[U-Boot] [PATCH] common: image: Allow mkimage to build a uImage for extensa

From: Fabio Estevam fabio.estevam@freescale.com
Currently we get the following failure when trying to build a uImage for extensa:
$ ./tools/mkimage -A xtensa
Invalid CPU Type - valid names are: alpha, arm, x86, ia64, m68k, microblaze, mips, mips64, nios2, powerpc, ppc, s390, sh, sparc, sparc64, blackfin, avr32, nds32, or1k, sandbox, arm64
Add an entry for extensa so that a uImage can be built.

Hi Fabio,
Thanks for the patch, but the name is actually 'xtensa' (without the 'e'). Would be great if you could change that.
Thanks, -Chris

Dear Fabio Estevam,

- { IH_ARCH_EXTENSA, "extensa", "EXTENSA", },
Is this "xtensa" or "extensa"?
And which actual architecture would that be? I cannot find any architecture support for xtensa in U-Boot mainline, so why should we add image support for it?
If you plan to add support for this architecture, then please submit this patch as part of the series that adds such architecture support.
Best regards,
Wolfgang Denk

It is xtensa, sorry.

Ok, understood.
Looks like the quick fix is for Michael/Geert do not build uImage for xtensa on their automated build environments.

What would you do with an uImage file when there is no U-Boot to load it?

Michael's build system builds uImage for xtensa: http://kisskb.ellerman.id.au/kisskb/buildresult/10665903/
,so it makes more sense simply not to build uImage for such architecture.

It just runs "make".
The decision about building a uImage must be in the .config somewhere.
This failure is for allnoconfig, so presumably there is something like a CONFIG_DONT_BUILD_UIMAGE which is getting set to n by allnoconfig. If you can tell me what that option is I can force it back on (I think).
cheers

It seems that xtensa uses an out of tree U-boot port then.
Chris mentioned that he plans to upstream xtensa u-boot support.
arch/xtensa/boot/boot-uboot/Makefile does force the uImage to be generated.

Hi,
I have a port for the Xtensa architecture ready, and it would be great if you could include it in the mainline tree. I still have to finish another project, but could start sending patches for RFC to this mailing list in a week or two.
Thanks, -Chris
