[PATCH v4 2/3] bcm63xx: build tplink images

Thu Dec 1 12:23:04 PST 2022


Add macros and a python script to build images compatible with tplink
CFE bootloaders.

Signed-off-by: Daniel González Cabanelas <dgcbueu at gmail.com>
---
Changes in v2:
 - factory image fixed. (cfe-tplink-crcfix.py doesn't work if CFE
   already prepended)
Changes in v3:
 - fixed name in temp files for prepending CFE to be safer.
Changes in v4:
 - no changes
