Hello,

This is the second posting of this patch set that allows some host utilities to be visible in menuconfig, when those host utilities are not simply build dependencies, but might also be directly interesting for the user (image creation utilities, device programming utilities, etc.).

A first posting was done on October, 1st 2011, and the general idea and implementation received positive comments from Luca Ceresoli and Thomas De Schampheleire.

Changes since v1:

* Fix a commit log, as per the comment from Luca Ceresoli

* Add the SAM-BA utility from Atmel as another host utility. This tool can be used from the development machine to reflash a virgin AT91-based device, through USB or serial.

Regards,

Thomas

The following changes since commit ef3fe1bef6581c66af3858d540343e011cb9fdd6:

cdrkit: bump to version 1.1.11 and adjust style (2011-12-21 23:02:31 +0100)

are available in the git repository at:

PATCH 1/7 Add basic config infrastructure for host utilities

Most of the host packages don't have to be exposed to the user as they are only used as build dependencies of target packages.

However, some host utilities, such as flashing utilities, image creation programs, specific debuggers, might be useful and should be presented to the user.

Therefore, we have a new global menu, which lists those host utilities. These utilities are described in package/*/Config.in.host files, which will be sourced by package/Config.in.host.

Correct, thanks! I fixed it (and for sam-ba as well), and pushed a new version on my public repository. I'll wait for other comments (if any) before sending a new v3, unless Peter pulls the branch in the mean time.

Thanks!

Buildroot is missing post-image scripting in general. You will typically
want to package the kernel and rootfs in a compressed and signed image that can be distributed and installed on the target. Or during development, you would like to untar it to the nfsroot.

For one project, I have added a post-image script hook, like we have for post-build. I've used it to generate a firmware image in a special format, bundling the kernel image and the root filesystem image.

Does it make sense to submit such a feature?

It most certainly does.

Myself, I have already created six scripts like that... So I guess I'm
better placed to refactor some commonalities out of them :-) Now if I only had the time to do it... (I'm still catching up on the buildroot mailing list of end of December...)
