[Buildroot] [PATCH 1/7] package/freescale-ele-imx: install with original filename

[Buildroot] [PATCH 1/7] package/freescale-ele-imx: install with original filename

[Peter Korsgaard]

U-Boot expects the original filename (E.G. mx93a1-ahab-container.img rather
than ahab-container.img), so install into BINARIES_DIR with the original
filename and add a ahab-container.img symlink similar to how it is done in
firmware-imx.

[Buildroot] [PATCH 2/7] boot/uboot: add support for firmware-ele-imx

[Peter Korsgaard]

Similar to the existing firmware-imx support, some platforms need the
EdgeLock Secure Enclave firmware when building U-Boot:

https://docs.u-boot-project.org/en/v2026.10/board/nxp/imx93_frdm.html

So add an option for this and extend the existing UBOOT_COPY_IMX_FW_FILES
logic to also handle it.

[Buildroot] [PATCH 3/7] board/freescale: use flash.bin for imx9 boot file

[Peter Korsgaard]

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.

[Buildroot] [PATCH 4/7] configs/imx93frdm_defconfig: new defconfig

[Peter Korsgaard]

The i.MX93 FRDM board is quite nicely supported in mainline, so add a
defconfig using the latest mainline U-Boot/TF-A/Linux releases as an
alternative to the vendor BSP used by freescale_imx93frdm_defconfig.

Mainline U-Boot uses binman to assemble the flash.bin boot image, so we do
not need the imx9-bootloader-prepare.sh post-image script.
