[U-Boot] question about add new board to MAKEALL

["Xiangfu Liu(刘向富)"]

Hi all.

I am try to add new board to "MAKEALL" here[1] is the patch.
but "MAKEALL" doesn't compile the new board qi_lb60.
here[2] is the tail of compile log

this board is base on next branch commit: 953b7e629198fe2eb0adf272fb9140f2a4a51826

I am sure that when I use mipsel-openwrt-linux-, the qi_lb60 compile fine.
did I need add the "mipsel-openwrt-linux-" to MAKEALL??

give me some advice? thanks.

MAKEALL is just a wrapper script that runs "make xxx_config" and "make
all" for you. It has zero impact on the actual compilation of your
board. If it doesn't work, then pothe problem is elsewhere.

No, never. Maybe you did not read the documentation and forgot to set
the CROSS_COMPILE environment variable?

These are all PowerPC boards - if your cross compiler is set for the
Power Architecture, you should not be surprised that it cannot compile
your MIPS code.

[U-Boot] question about add new board to MAKEALL

["Xiangfu Liu(刘向富)"]

Hi Wolfgang

thanks for reply.

before I apply the new board patches. the "MAKEALL" compile 359 boards.
after I applied the new board patches. the "MAKEALL" still compile 359 boards.
and the build log is the same. is that mean my patch is ok to send to mailist list??

if I am wrong just correct me :)

----
some git question:
I try to update my local [next] branch with upstream. but I got this error:
"fatal: Couldn't find remote ref next".

but I run the same command in [master] branch. works fine.
please give me some advice. very thanks.

Then you obviously missed to add your board to the MAKEALL script.

No, on contrary.

Try: "git checkout master; git remote prune origin"

> fatal: Couldn't find remote ref next

There is no "next" branch in the mainline repository at this point of
the release cycle.

[U-Boot] question about add new board to MAKEALL

[Xiangfu Liu]

Hi Wolfgang

is this patch[1] ok for "MAKEALL"?
or how to add my board "qi_lb60_config" to "MAKEALL"

I am just apply the patch_[1]. now it's making.
it need several hours for "MAKEALL" in my pc.
so I will got the build log several hours later.
but I would also ask in list for some advice.

thanks.

Well, did you try it out? And did it work for you?

It looks good, buty I cannot test it.

MIPS has only few targets - building should be much faster.  You may
try and find a faster machine, especially with faster storage and more
RAM?

I modify the patch to a new one[1], since this board use a new cpu
named "xburst".
this new patch works fine when I run "./MAKEALL mips_el" :)


(this company name is "Ingenic". their cpu name is
   xburst jz4740 #which is our board used :)
   xburst jz4760
just FYI.)

Well, we don't want to add lists for each and every CPU, especially
not for MIPS where we have only very few systems supported; which
family does xburst best fit in?

in there website[1], they don't mention MIPS at all, but I found this
in their head file:
	"MIPS 4Kc (32 bit RISC)"
and the gcc argument is
	"-march=4kc -mtune=4kc -EL -mabicalls -mips32"

here[2] is the new files for the jz4740 soc. give me some advice on this.
thanks.

please.
