Summary: Check if FIT image and Image Tree Source (its) are created correctly.
The Linux kernel allows multiple DTBs to share the same compatible string. For example: qcs6490-rb3gen2.dtb qcs6490-rb3gen2-vision-mezzanine.dtb qcs6490-rb3gen2-industrial-mezzanine.dtb All of these use the same base compatible string: compatible = "qcom,qcs6490-rb3gen2", "qcom,qcm6490"; Since the latter two DTBs are overlays on top of the base DTB and do not modify platform properties, they retain the same compatible string. When these DTBs are bundled into a single fitImage, the bootloader cannot distinguish between them due to identical compatible strings. To address this, introduce a mechanism to extend the compatible string using a OE build variable: FIT_DTB_COMPATIBLE_EXTENTION[dtb_name] = "extension" This appends the extension to the first compatible string in the DTB, resulting in unique entries in the generated .its file. For example: FIT_DTB_COMPATIBLE_EXTENTION[qcs6490-rb3gen2-vision-mezzanine] = "vision" FIT_DTB_COMPATIBLE_EXTENTION[qcs6490-rb3gen2-industrial-mezzanine] = "industrial" Generates: compatible = "qcom,qcs6490-rb3gen2-vision", "qcom,qcm6490"; compatible = "qcom,qcs6490-rb3gen2-industrial", "qcom,qcm6490"; Suggested-By: Alexander Kanavin <alex.kanavin@gmail.com> Suggested-By: Dmitry Baryshkov <dmitry.baryshkov@oss.qualcomm.com> Signed-off-by: Kavinaya S <kavinaya@qti.qualcomm.com> --- meta/classes-recipe/kernel-fit-image.bbclass | 8 ++- meta/conf/image-fitimage.conf | 12 +++++ meta/lib/oe/fitimage.py | 4 +- meta/lib/oeqa/selftest/cases/fitimage.py | 52 ++++++++++++++++++++ 4 files changed, 74 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-)
