Subject: [U-Boot] [PATCH v2] README: Add an example of adding a new board.
Date: Tue, 17 Nov 2009 07:09:44 -0500 (EST) [thread overview]
Message-ID: <alpine.LFD.2.00.0911170707400.7159@localhost> (raw)
Show the simple end result of adding an example board (BeagleBoard).
Signed-off-by: Robert P. J. Day <rpjday@crashcourse.ca>

based on dirk's earlier email, i'm emphasizing that this represents
only the *end result* of adding BeagleBoard support to U-Boot.
anything more involved than that wouldn't really belong in the README
and would more properly be described in, say, an ARM porting guide.

+A real-life example of adding a new board
+=========================================
+
+ As a working example of the end result of adding a new board,
+here's a list of files and directories that were added/changed to
+support the OMAP3-based BeagleBoard. Note that these changes don't
+represent *how* this board was added, they represent only the
+end result.
+
+ First, the new BeagleBoard-related files:
+
+ ./board/ti/beagle/
+ beagle.c
+ beagle.h
+ config.mk
+ Makefile
+ ./include/configs/omap3_beagle.h
+
+Followed by eventual changes to some existing files:
+
+ Makefile
+ ========
+
+ omap3_beagle_config : unconfig
+ @$(MKCONFIG) $(@:_config=) arm arm_cortexa8 beagle ti omap3
+
+ MAKEALL
+ =======
+
+ LIST_ARM_CORTEX_A8=" \
+ devkit8000 \
+ omap3_beagle \
+ omap3_overo \
+ ...
+
+ include/asm-arm/types.h
+ =======================
+
+ #ifdef CONFIG_MACH_OMAP3_BEAGLE
+ # ifdef machine_arch_type
+ # undef machine_arch_type
+ # define machine_arch_type __machine_arch_type
+ # else
+ # define machine_arch_type MACH_TYPE_OMAP3_BEAGLE
+ # endif
+ # define machine_is_omap3_beagle() (machine_arch_type == MACH_TYPE_OMAP3_BEAGLE)
+ #else
+ # define machine_is_omap3_beagle() (0)
+ #endif
+
+ doc/README.omap3
+ ================
+
+ Build
+ =====
+
+ * BeagleBoard:
+
+ make omap3_beagle_config
+ make
+
+ MAINTAINERS
