python. The script supports splitting an ELF file into several 'loadable' nodes in the FIT. Binman does not current support this feature.
This series adds binman support for ELF splitting. This works by adding a new 'fit,operation' property to the FIT subnodes, allowing this new way of generating nodes.
Some other fixes and improvements are needed along the way.
A new, common binman description is added for 64-bit boards which includes the required u-boot.itb file.
The existing script is removed, so that only a few zynq boards are now using a SPL_FIT_GENERATOR script:
avnet_ultrazedev_cc_v1_0_ultrazedev_som_v1_0 xilinx_zynqmp_virtMigration of those is hopefully in progress.
Note however that tools/k3_fit_atf.sh remains, used by a few boards that enable CONFIG_TI_SECURE_DEVICE so this series is copied there too:
am335x_hs_evm am335x_hs_evm_uart am43xx_hs_evm am57xx_hs_evm am57xx_hs_evm_usb am65x_hs_evm_a53 am65x_hs_evm_r5 dra7xx_hs_evm dra7xx_hs_evm_usb j721e_hs_evm_a72 j721e_hs_evm_r5 k2e_hs_evm k2g_hs_evm k2hk_hs_evm k2l_hs_evmIvan Mikhaylov has sent a patch to help with these, but I need to take a look at the testing side. In any case they should really be using binman for the image generation.
Changes in v4:
- Add new patch to disable USE_SPL_FIT_GENERATOR by default
Changes in v3:
- Add an offset to the FIT description
- Add support for writing sections in binman
- Rebase to master
Changes in v2:
- Rename op-tee to tee-os
- Drop use of .itb2
- Drop patches previously applied
- Add various suggestions from Alper Nebi Yasak
- Add patches to refactor binman's FIT support
Simon Glass (7): binman: Allow writing section contents to a file rockchip: evb-rk3288: Drop raw-image support rockchip: Include binman script in 64-bit boards rockchip: Support building the all output files in binman rockchip: Convert all boards to use binman rockchip: Drop the FIT generator script treewide: Disable USE_SPL_FIT_GENERATOR by default
Can this one please be applied in time for the release?
