Romain Naour 35eb74c634 configs/am574x_idk_defconfig: new defconfig
This patch adds a basic support for AM574x Industrial Development Kit
[1].

Use multi_v7_defconfig as kernel configuration file instead of
the deprecated omap2plus_defconfig [2].

The main differences between upstream kernels and the TI vendor tree
(5.10.x based) are:

  - pru based 100M ethernet ports will not work with upstream kernels
  since the prueth driver for AM57 is not upstream yet (as of 6.8-rc2)
  [3].

  - The ARM/DSP examples provided by TI [4] will not work either since
  they requires an experimental patch [5] adding "remote-processor
  messaging sockets".

  - There is no support for the POWERVR GPU SGX544 that requires
  additional userpace vendor (closed source) libraries.

Texas Instuments AM574x IDK Test and Development Board

Description
===========

This configuration will build a basic image for the TI AM574x IDK
board: https://www.ti.com/tool/TMDSIDK574

How to build it
===============

Configure Buildroot:

    $ make am574x_idk_defconfig

Compile everything and build the USB flash drive image:

    $ make

How to write the SD card
========================

Once the build process is finished you will have an image called "sdcard.img"
in the output/images/ directory.

Copy the bootable "sdcard.img" onto an SD card with "dd":

  $ sudo dd if=output/images/sdcard.img of=/dev/sdX
