+title: Binman firmware layout
+
+maintainers:
+ - Simon Glass <[email protected]>
+
+description: |
+ The binman node provides a layout for firmware, used when packaging firmware
+ from multiple projects. It is based on fixed-partitions, with some
+ extensions, but uses 'compatible' to indicate the contents of the node, to
+ avoid perturbing or confusing existing installations which use 'label' for a
+ particular purpose.
+
+ Binman supports properties used as inputs to the firmware-packaging process,
+ such as those which control alignment of partitions. This binding addresses
+ these 'input' properties. For example, it is common for the 'reg' property
+ (an 'output' property) to be set by Binman, based on the alignment requested
+ in the input.
+
+ Once processing is complete, input properties have mostly served their
+ purpose, at least until the firmware is repacked later, e.g. due to a
+ firmware update. The 'fixed-partitions' binding should provide enough
+ information to read the firmware at runtime, including decompression if
+ needed.
+
+ Documentation for Binman is available at:
+
+ https://u-boot.readthedocs.io/en/latest/develop/package/binman.html
+

2.42.0.758.gaed0368e0e-goog
Add three properties for controlling alignment of partitions, aka
'entries' in binman.
For now there is no explicit mention of hierarchy, so a 'section' is
just the 'binman' node.
These new properties are inputs to the packaging process, but are also
needed if the firmware is repacked, to ensure that alignment
constraints are not violated. Therefore they are provided as part of
the schema.

Changes in v2:
- Fix 'a' typo in commit message

2.42.0.758.gaed0368e0e-goog
Add two compatible for binman entries, as a starting point for the
schema.
Note that, after discussion on v2, we decided to keep the existing
meaning of label so as not to require changes to existing userspace
software when moving to use binman nodes to specify the firmware
layout.
