There is no need to set the ARCH variable when building U-Boot. In fact, the ARCH name in U-Boot is 'arm'. Signed-off-by: Baruch Siach baruch@tkos.co.il
Applied to u-boot-imx, master, thanks !
Thanks.
What about patch #1 in this series? It fixes build failure when /bin/sh is not bash.

I suffer from the prejudice that a single "=" is always bad in a comparison.....I am surely influenced from bugs in C/C++ due to a missing "=" in my experience as developer.
I searched for such as comparison in other parts of build to justify this patch : I have just found it in "test/fs" (ok, this is not really part of build) and in ./lib/lzma/import_lzmasdk.sh. I fully agree that this could be just a problem of mine, and I confess I was already merged your patch and then removed again..
Apart of this, it looks like that a single "=" was already avoided in U-Boot scripts like the pest. Apart of the single entry I found above, it was avoided..
What about to substitute "=" with an explicit "-eq" ? Like :
[ $f -eq "spl/u-boot-spl-ddr.bin" ]
Best regards, Stefano

The '-eq' operator only accept integers:
$ [ f -eq "spl/u-boot-spl-ddr.bin" ] bash: test: f: integer expression expected
The alternative is to set the script shebang to /bin/bash. I don't like this solution. What do you think?

Is not possible to change the behavior of the script filtering the $blobs variable before evaluating ? The check is just for skipping these two files.
Something like :
blobs=`awk '/^SIGNED_HDMI/ {print $2} /^LOADER/ {print $2} /^SECOND_LOADER/ {print $2} /^DDR_FW/ {print $2}' $file` | grep -v ""spl/u-boot-spl-ddr.bin" | ......
It look to me better to put in $blobs just the values that must be evaluated instead of checking them later. $blobs is not evaluated anymore.
