Heiko,
And what are the pros from binman in general? I've read over tools/binman/binman.rst so I'm assuming you mean what is described there as benefits.
How do you get all the details needed for signing the image from binman?
If I make imx8mm_evk_defconfig which produces via binman flash.bin and u-boot.itb I get the following:
$ ./tools/binman/binman ls -i flash.bin binman: Cannot find FDT map in image $ ./tools/binman/binman ls -i u-boot.itb binman: Cannot find FDT map in image
As the message says, you need an 'fdtmap' in the image:
fdtmap { }:
I would very much like to understand how to use binman to get the various offsets needed for signing an IMX image for use with HAB.
You should be able to add signing support to binman for your use case. See for example how vblock.py works.
