I confirm this is a regression.  Old versions of U-=Boot used to
print a helpful list of available options (for all "type" arguments,
include -A, -O, -T, and -C):

-> mkimage -V
mkimage version 2011.03
-> mkimage -A -h

Invalid CPU Type - valid names are: alpha, arm, x86, ia64, m68k, microblaze, 
mips, mips64, nios2, powerpc, ppc, s390, sh, sparc, sparc64, blackfin, avr32
Usage: mkimage -l image
  -l ==> list image header information
   mkimage [-x] -A arch -O os -T type -C comp -a addr -e ep -n name -d 
data_file[:data_file...] image
  -A ==> set architecture to 'arch'
  -O ==> set operating system to 'os'
  -T ==> set image type to 'type'
  -C ==> set compression type 'comp'
  -a ==> set load address to 'addr' (hex)
  -e ==> set entry point to 'ep' (hex)
  -n ==> set image name to 'name'
  -d ==> use image data from 'datafile'
  -x ==> set XIP (execute in place)
   mkimage [-D dtc_options] -f fit-image.its fit-image
   mkimage -V ==> print version information and exit

Now not only the list of available, supported options is missing,
instead when asking for "-A" the unrelated and useless message:

> Use -T to see a list of available image types

is printed.

This should really be fixed.

Thanks.

[U-Boot] List of architectures no longer printed

[Nathan Holder]

Hi,

"mkimage -A -h" no longer prints  architectures. Is there another way to get a 
list of architectures?

Reference:
http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/xenial/man1/mkimage.1.html
https://linux.die.net/man/1/mkimage
"-A [architecture]
Set architecture. Pass -h as the architecture to see the list of supported 
architectures."

Using Ubuntu 16LTS, here is result:

$ mkimage -A -h
Usage: mkimage -l image
  -l ==> list image header information
   mkimage [-x] -A arch -O os -T type -C comp -a addr -e ep -n name -d 
data_file[:data_file...] image
  -A ==> set architecture to 'arch'
  -O ==> set operating system to 'os'
  -T ==> set image type to 'type'
  -C ==> set compression type 'comp'
  -a ==> set load address to 'addr' (hex)
  -e ==> set entry point to 'ep' (hex)
  -n ==> set image name to 'name'
  -d ==> use image data from 'datafile'
  -x ==> set XIP (execute in place)
   mkimage [-D dtc_options] [-f fit-image.its|-F] fit-image
  -D => set all options for device tree compiler
  -f => input filename for FIT source
Signing / verified boot not supported (CONFIG_FIT_SIGNATURE undefined)
   mkimage -V ==> print version information and exit
Use -T to see a list of available image types
