[PATCH 0/3] powerpc: Add support for FIT uImages

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



These patches add support for creating the "new" FIT uImage type
that U-Boot can use.  Additional info about FIT images can be
found in the doc/uImage.FIT/ directory of the U-Boot source.
Here's a link to a howto which gives an overview of the format:
http://git.denx.de/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?p=u-boot.git;a=blob;f=doc/uImage.FIT/howto.txt;h=8065e9e1d8d4d65a9b5fe0fce08d3709183d0ee4;hb=HEAD

I've only added support for PowerPC, but the arm, avr32, blackfin,
and sh arches could use the same framework in theory.  The change
is especially useful on PowerPC since it creates 1 FIT uImage that
combines the functionality of an "old" uImage format, a device
tree blob, and possibly a ramdisk.

  powerpc: Use scripts/mkuboot.sh instead of 'mkimage'
  powerpc: Add support for creating FIT uImages
  powerpc: Add support for ram filesystems in FIT uImages
