[U-Boot] "make menuconfig" does not work

[U-Boot] "make menuconfig" does not work

[hong zhang]

List,

"make menuconfig" does not work for u-boot under panadaboard.
Old mailing list said because of no Kconfig in u-boot tree.
Any plan to add Kconfig or any other way to configure u-boot?

Thanks for any help!

Correct - new mailing list says the same thing ;)

Not that I am aware of, but I would support anyone who submitted
patches to add Kconfig support

(it would be great to get U-Boot added to buildroot as well - One
build for bootloader + kernel + root filesystem :)

Graeme

Buildroot?  Isn't this kind of a dead horse now?  I thought everybody
is using Yocto now...

Well buildroot is far from dead. And I've never really had a good look at Yocto

Since the last 3 years, the project has seen an increasing activity,
and has been almost entirely rewritten. We are doing stable releases
every 3 months, are doing a lot more quality testing than we have been
doing in the past. We have given talks at the latests ELC, ELCE and
FOSDEM.

So, definitely it's not a dead project. It however doesn't fit the same
segment as Yocto: Yocto is an embedded distribution generator, while
Buildroot is just a root filesystem + kernel + bootloader image
generator. Buildroot is much, much simpler to use and set up, but also
offers less flexibility than Yocto.

Best regards,

Thomas

That's already the case, since a looong time.

 make menuconfig
  -> Bootloaders
   -> U-Boot

We even have support for a few first stage bootloaders: at the moment
AT91Bootstrap, first stage for LPC32xx, X-Loader, and we are interested
in adding more when needed.
