Until now, the iso9660 filesystem handling only supported using an initrd/initramfs to store the root filesystem, which is very different from what we do with the other filesystems. This commit changes the iso9660 logic to also allow using directly an iso9660 filesystem to store the root filesystem. A new option, BR2_TARGET_ROOTFS_ISO9660_INITRD, is created to tell the iso9660 that we want to use an initrd and not directly the root filesystem in iso9660 format. This option defaults to 'y' to preserve the existing behavior. After this commit, we therefore have three possibilities: * BR2_TARGET_ROOTFS_ISO9660=y, with BR2_TARGET_ROOTFS_INITRAMFS and BR2_TARGET_ROOTFS_ISO9660_INITRD disabled. In this case, the iso9660 filesystem is directly the contents of the root filesystem (since is possible thanks to the Rockridge extensions that were already enabled using the -R option of genisoimage). Obviously, it means that the root filesystem is read-only. * BR2_TARGET_ROOTFS_ISO9660=y and BR2_TARGET_ROOTFS_INITRAMFS=y (the value of BR2_TARGET_ROOTFS_ISO9660_INITRD doesn't matter). In this case, the root filesystem is already linked into the kernel image itself, as an initramfs. So the iso9660 filesystem doesn't contain the root filesystem as is, but just the bootloader and the kernel image. * BR2_TARGET_ROOTFS_ISO9660=y, BR2_TARGET_ROOTFS_ISO9660_INITRD=y and BR2_TARGET_ROOTFS_INITRAMFS disabled. In this case, a separate initrd is used. The iso9660 filesystem only contains the bootloader, the kernel and the initrd. In order to support the first case out of the box, root=/dev/sr0 is added on the kernel command line in the example Grub configuration file, so that the kernel knows where the root filesystem is located. This argument is ignored when initrd/initramfs are used. Signed-off-by: Thomas Petazzoni <thomas.petazzoni@free-electrons.com> Reviewed-by: "Yann E. MORIN" <yann.morin.1998@free.fr> |

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.
