2010-06-12u-boot: re-add infrastructure to specify custom tarballThomas Petazzoni
The bootloader being very specific to the hardware, being able to build U-Boot from an arbitrary tarball available on the web might be needed. Therefore, for U-Boot, we provide two methods : * Get a given stable version from U-Boot official FTP server * Get an arbitrary tarball This should hopefully satisfy most needs, without complicating too much the U-Boot build procedure on Buildroot side.

2010-06-12u-boot: further simplify the configurationThomas Petazzoni
Remove all the bootsource selection mechanism and the horribly complicated BR2_TARGET_UBOOT_DEFAULT_ENV thing, which wanted to be generic, but was in fact very AT91-specific. Just keep things simple: we build U-Boot with the board configuration file specified in BR2_TARGET_UBOOT_BOARDNAME. Signed-off-by: Thomas Petazzoni <thomas.petazzoni@free-electrons.com>
2010-06-12u-boot: support building for mkimageThomas Petazzoni
To build mkimage for the host (which is needed to build an uImage of the kernel), it is not necessary to configure U-Boot, and therefore to have a particular board selected. Therefore, this commit: * Adds a verification at U-Boot configure step that a U-Boot board name has been defined * Sets a default U-Boot version if none has been specified, so that even when U-Boot isn't selected but we want to build mkimage for the host, a particular U-Boot version is picked. * Make the host mkimage target depend only on U-Boot being downloaded/extracted/patched, and the target mkimage/fw_printenv targets depend on U-Boot being fully configured.

2010-06-10u-boot: remove arch specific patches infrastructureThomas Petazzoni
A very complicated infrastructure for just a special case, for an ancient version of U-Boot. Recent versions of U-Boot are reported to work just fine on Atmel ARM evaluation boards. Signed-off-by: Thomas Petazzoni <thomas.petazzoni@free-electrons.com>
