avr32: Retire AVR32 for good

2017-07-06T20:17:19Z

AVR32 is gone. It's already more than two years for no support in Buildroot, even longer there is no support in GCC (last version is heavily patched 4.2.4). Linux kernel v4.12 got rid of it (and v4.11 didn't build successfully). There is no good point to keep this support in U-Boot either.

buildman: Allow showing the list of boards with -n

2017-02-08T13:12:16Z

As well as showing the number of boards, allow showing the actual list of boards that would be built, if -v is provided. Signed-off-by: Simon Glass

buildman: Update link to the most recent prebuilt ARC toolachin

2017-01-28T19:04:50Z

To troubleshoot unexpected bhavior during building and what's more important during execution it is strongly recommended to use recent ARC toolchain, and so we're now referring to arc-2016.09 which is the latest as of today. Signed-off-by: Alexey Brodkin Reviewed-by: Simon Glass

buildman: Squash useless output from -K

2016-12-02T17:37:47Z

When using #define CONFIG_SOME_OPTION, the value it set to '1'. When using defconfig (i.e. CONFIG_SOME_OPTION=y) the value is set to 'y'. This results in differences showing up with -K. These differences are seldom useful. Adjust buildman to suppress these differences by default. Signed-off-by: Simon Glass

buildman: Add documentation for CONFIG checking

2016-12-02T17:37:47Z

The -K option is not mentioned in the README at present. Add some notes to describe how this is used. Signed-off-by: Simon Glass

tools: buildman: Add compiler wrapper

2016-10-09T15:30:32Z

Now we can use compiler wrapper such as ccache or distcc for buildman. Signed-off-by: York Sun CC: Simon Glass Acked-by: Simon Glass

buildman: Add a quick-start note

2016-08-01T01:37:08Z

For those who just want to build a board, it is useful to see a quick hint right at the start of the documentation. Add a few commands showing how to download toolchains and build a board. Signed-off-by: Simon Glass

buildman: Tidy up the README a little

2016-08-01T01:37:08Z

Tidy up some problems found by a recent review. Signed-off-by: Simon Glass Reviewed-by: Tom Rini

buildman: allow more incremental building

2016-05-17T15:54:43Z

One use-case for buildman is to continually run it interactively after each small step in a large refactoring operation. This gives more immediate feedback than making a number of commits and then going back and testing them. For this to work well, buildman needs to be extremely fast. At present, a couple issues prevent it being as fast as it could be: 1) Each time buildman runs "make %_defconfig", it runs "make mrproper" first. This throws away all previous build results, requiring a from-scratch build. Optionally avoiding this would speed up the build, at the cost of potentially causing or missing some build issues. 2) A build tree is created per thread rather than per board. When a thread switches between building different boards, this often causes many files to be rebuilt due to changing config options. Using a separate build tree for each board would avoid this. This does put more strain on the system's disk cache, but it is worth it on my system at least. This commit adds two command-line options to implement the changes described above; -I ("--incremental") turns of "make mrproper" and -P ("--per-board-out-dir") creats a build directory per board rather than per thread. Tested: ./tools/buildman/buildman.py tegra ./tools/buildman/buildman.py -I -P tegra ./tools/buildman/buildman.py -b tegra_dev tegra ./tools/buildman/buildman.py -b tegra_dev -I -P tegra ... each once after deleting the buildman result/work directory, and once "incrementally" after a previous identical invocation.

buildman: Clarify the use of -V

This option outputs to the log file, not to the terminal. Clarify that in the help, and add a mention of it in the README. Signed-off-by: Simon Glass Reported-by: Stephen Warren Reviewed-by: Stephen Warren
