Not sure it should be with the filesystem tools. Maybe just Hardware
handling?

Not needed, this is the default.

Isn't the default 'make install' working properly? Otherwise:
 - indentation is one tab, not two spaces
 - $(INSTALL) and not install
 - when using -D, you must pass a full path as second argument, i.e
   $(TARGET_DIR)/usr/sbin/kobs-ng

I'm not sure to understand how this tool is typically used. On the
target itself? But then how do you get something on the target from the
first place if the tool is needed to flash a bootloader in NAND?

This patch lacks a header with description and Signed-off-by. Also, is
there a chance that you can submit it upstream?

Thanks,

The menu says "Filesystem and flash utilities", kobs-ng is a flash 
utility, so it initially made sense to me. I can move it to the hardware 
section if you prefer.

There isn't really an upstream URL for this specific package. Although 
it is GPL, and freely distributable, Freescale releases it as part of 
their board support packages, not as a standalone package. The only way 
to get it from Freescale is by downloading an entire BSP, each one of 
which usually has a different version of kobs-ng in it.

It's similar to the existing Freescale elftosb package already in the 
tree. Although it doesn't look like there is a Config.in in the elftosb 
directory, only elftosb.mk, so I'm not sure what the current status of 
that package is.

I see there are also a few other Freescale specific firmware and library 
packages in the tree (freescale-imx directory), they all say "This 
library is provided by Freescale as-is and doesn't have an upstream.", 
should I just put something similar?

You mean the source line, not the version line, right?

> Isn't the default 'make install' working properly?

I remember having problems with it on an earlier version, I'll test 
again with this version and see if they were resolved.

Yes, the tool is typically used on the target itself. I don't have 
extensive experience with freescale, but my understanding is you 
typically bootstrap via some other boot method (SD card, USB-DFU, etc) 
to initially burn a bootstream to NAND. At that point, you can update 
the bootloader in an environment booted from NAND. u-boot has a tool 
called mxsboot that tries to generate a bootstream image that can be 
burned directly to NAND, but it makes a lot of assumptions about things 
kobs-ng determines dynamically and it seems more reliable to use the 
freescale purposed tool on the actual target environment.

> This patch lacks a header with description and Signed-off-by. Also, is

I'll add a header. I'm really not sure how one would submit changes to 
freescale upstream; AFAIK their code repository is not public and they 
don't have a mailing list for this tool's development. They have some 
general-purpose forums, and there are a fair number of freescale 
employees subscribed to various embedded oriented mailing lists (perhaps 
even this one?), but short of purchasing a support contract I don't know 
that there is any way to get official freescale notice of a patch 
submission.

Thanks?

I resubmitted the patch to add kobs-ng; I think I addressed all of your
feedback other than the category. I don't think I saw a response to
this, so I left it in the flash utility category. I can move it to the
hardware handling category and resubmit if you still think that's a
better place for it.

Thanks...
