Indeed, mkenvimage is useful. However: *) Could you send a proper git patch, with a description, Signed-off-by line, and sent using git send-email so that it doesn't get line-wrapped by your mail client. *) I would like to see an option being added in the U-Boot configuration options to pass a txt file containing an environment definition, which would be passed through mkenvimage to generate an image environment, and then installed in $(BINARIES_DIR). Could you cook such a patch, or do you prefer if someone else does it?
