+Dependencies on a Linux kernel built by buildroot
|
|
|
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
|
|
|
+Some packages need a Linux kernel to be built by buildroot. These are
|
|
|
+typically kernel modules or firmware. A comment should be added in the
|
|
|
+Config.in file to express this dependency, similar to dependencies on
|
|
|
+toolchain options. The general format is:
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+--------------------------
|
|
|
+foo needs a Linux kernel to be built
|
|
|
+--------------------------
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+If there is a dependency on both toolchain options and the Linux
|
|
|
+kernel, use this format:
|
|
|
+--------------------------
|
|
|
+foo needs a toolchain w/ featA, featB, featC and a Linux kernel to be built
|
|
|
+--------------------------
