[Bug 1931987] Re: [SRU] Creating FIT images is not supported

[Steve Langasek]

Hello Alfonso, or anyone else affected,

Accepted flash-kernel into hirsute-proposed. The package will build now
and be available at https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/flash-
kernel/3.104ubuntu4~21.04 in a few hours, and then in the -proposed
repository.

Please help us by testing this new package.  See
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation on how
to enable and use -proposed.  Your feedback will aid us getting this
update out to other Ubuntu users.

If this package fixes the bug for you, please add a comment to this bug,
mentioning the version of the package you tested, what testing has been
performed on the package and change the tag from verification-needed-
hirsute to verification-done-hirsute. If it does not fix the bug for
you, please add a comment stating that, and change the tag to
verification-failed-hirsute. In either case, without details of your
testing we will not be able to proceed.

Further information regarding the verification process can be found at
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/PerformingSRUVerification .  Thank you in
advance for helping!

N.B. The updated package will be released to -updates after the bug(s)
fixed by this package have been verified and the package has been in
-proposed for a minimum of 7 days.

Title:
  [SRU] Creating FIT images is not supported

Status in flash-kernel package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in flash-kernel source package in Focal:
  New
Status in flash-kernel source package in Hirsute:
  Fix Committed

Bug description:
  [Impact]

  flash-kernel does currently not support creating FIT images. There are
  some platforms where this is preferred, for instance for the Kria SOM
  platform.

  This have been just fixed in flash-kernel 3.104ubuntu4 in impish (dev)
  (LP: #1931278), and we would like this ported back to hirsute/focal to
  support Kria SOM platform in focal.

  [Test Plan]

  For testing, a Kria SOM device is needed. By install flash-kernel with
  the fix, a file in path /boot/firmware/image.fit will be created, and
  the system should be able to boot.

  [Where problems could occur]

  The change adds new functionality which should not interfere with the
  previous one. However, there is some small potential for a regression
  happening. If that is the case, some hardware platforms that use
  flash-kernel might not be able to update the bootloader or will break
  it, making the system unable to boot.

  [Other Info]

  See LP: #1931278
