[U-Boot] [PATCH 01/12] binman: Allow unit addresses for binaries

Simon Glass sjg at chromium.org
Wed May 16 01:52:47 UTC 2018


Allow the same binary to appear multiple times in an image by using the
device-tree unit-address feature (u-boot at 0, u-boot at 1).

 Examples of the above options can be found in the tests. See the
 tools/binman/test directory.
 
+It is possible to have the same binary appear multiple times in the image,
+either by using a unit number suffix (u-boot at 0, u-boot at 1) or by using a
+different name for each and specifying the type with the 'type' attribute.
