  • 🌱 bump to latest glximg upstream revision
  • 🌴 always build from source, with DEBUG=1
  • 🐸 do not install to /usr, refer directly to built bin
  • 🍃 better logging all around, show tree with contents of extracted
  • 🍀 drop 'trap' (that broke other stuff) as mktemp is run under TMPDIR (auto-cleaned)
  • 🌳 declare local variables, EXTRACT_DIR -> gxlimg_extract_temp_dir

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Build Improvements
    • Updated the image-packaging build process to use the bundled build-tool source directly.
    • Builds now verify the required image utility is available before continuing and use a consistent clean-build workflow.
    • Improved extraction visibility and renamed generated boot image artifacts for clearer identification.
    • Expanded error messages for unsupported hardware and invalid firmware images.
    • Updated the image utility source revision.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The extension now builds the pinned gxlimg source locally and uses that binary for FIP extraction, encryption, and repacking across supported SoC families. Temporary extraction handling and related error messages were updated.

Changes

Local gxlimg build and repack flow

Layer / File(s) Summary
Build the local gxlimg binary
extensions/gxlimg.sh
The pinned source commit changed. The build now runs make distclean and make DEBUG=1 without installing /usr/local/bin/gxlimg or writing a commit stamp.
Repack FIPs with the local binary
extensions/gxlimg.sh
The repack function validates the source-directory binary, extracts FIP contents into a declared temporary directory, renames u-boot.bin, and uses the local binary for gxl and g12a/g12b operations. Error messages and the function return were updated.

Priority: ⬇️ Low

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Change: Other

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to cd3c6

Build logs now include host-specific work paths, and offline supported board builds can fail during a diagnostic directory listing before repacking completes. Address both before merge.

Inline comments:
In `@extensions/gxlimg.sh`:
- Around line 37-39: Update the extraction flow around gxlimg_extract_temp_dir
so its absolute path is never emitted to the build log: use a generic status
message, execute the extraction and tree commands with relative paths where
possible, or redact the logged command text while preserving their behavior.
- Line 39: Make the tree diagnostic in the gxlimg repack flow non-fatal by
allowing run_host_command_logged to fail when tree is unavailable, while
preserving the subsequent bl33.enc replacement steps.
