I checked it with version 2022.10+dfsg-1 and AFAICT both command help and the manpage have the mentioned options documented. Chris, do you consider this bug fixed? signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part.

It appears the recommendation from mkimage help output is to use "mkimage -T list" now. It seems like this should be changed to "-T list" in the manpage. There are several other options -A, -O and -C that also should probably be updated, but those options need an updated to the code as well, as they output the usage information in addition to listing the available Architecture/Os/Compression types: $ mkimage -A list Invalid architecture, supported are: Unknown architecture Unknown architecture Unknown architecture Unknown architecture alphaAlpha arc ARC arm ARM arm64AArch64 ... x86_64 AMD x86_64 xtensa Xtensa Error: Invalid architecture 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' ... -i => input filename for ramdisk file Signing / verified boot not supported (CONFIG_FIT_SIGNATURE undefined) mkimage -V ==> print version information and exit Use '-T list' to see a list of available image types Using "mkimage -T list" just displays the list of image types, from what I can tell, which seems more-or-less fine. I haven't tested anything newer than 2020.04~rc2, so there may be newer fixes upstream... live well, vagrant signature.asc Description: PGP signature
Bug#955310: u-boot-tools: update list of architectures in mkimage
Package: u-boot-tools Version: 2019.01+dfsg-7 Severity: minor Dear Maintainer, * What led up to the situation? read the manpage for mkimage and then used 'mkimage -T -h' * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or ineffective)? N/A * What was the outcome of this action? The output (ellipsized) $ mkimage -T -h Invalid image type, supported are: Unknown image type Unknown image type aisimage Davinci AIS image atmelimage ATMEL ROM-Boot Image filesystem Filesystem Image ... * What outcome did you expect instead? I had hoped for one or more lines for ARM. I found this out because I don't know if I should use 'arm' which fits all types of ARM or an architecture-specific form such as 'arm64' or 'aarch64'. $ mkimage -T -h Invalid image type, supported are: Unknown image type Unknown image type aisimage Davinci AIS image arm ARM image arm64(if necessary) armv71 (if necessary) armel(if necessary) armhf(if necessary) atmelimage ATMEL ROM-Boot Image filesystem Filesystem Image ... -- System Information: Debian Release: 10.3 APT prefers stable APT policy: (900, 'stable'), (500, 'stable-updates') Architecture: arm64 (aarch64) Kernel: Linux 5.4.28-sunxi64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Kernel taint flags: TAINT_CRAP Locale: LANG=en_CA.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_CA.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) (ignored: LC_ALL set to en_CA.UTF-8), LANGUAGE=en_CA.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) (ignored: LC_ALL set to en_CA.UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) Versions of packages u-boot-tools depends on: ii libc6 2.28-10
