Subject: [PATCH v3 11/23] PBL: allow to link ELF image into PBL
Date: Thu, 08 Jan 2026 16:50:08 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260108-pbl-load-elf-v3-11-e28c931fc179@pengutronix.de> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260108-pbl-load-elf-v3-0-e28c931fc179@pengutronix.de>
Some architectures want to link the barebox proper ELF image into the
PBL. Allow that and provide a Kconfig option to select the ELF image.
