[U-Boot] MKIMAGE u-boot.imx build error

Hi, I am in the middle of upgrading u-boot-2009.08 to u-boot-2014.07. Our resident u-boot expert is on vacation and I'm running into some issues. After working through a ton of compile errors I think I'm getting close.

Our system is based on the Freescale iMX53.

I am able to build and run on a mx53loco development board just fine, but for some reason I'm getting the below error when building for our custom board, which is similar to the development board.

I've compared the development board files to our files and I can't pinpoint why mkimage is giving a problem.


  LD      u-boot
  OBJCOPY u-boot.bin
  CFGS    board/freescale/mx53_gogo/imximage.cfg.cfgtmp
  MKIMAGE u-boot.imx
Usage: /home/dk/linux-upgrade/bootloader/u-boot-2014.07/tools/mkimage -l image
          -l ==> list image header information
       /home/dk/linux-upgrade/bootloader/u-boot-2014.07/tools/mkimage [-x] -A arch -O os -T type -C comp -a addr -e ep -n name -d data_file[:data_file...] image
          -A ==> set architecture to 'arch'
          -O ==> set operating system to 'os'
          -T ==> set image type to 'type'
          -C ==> set compression type 'comp'
          -a ==> set load address to 'addr' (hex)
          -e ==> set entry point to 'ep' (hex)
          -n ==> set image name to 'name'
          -d ==> use image data from 'datafile'
          -x ==> set XIP (execute in place)
       /home/dk/linux-upgrade/bootloader/u-boot-2014.07/tools/mkimage [-D dtc_options] [-f fit-image.its|-F] fit-image
          -D => set options for device tree compiler
          -f => input filename for FIT source
Signing / verified boot not supported (CONFIG_FIT_SIGNATURE undefined)
       /home/dk/linux-upgrade/bootloader/u-boot-2014.07/tools/mkimage -V ==> print version information and exit
make[1]: *** [u-boot.imx] Error 1
make: *** [u-boot.imx] Error 2
gogo build failed

If I set #define CONFIG_FIT_SIGNATURE in the config file then I get a ton of other build errors so I'm not sure if that's the correct path to take. Besides, the development board doesn't have CONFIG_FIT_SIGNATURE defined in its config file.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Dave
