[Buildroot] Support for MPC_8323E-RDB Board

[Buildroot] Support for MPC_8323E-RDB Board

[Siva Prakash Reddy Nareddy]

Hi,
    I am interested in using Buildroot to build Kernel and RootFs for the
development board "MPC8323E-RDB". I tried to use buildroot as specified in
Buildroot User Manual, but I am getting issues in building images for my
board. Please, Help us in building kernel and rootfs images for the board
"MPC8323E-RDB".

The issues I am getting are as follows..

jyothi at jyothi:/home/buildroot-labs/buildroot$ sudo make menuconfig
configuration written to /home/buildroot-labs/buildroot/.config

*** End of the configuration.
*** Execute 'make' to start the build or try 'make help'.

jyothi at jyothi:/home/buildroot-labs/buildroot$ sudo make
boot/uboot/uboot.mk:295: *** No board defconfig name specified, check your
BR2_TARGET_UBOOT_DEFCONFIG setting.  Stop.
jyothi at jyothi:/home/buildroot-labs/buildroot$ sudo make menuconfig


*** End of the configuration.
*** Execute 'make' to start the build or try 'make help'.

Don't run Buildroot as root.

This means you have enabled the U-Boot bootloader, but you have not
defined which U-Boot configuration to build, so Buildroot cannot start
the build process.

This means you have enabled the Linux kernel, with Device Tree support,
but you haven't specified which Device Tree files you want to build.

Best regards,

Thomas

 We hoped that the error messages that are given by Buildroot would have been
clear enough to make Thomas's reply unnecessary. Apparently they are not. Can
you give a suggestion as to what we could change in the error message to clarify?

 Arnout
