Subject: fdt: Add DEV_TREE_BIN option to specify a device tree binary file
X-Git-Url: http://git.dujemihanovic.xyz/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=63b4b5bae52e48528876e13e858ef934ac2e4a3b;p=u-boot.git

fdt: Add DEV_TREE_BIN option to specify a device tree binary file

In some cases, an externally-built device tree binary is required to be
attached to U-Boot. An example is when using image signing, since in that
case the .dtb file must include the public keys.

Add a DEV_TREE_BIN option to the Makefile, and update the documentation.

Usage is something like:

	make DEV_TREE_BIN=boot/am335x-boneblack-pubkey.dtb

 If you wish to put the fdt at a different address in memory, you can
 define the "fdtcontroladdr" environment variable. This is the hex
 address of the fdt binary blob, and will override either of the options.
