| |
The following patches merge the mkimage tool into the kernel. This utility is used by several arches to create a uImage file suitable for booting with U-Boot.
As it stands today, a mkuboot.sh script is called, which searches for the mkimage utility installed on the host system. This is slightly suboptimal as it prevents things like automated rebuilds of certain platforms on those architectures.
This is currently based on the mkimage version found in U-Boot 1.3.1. The tool is called mkubootimg in these patches, as mkimage is slightly ambiguous outside of the U-Boot source tree.
Note: arch/powerpc the conversion in these patches as Paul's tree has some changes that haven't hit Linus' tree yet. I'll fixup arch/powerpc as soon as these patches get merged.
