Hi Paul,

I am trying to build U-Boot 2021.07-rc5 for the
imx8mm-cl-iot-gate_defconfig target and I am following the imx8mm-evk
readme: doc/board/freescale/imx8mm_evk.rst for the build instructions
and this is the output:

make[1]: Nothing to be done for 'SPL'.
  BINMAN  all
Image 'main-section' is missing external blobs and is non-functional: blob-ext

Some images are invalid

This happens because I did not provide the fip.bin binary.

Is it OK if I remove the fip.bin entry like this? Would the board still boot?

Could you please let me know the process for generating fip.bin?

It would be nice to have a doc/board/compulab/imx8mm-iot-gate.rst
README file with these details. I can help with that but need your
help to clarify the generation of fip.bin.

Also, is it OK if I use the ATF firmware and LPDDR binaries version as
specified in doc/board/freescale/imx8mm_evk.rst ?

Thanks,

Fabio Estevam
