[Buildroot] [U-Boot] Craneboard with Uboot and xloader

[Thomas Petazzoni <thomas.petazzoni@free-electrons.com>]

Hello,

Please do not cross-post this to the U-Boot mailing list, it has no
relation at all to U-Boot.

Please report specific problems and not things like "nothing works".

Buildroot is only very loosely related to the kernel version. Buildroot
simply downloads the kernel source code, extracts it, applies the
configuration you have choosen and builds it. This procedure is
completely independent of the kernel version.

So, most likely, if one kernel version works and another doesn't work,
it's not Buildroot's fault, but rather the kernel itself that has
issues with your particular hardware platform.

Again, please report specific problems, like:

 I am using Buildroot 2012.02 with the configuration file visible at
 (put here some URL of pastebin with your Buildroot configuration) and
 I'm having the following problem: ...
