2016-12-19binman: Automatically include a U-Boot .dtsi fileSimon Glass
For boards that need U-Boot-specific additions to the device tree, it is a minor annoyance to have to add these each time the tree is synced with upstream. Add a means to include a file (e.g. u-boot.dtsi) automatically into the .dts file before it is compiled. The file uses is the first one that exists in this list: arch/<arch>/dts/<board.dts>-u-boot.dtsi arch/<arch>/dts/<soc>-u-boot.dtsi arch/<arch>/dts/<cpu>-u-boot.dtsi arch/<arch>/dts/<vendor>-u-boot.dtsi arch/<arch>/dts/u-boot.dtsi Signed-off-by: Simon Glass <sjg@chromium.org> Suggested-by: Tom Rini <trini@konsulko.com> Reviewed-by: Bin Meng <bmeng.cn@gmail.com> Tested-by: Bin Meng <bmeng.cn@gmail.com>
2016-12-19binman: Add support for building x86 ROMsSimon Glass
The structure of x86 ROMs is pretty complex. There are various binary blobs to place in the image. Microcode requires special handling so that it is available to very early code and can be used without any memory whatsoever. Add support for the various entry types that are currently needed, along with some tests. Signed-off-by: Simon Glass <sjg@chromium.org> Tested-by: Bin Meng <bmeng.cn@gmail.com>
2016-12-19binman: Introduce binman, a tool for building binary imagesSimon Glass
This adds the basic code for binman, including command parsing, processing of entries and generation of images. So far no entry types are supported. These will be added in future commits as examples of how to add new types. See the README for documentation. Signed-off-by: Simon Glass <sjg@chromium.org> Tested-by: Bin Meng <bmeng.cn@gmail.com>
