Subject: [Buildroot] [PATCH 3/7] board/freescale: use flash.bin for imx9 boot file
Date: Tue, 20 Oct 2026 12:28:57 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261020102906.1918308-3-peter@korsgaard.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261020102906.1918308-1-peter@korsgaard.com>
The boot file is generally referred to flash.bin, which is also the name
mainline U-Boot uses:
https://docs.u-boot-project.org/en/v2026.10/board/nxp/imx93_frdm.html#build-u-boot
https://trustedfirmware-a.readthedocs.io/en/stable/plat/imx9.html#deploy-tf-a-images
https://spsdk.readthedocs.io/en/v3.4.1/examples/ahab/imx93/imx93_ahab_uboot.html#ahab-image-container-set
So use that here as well for clarity and compatibility with mainline U-Boot.
