tftp directory? Is that this ATMEL_COPY_TO thing? I don't recall that
ever being discussed on the list.

Lets just start by making things simple before adding all kinds of
extra stuff. Buildroot should imho just worry about building stuff and
putting it under binaries/<project>, and not install it somewhere for
tftp/nfs/whatever.

I don't agree. Having things under binaries/<project> is enough.

 Ulf> Yes and no,

Sorry, I still don't think this belongs in buildroot.
