This patch updates the Cubieboard2 board defconfig to use newer u-boot and linux versions, along with a few other improvements. The other improvements were mostly backported from the recent Orange Pi defconfig inclusion and are related to image generation. linux-sunxi.org was used as a reference for both linux and u-boot defconfig names. In detail: - Update linux to vanilla upstream -- currently 4.3.3 is the most up-to-date. Although it lacks some features present only in the linux-sunxi 3.4 branch, upstream support appears to be relatively mature and is already being deployed by default by distributions such as Arch Linux ARM. - Update u-boot to vanilla upstream 2015.10. According to linux-sunxi.org, upstream fully supports major functions (except NAND) since 2015.07. - Change image format to zImage and drop custom image generation script in favour of genimage, as pointed out by reviewers in the Orange Pi defconfig submission. This was tested in a Cubieboard2 board with boot from mmc and it boots fine to login prompt. This has not been tested in a Cubieboard (A10) as I don't own any; the version bumps probably apply to it although there are some differences (lack of VFPv4 support, Cortex-A8 instead of Cortex-A7), so I have kept the current Cubieboard defconfig and its scripts. This one has been only build-tested. Signed-off-by: Erico Nunes <nunes.erico@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Thomas Petazzoni <thomas.petazzoni@free-electrons.com> |

Buildroot is a simple, efficient and easy-to-use tool to generate embedded Linux systems through cross-compilation. The documentation can be found in docs/manual. You can generate a text document with 'make manual-text' and read output/docs/manual/manual.text. Online documentation can be found at http://buildroot.org/docs.html To build and use the buildroot stuff, do the following: 1) run 'make menuconfig' 2) select the target architecture and the packages you wish to compile 3) run 'make' 4) wait while it compiles 5) find the kernel, bootloader, root filesystem, etc. in output/images You do not need to be root to build or run buildroot. Have fun! Buildroot comes with a basic configuration for a number of boards. Run 'make list-defconfigs' to view the list of provided configurations. Please feed suggestions, bug reports, insults, and bribes back to the buildroot mailing list: buildroot@buildroot.org You can also find us on #buildroot on Freenode IRC.
