[Buildroot] [RFC 0/2] add a minimal genimage support

[Buildroot] [RFC 0/2] add a minimal genimage support

[Vivien Didelot]

This patchset adds a minimal support for genimage config files, to ease the
generation of custom complete target images.

The first patch explains the convenience of this host tool, and adds the
mechanism to wrap and call genimage against optional config file(s).

The second patch uses the Raspberry Pi as an example for genimage. This shows
how Buildroot can be used to create a fully functional SD card image with a
persistent rootfs, without the need to mount any partition.

[Buildroot] [RFC 1/2] Makefile: add target-genimage

[Vivien Didelot]

genimage is a convenient host tool which eases the generation of images
and partition layout by providing simple configuration files.

This patch adds a new BR2_ROOTFS_GENIMAGE_CFG menuconfig entry, which is
a space-separated list of config files. Indeed, you may want to split
images in different files, or put them all together in the same file.

BR2_ROOTFS_GENIMAGE_HOST_DEPENDENCIES is meant to auto-select the
packages that genimage may use, such as mkdosfs or mcopy (which copies
files from/to unmounted vfat images).

The rational behind adding this to Buildroot is that genimage requires
an overhead configuration to use it, like temporary directories, host
dependencies, and images path, that Buildroot is all aware of. This
minimal addition is optional and allows the user not to write the same
post-image script to wrap the genimage call.

Finally, the new "target-genimage" make target is called before
target-post-image so that the post-image script can still clean
intermediate generated images and do whatever with the very final image.

I don't think the final $(sep) is needed, since this the last line of
a makefile target, as opposed to, say. a template.

Are you sure? I'm not sure either but I tried to follow the other foreach 
statements.

Thanks for the nitpicks. Other than that, an feedback on the overall RFC?

Ah, so sorry, I missed the fact that it was a foreach.  Comment retracted!

Dear Vivien,


looks good so far, and it fits well into my workflow, thanks for your
contribution.
Unfortunately the out-of tree build is broken with this version,
please see inline in your patch my comment.
I would propose to resend this patch with the fixed typos and the fix
for the out-of-tree build.

[Buildroot] [RFC 2/2] boards/raspberrypi: add a sample genimage config

[Vivien Didelot]

This patch adds a "persistent.cfg" genimage config file for the
Raspberry Pi, to use with a persistent rootfs. The final generated
"sdcard.img" image is ready to use and contains the setup explained in
the board readme.txt file: a bootable vfat partition with the
rpi-firmware files, and an ext4 rootfs partition.

The defconfig and readme file have been slightly changed to add the
generation of the rootfs.ext4 filesystem.
