[PATCH v3 19/19] binman: Support writing symbols inside a mkimage image

Simon Glass sjg at chromium.org
Mon Jul 10 04:41:17 CEST 2023


Add support for writing symbols and determining the assumed position of
binaries inside a mkimage image. This is useful as an example for other
entry types which might want to do the same thing.

Changes in v3:
- Add new patch to support writing symbols inside a mkimage image
