I'm pleased to see this. My only suggestion is to use '/bits/ 64' instead of the macros, for 64-bit values.
When I was playing with it some time ago it didn't work but it works now that's why no issue with it.
One more thing on this one. I pretty much dislike that images are generated to u-boot root folder. Isn't there a way that they will be written to separate folder (deploy for example)?
Or perhaps $(obj) ?
Yes $(obj) is where they end up today. I consider output files from binman to be on the same level as other files created by the build. Then again, it does end up a bit of a mess, when mixed with the output files.
Some cleanup would be good. I remember a lot of discussion about if people should be using u-boot or u-boot.elf. Answer was simple but if output images are in separate folder it would IMHO better to understand.
I am not keen on 'deploy' as it nothing is being deployed - also it sounds like a satellite or military attack.
No problem with different name.
One long-standing issue is that intermediate files are created in the same directory. Perhaps we could put those in a binman-tmp directory? They are necessary when things go wrong, but don't need to be used all the time.
+1
But I think we should try to move also that images which users should be using to separate folder completely. Again it doesn't need to be done by default but a way to configure it would be good.
Perhaps file an issue for this? I haven't got to it yet.
