Makefile: prefer mkimage for sunxi images#238
Merged
Conversation
U-Boot's mkimage supports generating Allwinner eGON boot images with the sunxi_egon image type. Prefer that when available, since mkimage is maintained and commonly packaged with U-Boot tools. Keep mksunxiboot as a fallback for setups with older mkimage versions or without mkimage installed. Signed-off-by: James Hilliard <james.hilliard1@gmail.com>

There was a problem hiding this comment.
Thanks, looks good, and mkimage is indeed the more reliable tool moving forward. Tested by misspelling mkimage and sunxi_egon, to test the fallback paths.
