I am an Engineer at Tensilica, Inc. working on RTOS team. My primary responsibility has been Xtensa GDB support. I've been an Xtensa GDB maintainer for more than Two years after I made an initial submission to FSF. Tensilica provides a GNU/Linux Xtensa support. That's why we've been using BUILDROOT for more than a year. Publicly accessible BUILDROOT git-tree with Xtensa support is available on xtensa-linux.org. Tensilica would like to become a part of BUILDROOT community. It's in our best interest to maintain Xtensa BUILDROOT and permanently contribute to both Xtensa-specific and generic parts of this open source project. I already tried to submit a generic update : http://lists.busybox.net/pipermail/buildroot/2009-February/026203.html Now, I would like to submit the BUILDROOT Xtensa support. Xtensa is a family of configurable and extensible processors, which have been on the IP market for quite some time now. For those of you who are interested, please, look at http://www.tensilica.com/ If you decide that Xtensa can be a valuable addition to BUILDROOT I will go ahead and submit a set of patches. I've attached the first patch. Description: Xtensa BUILDROOT uses a concept of source overlays, which are necessary because Xtensa processors are configurable and extensible. Xtensa tools, e.g. gcc, gdb, and binutils, use source overlays, which can not be substituted by the current BUILDROOT patching mechanism. This update makes patch-kernel.sh script capable of handling these overlays. Can BUILDROOT experts review the patch, please ? Thanks much for any of your help, Maxim Grigoriev Tensilica, Inc.
