I'm not sure what you mean by "automation". Please elucidate. > Bin_dep.sh provides the same, once it is there it will be easier to handle > any u-boot.bin post processing in board/arch/Soc specific folders (even we > can append tools too). The U-Boot build process is controlled by the top level Makefile, so when you need an additional step to warp the standard U-Boot binary image (u-boot.bin) into a new, custom image format (u-boot.kwd ?), you will have to add a rule for that int he top level Makefile, plus provide the required scripts / tools (note that these may or may not be included with the U-Boot source tree). > I wonder why I need to modify root Makefile to support new board? We are not talking about adding a new board, but about adding a new image format. > Even this can be automated to put relevant boards configuration to respective > soc/Arch folder I don't understand what you mean.
