So, like, the other day Jerry Van Baren mumbled:

Implement the -R <number> option to add memory reserve slots. Add a -S <size> option makes the blob at least this number of bytes.

Applied.

Thanks, jdl

Thanks, Jon. That makes the new u-boot "fdt" command tremendously easier to use because you can now allocate extra space in the blob at compile time rather than having to reallocate space using the u-boot "fdt" command.

Note to u-boot "fdt" command users: * Pull the latest dtc source from Jon's repo http://www.jdl.com/git_repos/ * When you compile your dts, use the new -S parameter to create some extra space (e.g. -S 0x2000). If you don't want to guess how big your current blob is, run a test compile with -S 1 - you will get a warning (don't use -q ;-) that will tell you how big your blob is. Re-run with a reasonable -S. * The -R to make extra mem reserve slots may be useful too. * Make sure you *don't* specify version 16 (some legacy recipes do that). The latest version is 17 and dtc now Does The Right Thing without needing the version specified. Do *not* use -V.
