In addition to the previous question:<BR>
<BR>
- I'm interested to calculate and store from U-boot code but the fit_image_set_hashes is compiled only when the USE_HOSTCC symbol is defined. Why? Is there a particular reason? I think that a lot of useful functions (ifdef-ed by USE_HOSTCC) should be available also in u-boot code, anyway the linker will drop the unused functions.<BR>

Any comments?<BR>
