package/uboot-tools: Add mkenvimage for host.
PATCH 1/1 package/uboot-tools: Add mkenvimage for host.
Hello there,
I need to use mkenvimage. And it seems that the easiest way is to automatically install it in the HOST_UBOOT_TOOLS_INSTALL_CMDS target. The tool mkenvimage appeared v2011.12 of uboot, so it's present in all the versions that buildroot supports.
The patch is a simple line, if anyone is interested.
Regards

I need to use mkenvimage. And it seems that the easiest way is to automatically install it in the
HOST_UBOOT_TOOLS_INSTALL_CMDStarget. The tool mkenvimage appeared v2011.12 of uboot, so it's present in all the versions that buildroot supports.

Indeed, mkenvimage is useful.
However:
*) Could you send a proper git patch, with a description, Signed-off-by line, and sent using git send-email so that it doesn't get line-wrapped by your mail client.
*) I would like to see an option being added in the U-Boot configuration options to pass a txt file containing an environment definition, which would be passed through mkenvimage to generate an image environment, and then installed in $(BINARIES_DIR). Could you cook such a patch, or do you prefer if someone else does it?
Thanks,
Thomas

Ok I will look at that and do my best.

Sounds good to me, I will send you a new patch. Hopefully before the end of the week.
