It works fine for me. I built mx7dsabresd_defconfig with mainline U-boot and after that I see: ls board/freescale/mx7dsabresd/ built-in.o imximage.cfg.cfgtmp MAINTAINERS mx7dsabresd.c mx7dsabresd.o imximage.cfg Kconfig Makefile mx7dsabresd.su Then after a 'make clean' ls board/freescale/mx7dsabresd/ imximage.cfg Kconfig MAINTAINERS Makefile mx7dsabresd.c ,which worked as expected. ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 6+ messages in thread

In a U-Boot 2015.07 build I've got, the other files I see in include/generated seem like they have been derived from the "make <my-board>_config". So, your work seems to me to be compatible with the way things work more recently (I shouldn't be considered an authority on this). I can't speak to what "rules" might say about it. I can't find any documented, which seems pretty much like "there are no rules" :) > > best regards, > J?rg > > > p.s. > just a thought: > maybe the reason for "make clean" ignoring the board-specific directories > is to make it functional > without the need to have a valid configuration at hand? > (in other words: "make all" requires a "make xyz_config" before - "make > clean/distclean/mrproper" does not) This is an excellent observation, thanks. I'd guess it means that if changes are ever made so "make clean" visits board directories, those changes will have be tolerant of there being no configuration established.
