- The mkimage calculate hashes before that timestamp is added to image.
is it better exchange the order of these operations (before add
timestamp then calculate hashes)?
- Does the new format assure that the complete image (_all_ sections,
images, ramdisks, configurations, blobs) are covered by at least an hash
value? should mkimage add at least a hash value for the root node?


In addition to the previous question:

- I'm interested to calculate and store from U-boot code but the fit_image_set_hashes is compiled only when the USE_HOSTCC symbol is defined. Why? Is there a particular reason? I think that a lot of useful functions (ifdef-ed by USE_HOSTCC) should be available also in u-boot code, anyway the linker will drop the unused functions.


Any comments?

thanks
