linux: add linux-update-config and linux-update-defconfig targets

2011-11-11T19:13:14Z

In analogy to build targets uclibc-update and busybox-update, add extra targets to copy the current configuration to the custom configuration file set in buildroot. These targets facilitate the work of developers adding support for a specific board. linux-update-config copies .config directly. linux-update-defconfig first creates a defconfig and copies that.

linux: vmlinux target is valid for powerpc too

2011-10-25T06:17:10Z

The vmlinux kernel target is valid for powerpc kernels too. In fact this broke the qemu sample config. Signed-off-by: Gustavo Zacarias Signed-off-by: Peter Korsgaard

linux: bump default kernel to version 3.1

2011-10-24T15:49:13Z

Bump default kernel vesion to 3.1 to match headers. Also implement downloads for 3.x series kernels. Signed-off-by: Gustavo Zacarias Signed-off-by: Peter Korsgaard

package: remove useless arguments from GENTARGETS

2011-09-29T21:09:58Z

Thanks to the pkgparentdir and pkgname functions, we can rewrite the GENTARGETS macro in a way that avoids the need for each package to repeat its name and the directory in which it is present. [Peter: pkgdir->pkgparentdir] Signed-off-by: Thomas Petazzoni Signed-off-by: Peter Korsgaard

fs/initramfs: refactor with fs/cpio

2011-09-27T20:46:00Z

An initramfs is in fact the same as a cpio archive, but embedded in the kernel. So instead of duplicating the cpio infrastructure, we can simply build images/rootfs.cpio and link that into the kernel. Signed-off-by: Arnout Vandecappelle (Essensium/Mind) Signed-off-by: Peter Korsgaard

rtai: fix path to apply-patches

rtai, xenomai: use the pre patch hook point

2011-09-20T20:18:16Z

The post extract hook point is not really correct as what RTAI and Xenomai extensions are doing is patching the kernel. The post patch hook point doesn't work, because RTAI and Xenomai patches would be applied *after* all other patches, while it sounds more logical to apply them first, and *then* allow the user to apply some platform/board specific patches if needed.

Add xenomai real-time Framework to buildroot

2011-09-18T20:59:44Z

[Fixes by Thomas, including comments from Arnout: * Use AUTOTARGETS instead of GENTARGETS * Use $(KERNEL_ARCH) instead of $(BR2_ARCH) as argument to the prepare-kernel.sh script. This allows the arch name to be fixed with the usual sed expressions and the quotes to be stripped. * Add the --verbose option to prepare-kernel.sh. This allows to get some clear error message when no Xenomai patch has been found for the current kernel version. * Improve the help texts as suggested by Arnout, and remove the now useless README file. * Add a BR2_PACKAGE_XENOMAI_SMP option, instead of poking inside the kernel configuration to find out whether SMP is enabled or not. This cannot work because: 1) the kernel might be built outside of Buildroot and 2) if the kernel is built inside Buildroot, it is built *after* Xenomai, so the kernel configuration file is typically not yet present. * Simplify the ARM subarchitecture selection as suggested by Arnout. * Remove the documentation and development files according to Buildroot standards (using BR2_HAVE_DOCUMENTATION and BR2_HAVE_DEVFILES). * Simplify the /etc/ld.so.conf modification logic. ] [Peter: whitespace fixes] Signed-off-by: Benoit Mauduit Signed-off-by: Thomas De Schampheleire Signed-off-by: Thomas Petazzoni Signed-off-by: Peter Korsgaard
