[U-Boot] [PATCH] bin_dep.sh Support

[Ronen Shitrit]

Hi

I'm not sure we are on the same page here, the Kirkwood has an internal bootROM which can only boot an image if this image is wrapped by a specific header.

The do_image should take the u-boot bin and wrap it with this header.

How do u suggest we will support this header generation for the U-Boot?

Thanks for your help
Ronen Shitrit

It is obvious that you can invent some new stuff (or rather reinvent
existing stuff) and then use it for your own boards.

The questions remain if this makes sense, and if this should be added
to mainline.
