Subject: [PATCH v10 2/2] arm64: boot: Support Flat Image Tree
Date: Fri,  2 Feb 2024 10:30:34 -0700
Message-Id: <20240202173034.221790-3-sjg@chromium.org>
In-Reply-To: <20240202173034.221790-1-sjg@chromium.org>

Add a script which produces a Flat Image Tree (FIT), a single file
containing the built kernel and associated devicetree files.
Compression defaults to gzip which gives a good balance of size and
performance.

The files compress from about 86MB to 24MB using this approach.

The FIT can be used by bootloaders which support it, such as U-Boot
and Linuxboot. It permits automatic selection of the correct
devicetree, matching the compatible string of the running board with
the closest compatible string in the FIT. There is no need for
filenames or other workarounds.

Add a 'make image.fit' build target for arm64, as well.

The FIT can be examined using 'dumpimage -l'.

This uses the 'dtbs-list' file but processes only .dtb files, ignoring
the overlay .dtbo files.

This features requires pylibfdt (use 'pip install libfdt'). It also
requires compression utilities for the algorithm being used. Supported
compression options are the same as the Image.xxx files. Use
FIT_COMPRESSION to select an algorithm other than gzip.

While FIT supports a ramdisk / initrd, no attempt is made to support
this here, since it must be built separately from the Linux build.

+"""Build a FIT containing a lot of devicetree files
+
+Usage:
+    make_fit.py -A arm64 -n 'Linux-6.6' -O linux
+        -f arch/arm64/boot/image.fit -k /tmp/kern/arch/arm64/boot/image.itk
+        @arch/arm64/boot/dts/dtbs-list -E -c gzip
+
+Creates a FIT containing the supplied kernel and a set of devicetree files,
+either specified individually or listed in a file (with an '@' prefix). Files
+which don't end in '.dtb' are silently ignored.
+
+Use -E to generate an external FIT (where the data is placed after the
+FIT data structure). This allows parsing of the data without loading
+the entire FIT.
+
+Use -c to compress the data, using bzip2, gzip, lz4, lzma, lzo and
+zstd algorithms.
+
+The resulting FIT can be booted by bootloaders which support FIT, such
+as U-Boot, Linuxboot, Tianocore, etc.
+
+Note that this tool does not yet support adding a ramdisk / initrd.
