Build failure to create final boot image

[phodina]

Hi @repk , thanks for the tools to package u-boot in libre way on recent Linux.

However, following the instructions in the readme I get the following error when attempting to make the final boot image:

command "gxlimg" "-t" "fip" "--bl2" "fip/bl2.bin.enc" "--bl30" "fip/bl30.bin.enc" "--bl31" "fip/bl31.img.enc" "--bl33" "u-boot.bin.enc" "gxl-boot.bin" failed with status 234

I'm attempting to make package definition for the u-boot on Amlogic SoC s905x for GNU Guix. Here's the definition:

The important parts are https://source.denx.de/u-boot/custodians/u-boot-amlogic as u-boot source with commit e0638f1d09b9e9caead4e3909e7dc8aaa41febe1. This builds okay without any additional steps.

But I wanted to have already the bootloader in the format the HW expects it so I added additional stage to download the binaries from https://github.com/BayLibre/u-boot/raw/libretech-cc/fip/gxl/* (bl2.bin, bl30.bin and bl31.img).

Then I follow the instructions and run the commands you listed.

Any idea what's wrong?
