From mboxrd@z Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970 From: Chris Webb Date: Tue, 16 Jul 2019 20:51:44 +0100 Subject: [U-Boot] [PATCH v3 0/2] rockchip: make_fit_atf.py Eliminate pyelftools dependency Message-ID: <20190716195143.GA10526@arachsys.com> List-Id: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit To: u-boot@lists.denx.de Building for rockchip, make_fit_atf.py depends on pyelftools, a non-bundled python module that is not used elsewhere in building u-boot or the kernel. We only use pyelftools to pull out PT_LOAD segments. ELF is very simple, so doing this manually is easy and spares users the extra dependency. In fact, a straightforward implementation shrinks make_fit_aft.py rather than adding complexity. Andy Yan's patch https://gitlab.denx.de/u-boot/custodians/u-boot-rockchip/commit/619f002db864ef8caa30863bde62df5c651a7312 is a prerequisite for this. The new code does not erroneously count GNU_STACK sections and therefore without the above patch, the loadables in the conf section will always be one short, even where GNU_STACK is present. I have tested this script with python 2 and 3 against all bl31 elf files at https://github.com/rockchip-linux/rkbin/tree/master/bin/rk33 as well as an rk3399 bl31.elf built locally from the master branch of https://github.com/ARM-software/arm-trusted-firmware to which my toolchain added the extra GNU_STACK segment. In each case, identical *.bin files were produced compared to the pyelftools implementation, and a correct .its configuration (without off-by-one error) was emitted, with and without dtbs supplied to the script. Changes in v2: - no exception on a valid but completely empty bl31 ELF file - restrict documentation updates to the Rockchip docs (!) Changes in v3: - code style: add correct whitespace around multiply operator
