Re: [Ltib] Execute command after u-boot.bin is created

[Douglas Peterson]

Thanks Peter,

I didn't know if there was a 'cleaner' way to do it than modifying the Makefile.

Btw, objcopy is not sufficient for our needs. Our SREC is more complicated. A 
tool called srec_cat does the job.

Look at objcopy (i.e. "objcopy -I binary -O srec u-boot.bin
u-boot.srec").   Since it looks to be a one-time-thing (I don't think
you want to do this for every build) you could do it by hand.  But if
you really want to do it in the build, create a patch to u-boot's main
Makefile that add the objcopy command after it creates u-boot.bin...
