Hi Vagrant!
> u-boot-file appears to be hard-coded; there may be other boards which use a different u-boot artifact.
If you build U-Boot, there is also u-boot-nodtb.bin. Therefore the u-boot-file is a function argument to the public make-preinstalled-u-boot-package to allow a selection.
> Also, why return a single file, rather than just building a package and then allowing other functions to pick the appropriate file out of the resulting package?
The reason is in the patch set 1: There is (already in master) a bootloader-profile which is able to collect a chain of bootloaders. The version in master allows a collection of files from packages, but requires a special installer. I figured out that the usage of the bootloader-profile gets much easier if the packages to chain only contain preselected files. From a user perspective the content of a complete bootloader-package is kind of a blackbox. When writing an operating-system configuration it is easy to figure out the right U-Boot package name, but no one expects to be required to install U-Boot in his profile to figure out that the u-boot.bin is below the libexec directory and that he is even required to care about moving the file around in directory hierarchies.
However, you are right that the make-preinstalled-u-boot-package could take another U-Boot package as argument, being that other function to pick the appropriate file. Then it might be useful for other boards, too. The only trouble to solve then is a proper package name. Currently using make-preinstalled-u-boot-package the result of make-u-boot-package is only an intermediate package prefixed with “-complete”. Then a preinstalled package needs a suffix like “-bin”. I think this makes sense, I will change it.
> I wondered "why does it have to be cross-compiled" but then realized that came from the existing make-u-boot-package function.
Yes, that’s right, it is a copy from the other function. It will be gone with the re-work.
> I've mostly been building u-boot natively these days. :)
Me too, exclusively. :-)
Bye
Stefan
