[U-Boot] Using old Config Style

[U-Boot] Using old Config Style

[Mario Albrecht]

Hi,

i have a small question about using old board specific config files.
I have a config file for a board which contains all needed commands
defined by #define CONFIG_CMD_ and #undef CONFIG_CMD_.
In new u-boot Version a autoconf.h file is generated which conflicts
the defines in the board.h file. How can I disable autoconf.h generation
or get the right commands in this file.

Regards Mario

hi mario,

have a look for example in configs/tseries_mmc_defconfig.

Basically some commands are defined through Kconfig as 'default on' 
other with 'default off'.

# CONFIG_CMD_FPGA is not set
CONFIG_CMD_GPIO=y

in this example the CMD_FPGA is default on and set through my defconfig 
to OFF.
At the other hand CMD_GPIO is per default off and set through defconfig 
to ON.

To generate some xxx_defconfig file you may config your u-boot simply 
with "make menuconfig" and afterwards "make savedefconfig".
This will generate a "defconfig" File in your build-output folder, from 
there you can merge this with your xxx_defconfig file.

regards,
Hannes
