Since cuImage and simpleImage on PowerPC and Microblaze bundle their DTB, can't we define the Appended DTB feature as an additional kernel image type? I.e, on ARM, you would typically have: zImage zImage + appended DTB uImage uImage + appended DTB Thomas -- Thomas Petazzoni, Free Electrons Kernel, drivers, real-time and embedded Linux development, consulting, training and support. http://free-electrons.com
