[U-Boot] [PATCH 07/29] binman: Add a new 'image-pos' property

Simon Glass sjg at chromium.org
Tue Jul 17 19:25:30 UTC 2018


At present each entry has an offset within its parent section. This is
useful for figuring out how entries relate to one another. However it
is sometimes necessary to locate an entry within an image, regardless
of which sections it is nested inside.

Add a new 'image-pos' property to provide this information. Also add
some documentation for the -u option binman provides, which updates the
device tree with final entry information.

+Access to binman entry offsets at run time (fdt)
+------------------------------------------------
+
+Binman can update the U-Boot FDT to include the final position and size of
+each entry in the images it processes. The option to enable this is -u and it
+causes binman to make sure that the 'offset', 'image-pos' and 'size' properties
+are set correctly for every entry. Since it is not necessary to specify these in
+the image definition, binman calculates the final values and writes these to
+the device tree. These can be used by U-Boot at run-time to find the location
+of each entry.
