Our product is used in a safety-critical situation. We want to make sure that the product we released is exactly the one we tested in our labs. Because our product is released in a checkout-build-release process, it is impossible to just give out the binary file we tested.
Maybe there is a workaround to solve this problem.

I found out that even with the same source code, the final u-boot.bin has a different MD5sum each time I build. Is that possible to get an identical u-boot.bin for the same source code, no matter when I build?
No, as the image contains a time stamp that changes each time you build a new image.
i wonder if we should make this a config tweak. some people (not really myself) would like to be able to confirm the same result every time and the timestamp is an acceptable loss ... -mike
