<ul></ul><p>What about adding an integer "REQUIRES_BLOBS" kconfig option that can be set in chipsets or boards that have blobby requirements.<br>
0 = No blobs required<br>
1 = Builds with no blobs, but requires blobs that are not in the blob repo to boot<br>
2 = Requires blobs in the blobs repo to build</p>
<p>This can help us do a few things:<br>
A) We can add text saying "Now BLOB Free!" to blobless boards when they boot<br>
B) We can easily identify all of the blob-free boards in abuild, and publish those binaries if desired.<br>
D) We can easily error out if the the board requires blobs but is being built without the blobs repo.</p>
