Hi Baruch,
I will reply separately to each point. First, regarding the boards/<vendor>/<board>/readme.txt file. Most of these readme.txt files are in fact English language pseudo-code for scripts to create boot media. They don't have any other important information. Rather than provide that type of lazy answer, I provided a complete working script. The difference between that type of lazy readme.txt and the script that I provided is about six hours of work * the number of people who use the script. That's a lot of time saved for humanity to work on more important things. The only thing missing from the script to be a readme is to tell the user to do "make .._defconfig" and "make", as written in the other readme.txts. But those are pretty lame instructions, since anyone who knows what "boards" directory is will already know this. AFAIK there is no formal requirement for a readme.txt in the sense that not having one would break some script. If that were the case I would add a readme.txt that just says "Read the make_sd_card.sh script". If you think that there is really some specific engineering information missing then I would reconsider.

In reply to Baruch SiachHi Baruch,
Regarding the scripting language for scripts under board/ and support/, I don't know that anyone has formally specified what scripting languages are supported, or specified that /bin/sh hashbangs must be tested with Bourne shell.
I suspect that some of those scripts might in fact not work if Bourne shell were invoked by /bin/sh.
The make_sd_card.sh script that I contributed has Bash-specific usages that might work in some versions of ash but would not work in Bourne, so I was carefull to specify the hashbang as /bin/bash.

In reply to Baruch SiachHi Baruch,
Regarding the use of the CC SA license, it seems to me that if there are packages using the MIT and BSD licenses in Buildroot then the CC AS license should be Ok also.
If you want to claim that there is a difference between packages that are downloaded and contributions that are part of Buildroot itself, then I would say that the difference between GPLv2 and CC SA for a Bash script - which is not compiled and cannot be linked against, is not significant.
I prefer to use the CC licenses, because they are simpler, clearer, and more appropriate to configuration files and scripts which are not compiled or linked against, and they avoid both the heavy RMS idealogical baggage and the legal confusions associated with the GPL licenses without any loss of rights to the public.

Is this license GPLv2 compatible?Regarding the use of the CC SA license, it seems to me that if there are packages using the MIT and BSD licenses in Buildroot then the CC AS license should be Ok also.
If you want to claim that there is a difference between packages that are downloaded and contributions that are part of Buildroot itself, then I would say that the difference between GPLv2 and CC SA for a Bash script - which is not compiled and cannot be linked against, is not significant.
Quoted 5 lines
I prefer to use the CC licenses, because they are simpler, clearer, and more appropriate to configuration files and scripts which are not compiled or linked against, and they avoid both the heavy RMS idealogical baggage and the legal confusions associated with the GPL licenses without any loss of rights to the public.
The fact that all of Buildroot code itself is released under GPLv2 should make life easier for downstream Buildroot distributors (and their legal departments).
Anyway, in case Buildroot maintainers agree to accept scripts under a different license, please add a patch to section 12.3 of the manual to clarify Buildroot license.

Hi Thomas,
Would a dual GPLv2, CC SA license be acceptable? If not, then I would at least like to have a notice of availability of the script under the CC SA license from a different source.

In reply to Baruch SiachHi Baruch,
I provided the board/solid-run/hummingboard-i2eX/make_sd_card.sh script rather than use the board/freescale/create-boot-sd.sh script for the following reasons.
1. make_sd_card.sh supports OOT builds. Also support parameters in environment variables or command line.
2. make_sd_card.sh handles the likely multipath problem that happen in newer distros when you change partitions on media.
3. Moved the error control to the begining of the script so that there is less chance of leaving a mounted filesystem or temporary mount point if some requried file is missing and the -e kicks in.
4. Provides cumulative error control and check for many more types of error. That is, doesn't stop at the first error but continues noting all errors possible to detect before actually making any changes.
5. Copy only the specific images required rather than using wildcards that can result in the wrong images being copied and can leave the newbie wondering why the SD doesn't boot.
6. Having a separate script takes into account the fact that we are using forked U-Boot repo whose bootcmd might change from the bootcmd in the upstream repo.

Hi Baruch,
Let's do the boot.scr solution for general i.MX6 separately. At this point I want to get out something conservative and timely for Solid-Run boards. I hope to have the CuBox-i defconfig ready on Wednesday.
I think that the unified boot/root partition solution should at least at first be committed in parallel with and not in place of the current create-boot-sd.sh so as not to upset anyone.
