linux: make vmlinux target available to all architectures

2011-11-14T15:20:53+00:00

The 'vmlinux' target in the linux build directory is a generic target. It may not be directly bootable for all architectures, but for projects where a custom bootloader is used, it can be of value. Previously, this target was only available for mips architectures. This patch removes this restriction.

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

2011-11-11T19:13:14+00:00

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

2011-10-25T06:17:10+00:00

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

2011-10-24T15:49:13+00:00

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

2011-09-29T21:09:58+00:00

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

2011-09-27T20:46:00+00:00

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
