a few minor comments, but overall it is probably ok to reuse from QCL 1.x. However, we also talked about having a standalone project for building/maintaining such boot files. Given that all tools needed are OSS, we could host it on github. At Linaro we had that https://git.codelinaro.org/linaro/qcomlt/db-boot-tools which is where they maintain board specific partition config files, and generates all artefact needed (rawprogram files, ...). The main advantage to have them outside of QC Linux is that it becomes indepedent of the target distro. |

Yes, created #69 so we can track this separately. This layer should consume and produce all the final files required for a full flash, but we should maintain the files (partition.conf) and related data in a common repository, and have meta-qcom-hwe consume from it instead. |

Recipe based on kirkstone rev 3ac146c (qclinux 1.2), needed by qcom-partition-confs, which is the recipe responsible for generating the machine partition configuration. Signed-off-by: Ricardo Salveti <ricardo.salveti@oss.qualcomm.com>
Recipe based on kirkstone rev 3ac146c (qclinux 1.2), used to generate the machine specific partition binary files out of partition.xml. Patches also from qclinux 1.2, which should ideally just be proposed upstream instead, but discussion pending if the target repository should indeed be used as upstream.

Recipe based on kirkstone rev 3ac146c (qclinux 1.2), used to generate the machine specific partition.xml file which is later converted to binary with help from ptool.py. Partition confs for qcm6490 and qcs9100 modified to remove persist and overlay, and instead use a larger system/rootfs partition, since that should really be a distro decision and not a BSP one.

Add qcom-gen-partition-bins to EXTRA_IMAGEDEPENDS in order to build and deploy all the machine specific partition binaries which are required for flashing the device. Signed-off-by: Ricardo Salveti <ricardo.salveti@oss.qualcomm.com>

Forward port from kirkstone (qclinux 1.2) the recipes required for generating machine specific partitioning files.
This is enough to have a working partition.xml and respective rawprogram/patch .xml files.
