[U-Boot] [PATCH v4 1/4] mkimage will now report information about loadable

Karl Apsite Karl.Apsite at dornerworks.com
Thu May 21 15:52:47 CEST 2015


From: Karl Apsite <karl.apsite at dornerworks.com>

Added FIT_LOADABLE_PROP, so the user can identify an optional entry
named "loadables" in their .its configuration. "loadables" is a comma
separated list in the .its

Documentation can be found in doc/uImage.FIT/source_file_format.txt and
                              doc/uImage.Fit/multi-with-loadables.its

Changes in v4:
- Corrected capitalization on "U-Boot"
- A couple lines were corrected to respect the 78 column limit

Changes in v3:
- Moved the documentation about the loadables field from the commit
  message, to a new example.its file in doc/uImage.FIT/
    doc/uImage.FIT/multi-with-loadables.its
