PATCH v7 1/1 u-boot: Add mkenvimage tool

This utility is used for creation of images containing usable in run-time U-Boot environment.

As of today this utility is added per-board like here [1] for Intel Edison board.

[1] http://git.yoctoproject.org/cgit/cgit.cgi/meta-intel-edison/tree/meta-intel-edison-bsp/recipes-bsp/u-boot/u-boot-tools_2014.04.bb

Given there're quite some U-Boot tools that we may want to add later this recipe name switch from "u-boot-mkimage" to generic "u-boot-tools" still for compatibility we provide "u-boot-mkimage" with help of PROVIDES as well as proposed "u-boot-mkenvimage".

Changes v6 -> v7:
* Fix building "u-boot-tools-native"

Changes v5 -> v6:
* Really enable separate pakaging of mkimage and mkenvimage

Changes v4 -> v5:
* Added backward compatibility with "u-boot-mkimage" recipe
* Improved handling of nativesdk
* Update all references from "u-boot-mkimage" to "u-boot-tools"

Changes v3 -> v4:
* Updated maintainer info to make Yocto autobuilder happy again

Changes v2 -> v3:
* Recipe renamed to "u-boot-tools" to better match its contents (especially in the future as we add more tools there)
* Existing "u-boot-mkimage" and newly introduced "u-boot-mkenvimage" made avaialble via PROVIDES

Changes v1 -> v2:
* Got rid of a separate recipe and instead added mkenvimage to u-boot mkimage recipe

PATCH v7 1/1 u-boot: Add mkenvimage tool

Hi Khem,

Quoted 2 lines · Khem Raj

http://errors.yoctoproject.org/Errors/Details/202185/

Looking at the target name "u-boot-tools-1_2018.11-r0 do_compile"
I think it might have something to do with bump of U-Boot to v2018.11
and the error message in question was added in v2018.11-rc1,
see http://git.denx.de/?p=u-boot.git;a=commitdiff;h=a4958a71017fb142542f977c843c5fce769fc6ea

The problem is we use "sandbox_defconfig" as a dummy defconfig because otherwise (not configured) U-Boot's build-system won't allow us to proceed and in its turn mentioned patch adds a check for a target platform like "if defined(__x86_64__)" which we essentially don't satisfy and so we fail.

There're the following solutions:
1. Revert mentioned patch
2. Disable "CONFIG_EFI_LOADER"

Reverting is not nice and not future-proof.
Disabling of "CONFIG_EFI_LOADER" might be done in a couple of ways like:
1. Patching sandbox_defconfig
2. Filtering "CONFIG_EFI_LOADER" from "sandbox_defconfig" right before execution of "make sandbox_defconfig"

I think latter option is the simplest and cleanest.

Should I send a patch for that?

I think latter option is the simplest and cleanest.

Should I send a patch for that?

Let's add Tom (U-Boot upstream main maintainer) to this so he can comment.

Hey, so you've hit the problem Fedora also hit, but we haven't gotten a real solution to. Yes, the best "fix" here for just building tools would be to turn off EFI_LOADER in sandbox, on all arches.

Looking at the target name "u-boot-tools-1_2018.11-r0 do_compile"
I think it might have something to do with bump of U-Boot to v2018.11
and the error message in question was added in v2018.11-rc1,
see http://git.denx.de/?p=u-boot.git;a=commitdiff;h=a4958a71017fb142542f977c843c5fce769fc6ea

The problem is we use "sandbox_defconfig" as a dummy defconfig because otherwise (not configured) U-Boot's build-system won't allow us to proceed and in its turn mentioned patch adds a check for a target platform like "if defined(__x86_64__)" which we essentially don't satisfy and so we fail.

There're the following solutions:
1. Revert mentioned patch
2. Disable "CONFIG_EFI_LOADER"

Reverting is not nice and not future-proof.
Disabling of "CONFIG_EFI_LOADER" might be done in a couple of ways like:
1. Patching sandbox_defconfig
2. Filtering "CONFIG_EFI_LOADER" from "sandbox_defconfig" right before execution of "make sandbox_defconfig"

I think latter option is the simplest and cleanest.

But why don't we simply use our own really dummy defconfig like that? ------------------->8--------------------
echo "CONFIG_SYS_TEXT_BASE=0" > .config
make olddefconfig
make tools
------------------->8--------------------

This is much cleaner approach and much simpler to implement.
