Why? mkimage is u-boot specific, and hence is maintained by u-boot. If you're not using u-boot, then you don't need mkimage. What is wrong with it being a prereq like all the other tools we use? If you're doing embedded development, you're installing non-distribution cross toolchain anyway. dtc and mkimage are embedded development tools. They belong with the embedded development toolchain. mkimage is already part of ELDK. Cheers, g. -- Grant Likely, B.Sc., P.Eng. Secret Lab Technologies Ltd.
