Yes, and you're able to assume some size for them, which is what you put in the dts file? > > > - the U-Boot is the thing you are wanting to limit > > > - the dtb has microcode added > > > - the ucode is empty in this case > > > - the fdtmap is variable in size > > > > > > So this all seems a bit backwards.

The > solution belongs in Binman. Your series puts reasonable estimates on the size of the blobs and then will give a failure such as: binman: Node '/binman/rom/intel-vga': Offset 0xfff90000 (4294508544) overlaps with previous entry '/binman/rom/fdtmap' ending at 0xfff902e1 (4294509281) Which is not as nice as (I just threw in a limit): u-boot-nodtb.bin exceeds file size limit: limit: 0x927c0 bytes actual: 0x9a810 bytes excess: 0x8050 bytes make[1]: *** [/home/trini/work/u-boot/u-boot/Makefile:1359: u-boot-nodtb.bin] Error 1 And tells us how much we need to get back size wise. Aside from when using the actual blobs (and in which case a real error will be shown when trying to use them), it's always about making an estimate on the part of the system that we control. -- Tom
