udev: bump to 181 and other fixes

2012-02-08T20:56:47+00:00

Changes: - Linux kernel requirement: 2.6.34 and above (devtmpfs is mandatory) (this also applies to the chosen toolchain, because of Kernel headers) - optional dependency on libusb and usbutils removed - added dependency on kmod - added dependency on util-linux for libblkid - install in /lib/udev instead of /usr/libexec/udev - udevd moved to /lib/udev - fixed path to pci.ids and usb.ids - persistent rules generator is disabled by default, so option is introduced to enable this option if desired [Peter: fix build on uClibc, Config.in tweaks] Signed-off-by: Yegor Yefremov Signed-off-by: Arnout Vandecappelle (Essensium/Mind) Signed-off-by: Peter Korsgaard

Migrate Xenomai to the new infrastructure

2012-02-01T22:05:18+00:00

Xenomai used to have commented out devices to be created in the device table that the user had to uncomment. Use the new infrastructure to do just that. Signed-off-by: Maxime Ripard Acked-by: Thomas De Schampheleire Signed-off-by: Peter Korsgaard

Convert busybox to the device declaration method

2012-02-01T22:04:49+00:00

Busybox used to declare and create files even if the package was not enabled through the device table. Remove the entries for busybox in the device table and move them to the package declaration.

toolchain: add powerpc SPE ABI support

2012-01-07T19:46:11+00:00

Add the ability for buildroot to build an SPE ABI enabled toolchain. This is mandatory for e500v1/v2 cores since they don't support classic FPU mode as the e500mc does. Useful for Freescale's PowerQUICC III and single/dual-core QorIQ line of processors. The new TARGET_ABI variable is used rather than TARGET_CFLAGS for uclibc's UCLIBC_EXTRA_CFLAGS to avoid breakish CFLAGS leaking in, a good example being -mthumb for ARM.

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
