-=== Creating your own board support
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Creating your own board support in Buildroot allows users of a
|
|
|
-particular hardware platform to easily build a system that is known to
|
|
|
-work.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-To do so, you need to create a normal Buildroot configuration that
|
|
|
-builds a basic system for the hardware: toolchain, kernel, bootloader,
|
|
|
-filesystem and a simple BusyBox-only userspace. No specific package
|
|
|
-should be selected: the configuration should be as minimal as
|
|
|
-possible, and should only build a working basic BusyBox system for the
|
|
|
-target platform. You can of course use more complicated configurations
|
|
|
-for your internal projects, but the Buildroot project will only
|
|
|
-integrate basic board configurations. This is because package
|
|
|
-selections are highly application-specific.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Once you have a known working configuration, run +make
|
|
|
-savedefconfig+. This will generate a minimal +defconfig+ file at the
|
|
|
-root of the Buildroot source tree. Move this file into the +configs/+
|
|
|
-directory, and rename it +<boardname>_defconfig+.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-It is recommended to use as much as possible upstream versions of the
|
|
|
-Linux kernel and bootloaders, and to use as much as possible default
|
|
|
-kernel and bootloader configurations. If they are incorrect for your
|
|
|
-board, or no default exists, we encourage you to send fixes to the
|
|
|
-corresponding upstream projects.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-However, in the mean time, you may want to store kernel or bootloader
|
|
|
-configuration or patches specific to your target platform. To do so,
|
|
|
-create a directory +board/<manufacturer>+ and a subdirectory
|
|
|
-+board/<manufacturer>/<boardname>+. You can then store your patches
|
|
|
-and configurations in these directories, and reference them from the main
|
|
|
-Buildroot configuration.
