[PATCH 3/3] arm64: boot: Support Flat Image Tree
Simon Glass
sjg at chromium.org
Thu Oct 26 09:26:25 CEST 2023
Add a script which produces a Flat Image Tree (FIT), a single file
containing the built kernel and associated devicetree files.
Compression defaults to gzip which gives a good balance of size and
performance.
The files compress from about 85MB to 24MB using this approach.
The FIT can be used by bootloaders which support it, such as U-Boot
and Linuxboot. It permits automatic selection of the correct
devicetree, matching the compatible string of the running board with
the closest compatible string in the FIT. There is no need for
filenames or other workarounds.
Add a 'make image.fit' build target for arm64, as well.
The FIT can be examined using 'dumpimage -l'.
This features requires pylibfdt (use 'pip install libfdt'). It also
requires compression utilities for the algorithm being used. Supported
compression options are the same as the Image.xxx files. For now there
is no way to change the compression other than by editing the rule for
$(obj)/image.fit
While FIT supports a ramdisk / initrd, no attempt is made to support
this here, since it must be built separately from the Linux build.

+"""Build a FIT containing a lot of devicetree files

+Usage:
+ make_fit.py -A arm64 -n 'Linux-6.6' -O linux
+ -f arch/arm64/boot/image.fit /tmp/kern/arch/arm64/boot/Image
+ /tmp/kern/arch/arm64/boot/dts/ -E -c gzip
+
+Creates a FIT containing the supplied list of files. The kernel must
+be specified first. The DTB files are specified by way of a directory
+tree containing them.
+
+Use -E to generate an external FIT (where the data is placed after the
+FIT data structure). This allows parsing of the data without loading
+the entire FIT.
+
+Use -c to compress the data, using bzip2, gzip, lz4, lzma, lzo and
+zstd
+
+The resulting FIT can be booted by bootloaders which support FIT, such
+as U-Boot, Linuxboot, Tianocore, etc.
+
+Note that this tool does not yet support adding a ramdisk / initrd.
