Recent version of U-Boot use binman to provide a mechanism for building images, from simple SPL + U-Boot combinations, to more complex arrangements with many parts. This tool uses additional host python modules that must be provided by Buildroot. So introduce a new option BR2_TARGET_UBOOT_USE_BINMAN to add additional host packages in U-Boot build dependency to use binman. The binman requirement is directly included in buildman dependency (tools/buildman/requirements.txt) since within U-Boot, binman is invoked by the build system, here buildman [1].

Buildroot is a simple, efficient and easy-to-use tool to generate embedded Linux systems through cross-compilation. The documentation can be found in docs/manual. You can generate a text document with 'make manual-text' and read output/docs/manual/manual.text. Online documentation can be found at http://buildroot.org/docs.html To build and use the buildroot stuff, do the following: 1) run 'make menuconfig' 2) select the target architecture and the packages you wish to compile 3) run 'make' 4) wait while it compiles 5) find the kernel, bootloader, root filesystem, etc. in output/images You do not need to be root to build or run buildroot. Have fun! Buildroot comes with a basic configuration for a number of boards. Run 'make list-defconfigs' to view the list of provided configurations. Please feed suggestions, bug reports, insults, and bribes back to the buildroot mailing list: buildroot@buildroot.org You can also find us on #buildroot on OFTC IRC.
