RFC: U-Boot package clean up

RFC: U-Boot package clean up

[Philip Balister]

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 780 bytes --]

Currently we have a uboot directory and a uboot-utils directory in the 
metadata. I would like to consolidate these into one directory called 
u-boot (to match the source file naming convention).

At the same time, I would like to delete some old versions of u-boot bb 
files. I'd like to keep 1.1.6, 1.2.0, and the git bb files.

I created the LABEL.2006.06.30.2020 file for the omap5912osk machine, it 
is no longer needed as release version of u-boot support the hardware now.

Does anyone know about the other u-boot targets?

uboot-gta01_svn.bb
  u-boot-linkstationppc
  u-boot-linkstationppc_git.bb
  u-boot-mkimage-gta01-native_svn.bb
  uboot-qt2410_0.0+cvs20061030.bb
  uboot-utils_1.1.2.bb <- This is PR5 and the one in the uboot-utils is PR4

Hello, Guys,

I am using "bitbake opie-image" do OE compiling. But got lots of errors like
below. Someone suggested me add package "libqt4-dev", I added it, and in the
local.conf, my ASSUME_PROVIDED is set as ASSUME_PROVIDED += "libqt4-dev
qt4-native moc-native". But I still have these errors. Anyone has ideas?
Thanks!

The errors are:

These are recently added by me, for PPC-based linkstations:

I think I moved uboot-utils away from the uboot-utils directory and into 
u-boot. Either way, it's not quite done yet. I'll take a look at them and 
remove whichever one is "wrong".

I think uboot-utils belongs in the u-boot directory.

Can we modify u-boot.inc to create the u-boot-utils package internally?

Yes. The correct .bb is in the uboot-directory, but the patches in 
packages/uboot-utils/u-boot-1.2.0/ weren't moved at the same time. 
I'll move that first ;-)

IIRC, "make all" also builds the utils. This would be the best way to build 
the utils, instead of a separate u-boot-utils.bb. 

My strategy would be something like this:

Remove 1.1.2 and 1.1.4 (unless someone uses them, of course)

Move as much common stuff into u-boot.inc as possible.

Add u-boot-utils as a sub-package of u-boot. 

What do you think about that?

That will break for the openmoko uboot, since that doesn't build as arm/EABI,
but I do need mkimage to build the kernel.

uboot-utils still exists as a separate package. I would like to see us 
move toward the mininmum number of packages needed to support everyone. 
Sometimes, it is a little to easy to add another bb file than to work 
out a unified solution. (I am certainly guilty of this)

Go easy on us, we aren't the A-team, but we are trying to make things 
better for all :)

We are using u-boot 1.1.4 on our devices.  So if it's not too much hassle I
vote for keeping that version.  Not that it's difficult to build it
seperately but building an image with a different version than is used to
boot it could lead to problems, couldn't it?

I would vote for keeping 1.1.4 as well, it seems to be still quite popular.

dht-walnut is also using 1.1.4 so here is another vote to stay

Re: RFC: U-Boot package clean up

[Stelios Koroneos]

An update on that.

I have added a new powerpc machine (actually its for 2 boards) that is using
uboot 1.1.2 as the bootloader
I have contacted the board makers if they plan to switch to a newer version
of uboot but the reply was that there was no time to do it at this stage.
So i would suggest to keep 1.1.2 also.
I hope to find some free time and patch a more recent uboot for the specific
the boards but currently i have no firm timetable on that
