Switch to use binman to pack images
Please don't forget S-o-B, checkpatch does complain about it. ;)
will do it on next submission
Run into this issue on the first try to get binman working:
make[1]: Nothing to be done for 'SPL'. BINMAN flash.bin MKIMAGE flash.bin Error: spl/u-boot-spl.cfgout[16] - Invalid command (LOADER) arch/arm/mach-imx/Makefile:190: recipe for target 'flash.bin' failed make[1]: *** [flash.bin] Error 1 make[1]: *** Deleting file 'flash.bin' Makefile:1519: recipe for target 'flash.bin' failed make: *** [flash.bin] Error 2
Some clue howto fix that?
This might be due to the fact that you're using the same u-boot-nodtb.bin binary twice: once in binman section, and once in ITB. You can try to rename the binman entry to a different name, this might do the trick. See [1] for sample of imx8mq_evk conversion.
ok I think I fixed that. I dropped additionally the following statements:
make u-boot.bin make flash.bin
just make is enough here or?
But still get this warning even if CONFIG_SPL_FIT_GENERATOR is disabled.
make imx8qm_rom7720_a1_4G_defconfig && make # # configuration written to .config # scripts/kconfig/conf --syncconfig Kconfig CFG u-boot.cfg GEN include/autoconf.mk GEN include/autoconf.mk.dep CFG spl/u-boot.cfg GEN spl/include/autoconf.mk ===================== WARNING ====================== This board uses CONFIG_SPL_FIT_GENERATOR. Please migrate to binman instead, to avoid the proliferation of arch-specific scripts with no tests. ====================================================
Is there any documentation available for this board that needs adaptions with new build instructions? I was not able to locate any doc for this board at all...
You find the doc here:
doc/board/advantech/imx8qm-rom7720-a1.rst
What I see is missing in this section is SECO and SCFW binaries.
Can i.MX8QM boot without those? Otherwise generated image will be unusable.
you are right. This is still missing. Can you point me to a example with SECO and SCFW?
This binman configuration suggests that there are 2 binaries that should be populated onto the bootable media: flash.bin and u-boot.itb. Can you please convert them to use a single binary? Sample code for this is also in [1].

thx for your suggestions
