I just got to this conversion and I am curious how that transition should look like. I found how FIT image is created which is fine but I didn't find any reference on how to generate images based on CONFIG_OF_LIST. If you look at arch/arm/mach-zynqmp/mkimage_fit_atf.sh you will see that I loop over this entry and create multiple DT nodes and the same amount of configurations to cover it. Is this supported by binman? If yes, what's the syntax for it?
The easiest way is probably to create a new entry type, like zynq-fit. Then you can generate the DT using the sequence writer functions. See _ReadSubNodes() in fit.py for an example.
You can perhaps have a template subnode and use that in a for loop to generate the nodes.
I tried several configurations and we can use that for generating qspi images and also images with different configurations to have them ready but first I need to be able to handle the case above.
I was thinking of converting sunxi which has the same need, but it sounds like you are on the case. Let me know if you need help.
Nope. I just saw that message and started to play with it to find out what needs to be done and how this fits to bigger picture. If this doesn't work directly then the work needs to be planned which will take time especially when this utility is new for us and we could have issues with writing code in python. Would be good if you can do the first shot because you know this utility and I am more than happy to test it, try and adopt if needed for our case.
Sunxi is very similar case as is zynqmp. Difference is they hardcode default configuration to config_1. ZynqMP is setting up default based on default DT configured at that time.
In connection to binman I see that there would be a need to generate images with ATF and without ATF in configuration node and with different default configuration. There could be also a need to add additional loadable entry such as bitstreams.
Back to zynq-fit new entry type. I don't think it should be zynq/zynqmp type because as was state in commit message u-boot.itb generation is very similar for all these boards that's why name for this new entry should be generic.
I sent an initial series to add this to binman. I've since found a few problems so will send a v2 at some point. You can try it out at u-boot-dm/binman-working
I looked at this branch and add my changes on the top.
The first thing what I see is that I miss fit,fdt-list = "of-list"; in sunxi dt file. I had to add it to work for me.
Ah yes, I decided to add this at the last minute so it is not relying on a convention.
With BINMAN_FDT enabled I am getting error that there is no valid "binman node" in DT. I didn't study that code yet but that's the point of keeping this DT node out there?
Is this in SPL? Perhaps something is filtering out the node.
Nope in full U-Boot but in SPL flow. SPL->ATF->FULL U-Boot.
This is my binman configuration.

Anyway compare to current script default option is hardcoded to config-1.
Current arch/arm/mach-zynqmp/mkimage_fit_atf.sh is also setting up default option based on selected default DT (I can fix this by implementing board_fit_config_name_match() but IIRC it is looping over all configurations and slowing down boot).
Is this using an environment variable to select the default? Would it be OK to put this in the DT for each individual board?
I have added this code to board_fit_config_name_match() to select proper configuration from SPL
+ if (!strcmp(name, DEVICE_TREE)) + return 0;
DEVICE_TREE is setup in generated/dt.h.
I am not quite sure what you mean by put this to each individual board. Like a property for SPL which DT should be select?
Thanks, Michal
