Add support for appended device tree blobs for arm

2012-07-31T21:08:28+00:00

This patch adds support for the ARM-only appended device tree mechanism present in the kernel. This option allows to add at the end of the kernel image the device tree blob so that we can still boot device tree enabled kernels with old bootloaders. This patch also adds the needed logic to genereate such an image when building zImages or uImages, also adding the necessary parts to rebuild the uImage.

Factorize the u-boot images code

2012-07-31T21:08:28+00:00

This patch introduces the BR2_LINUX_KERNEL_UBOOT_IMAGE boolean to factorize more code that will be shared in the next patches that introduces other uImage-like targets. Signed-off-by: Maxime Ripard Acked-by: Arnout Vandecappelle (Essensium/Mind) Signed-off-by: Thomas Petazzoni

Rework support for the device tree

2012-07-31T21:08:28+00:00

This patch introduces some support for device tree-enabled kernels. It replaces the former BR2_LINUX_KERNEL_DTS_FILE option that was microblaze-only, that was quite limited. This option was quite limited, first obviously because it was restricted to microblaze, but also because it targetted only external device tree source files, and allowed only to build simpleImages using the custom image name mechanism. This patch adds a much more generic one, that can work on basically every architecture that supports device tree. It allows to build both device tree source file that comes with the kernel source or to set the path to the device tree file to use so that one can use a custom device tree.

Revert "Microblaze: build kernel with device tree"

2012-07-31T21:08:28+00:00

This is way too specific to microblaze-only. Remove this support to introduce a more generic way to do support device tree kernels. This reverts commit aaed42d15643e0cb64c96fa400a6097a19d19ef4. Signed-off-by: Maxime Ripard Signed-off-by: Thomas Petazzoni
