Add xenomai real-time Framework to buildroot

2011-09-18T20:59:44+00:00

[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

uClibc: drop BR2_PROGRAM_INVOCATION option

2011-07-27T09:56:53+00:00

Remove the BR option and enable the configuration setting in the uClibc defconfigs. The BR2_PROGRAM_INVOCATION option only adds very little overhead to uClibc, and we have a number of packages needing it, so simply always enable it - Simplifying the kconfig logic and the number of choices users have to make.

System config: split static-dev device table setting into seperate option

2011-07-24T22:09:33+00:00

As discussed here: http://lists.busybox.net/pipermail/buildroot/2011-May/043251.html Add BR2_ROOTFS_STATIC_DEVICE_TABLE for the extra device table file(s) to create device nodes in /dev, rather than complicated logic in BR2_ROOTFS_DEVICE_TABLE, making it complicated to move between static and dynamic modes.

sh: Fix Buildroot sh targets to match gnuconfig targets

2011-07-18T21:26:12+00:00

sh2eb and sh2a_nofpueb gnuconfig targets are no longer supported in Buildroot. This patch replaces these Buildroot targets with sh2 and sh2a respectively, and adds sh4a targets as these are widely used. To build for devices without an fpu, the relevant toolchain flags will have to be specified. Signed-off-by: Phil Edworthy Acked-by: Thomas Petazzoni Signed-off-by: Peter Korsgaard

target: default to i586 for x86

2011-07-05T07:23:46+00:00

The i586 was introduced almost 20 years ago, and some software (NPTL, libstdc++, ..) doesn't work nicely with i386 anymore, so it is time to move on. Signed-off-by: Peter Korsgaard

Move rootfs content options under system configuration

2011-05-12T21:40:05+00:00

Instead of the current mix between system config and filesystem menus. At the same time rename 'Target filesystem options' menu to 'Filesystem images' as it now only contains options about image formats. Signed-off-by: Peter Korsgaard

target/generic: only show getty port option if default skeleton is used

2011-05-12T15:21:06+00:00

The special marker in etc/inittab might not be present with a custom skeleton. At the same time make the option always active, remove the hardcoded tty1/tty2 gettys and reword the option description slightly. Signed-off-by: Peter Korsgaard

Allow several device tables and split in two parts our device table

2011-05-09T14:52:22+00:00

This allows to have a device table for all directories/files and another device table for the device files themselves. Both are needed for static /dev, but only the first one is needed when devtmpfs/mdev/udev are used. We take this opportunity to move the documentation of the device table format in a common location, package/makedevs/README.
