Hebbar> Hi,

Hebbar> Below patch provides Uboot version selection option to user.

Hebbar> Comments welcome.

This doesn't apply to trunk - Uboot is now at v1.3.2.

Why would you want a version selector here? Is something not working in 1.3.2?

Bye, Peter Korsgaard

There are probably a lot of U-boot versions out there which never made it to the main trunk, so people maintain their own patches. These might or might not apply to the latest trunc.

1.3.2?

Hi,

my custom board or in general if anyone's board uboot is not yet ported to latest version then they can select a previous most recent version. Same like gdb version. even latest is gdb 6.8 we have options starting at 6.4 in buildroot.

Hence i added this. Default is pointing to 1.3.1 just to make sure its works for all boards. This can be changed while committing

Hi,
Latest Gdb Version is Gdb 6.8 But we still have options starting at 6.4 in buildroot.

option provided to build GDB 6.4 only to support AVR32 option provided for versions that support nios2.

when bloats for atxx and avr32 can pushed all over buildroot, why cant a
general version support be provided which supports many others customized boards..

I think this is what is done for Busybox also. Even though Latest Busybox
version is 1.10.0 we still have few version options given going back to 1.7.x.
