Subject: [PATCH] scripts: bareboxenv: add erase hint if build as host-tool
Date: Fri,  6 Aug 2021 11:33:37 +0200
Message-ID: <20210806093337.10153-1-m.felsch@pengutronix.de> (raw)

The bareboxenv behviour is different if used as host-tool. As host-tool
the erase is skipped which can confuse the user. Add a help note as hot
fix. In the long term we should add the host-tool erase support as well.
