            Bug ID: 13281
           Summary: Raspberry Pi 2: overlays folder missing in
                    genimage-raspberrypi2.cfg
           Product: buildroot
           Version: 2020.08.1
          Hardware: All
                OS: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: blocker
          Priority: P5
         Component: Other
          Assignee: unassigned at buildroot.uclibc.org
          Reporter: info at hifiberry.com
                CC: buildroot at uclibc.org
  Target Milestone: ---

When using the Raspberry Pi 2 configuration, no overlays will be copied to the
FAT partition.

The line 

  "rpi-firmware/overlays",

seems to be missing in board/raspberrypi2/genimage-raspberrypi2.cfg while it
exists in the other Raspberry Pi configurations

--- Comment #1 from Peter Seiderer <ps.report@gmx.net> ---
Sorry, it is by design (note the line '#
BR2_PACKAGE_RPI_FIRMWARE_INSTALL_DTB_OVERLAYS is not set' in
configs/raspberrypi2_defconfig)...

Long answer: 

The buildroot defconfigs are about a minimal starting point for own
development, minimal means board startup and at least a serial login, in the
case of RPi2 no device tree overlays needed to achieve this, so config option
RPI_FIRMWARE_INSTALL_DTB_OVERLAYS disabled and no entry in the genimage config
file...

For your own/enhanced project feel free to adjust as needed (and the genimage
config is for sure a minor part of it)...

While I don't agree with the decision, we can close this.
