[OE-core] [RFC PATCH 1/4] u-boot: basic support of device tree blob reassembly

Tue Apr 19 12:46:40 UTC 2016


This introduces a new task 'assemble_dtb' to handle the concatenation of U-Boot
without DTB and the compiled U-Boot DTB while using CONFIG_OF_SEPARATE.
Basically, this task merges the u-boot-nodtb.bin and the device tree blob using
the 'cat' command and overrides the u-boot.bin file which is generated
at the compilation step.

This task is intended to be used in the verified-boot image generation process
after the kernel-fitimage class had appended a public key to the device tree
blob. It is placed after the do_deploy and before the do_install tasks and it
replaces the u-boot binaries in both deploy directory and build directory
in order to minimize the changes in later tasks.
