Hello,
just for interests
I just added a testcase to tbot, which checks if U-Boot patch(es) do not change the resulting U-Boot binaries(currently I check u-boot.bin and spl/u-boot-spl.bin ... it should be easy to add more if needed)
see tbot testcase: [1] https://github.com/hsdenx/tbot/commit/bd20fca143e49a1575df5a5532057abbb72341...
For installing tbot please read: https://github.com/hsdenx/tbot/blob/master/doc/README.install (if you only want to use this new testcase, you do not need the steps for adding a virtual lab, nor a connection to a boards console), you can use your PC where you installed tbot (ofcourse this PC must have the ability to compile U-Boot, toolchains for supported archs must be installed, also git, parmiko must be installed))
For using [1] with tbot, you need the config file: https://github.com/hsdenx/tbot/blob/master/config/tbot_uboot_kconfig_check.c... and adapt it to your local settings. Hope the comments are helpful.
Do not hesitate to contact me, if you have problems to get tbot running.
bye, Heiko
Here a log running the testcase [1] (enable tbot to print status info to stdout: https://github.com/hsdenx/tbot/blob/master/config/tbot_uboot_kconfig_check.c... changing this line into "self.debugstatus=True"
also enabled line https://github.com/hsdenx/tbot/blob/master/src/tc/uboot/tc_uboot_check_kconf... to test for each arch only one board):

It seems I have a problem to get sandbox compiling identical binaries, I must check this, also boards, which does not compile cannot checked ... but I think, its ready for usage ...
