[Buildroot] [PATCH] add support for Freescale .sb format to uboot

We had a patch sent in March this year adding support for u-boot.sb:

[Buildroot] [PATCH 2/2] u-boot: add support for u-boot.sb file format

It was more complete than this one, because it included the dependency
on host-elftosb, which is needed to bring the elftosb tool built by
Buildroot before U-Boot uses it to generate the .sb image.

Best regards,

Thomas

Any reason why it has not gotten into the git repo?

Not really. I don't have any imx hw here. Are you able to test it?

It was submitted in March by a guy from Armadeus, and they do use i.MX
hardware a lot, so I guess that it works.

Sorry, i didnt have time to test it yet.
And unfortunately it doesn't look like i will have time for it
until the end of the week. How it is between christmas and new year,
i cannot tell. But i try to fit it in somehow.

Thanks for your patience and sorry for the delay

Applied, thanks. I had to add the host-elftosb dependency to make it
work properly.

Thanks,
