Dear Andrew Dyer,
In message AANLkTik10yZKNgvOc3BOSA=TZbNOF1Ck2BWy_Nh5ouzj@mail.gmail.com you wrote:
The x-loader 1st stage bootloader for OMAP includes a tool to generate images to allow booting at least OMAP 35xx parts from MMC/SD and NAND memories.
Right, and it makes absolutly no sense to me to have this as a separate tool. The NAND boot code would map nicely into the nand_spl framework, and the same could/should be done for the MMC boot part.
signGP doesn't have a lot of documentation in it for what all the magic values mean. You can use section 25.4.8 in the OMAP tech ref. manual to decrypt the structures.
And again I see nothing in it that could not be done in mkimage - eventually with less code and effort.
Best regards,
Wolfgang Denk
