PATCH 1/1 socfpga-cyclone5 Dev board support

This is somewhat derived from the SocKit booard support.

It uses a fresher Linux and u-boot than SocKit. It also speeds the serial port up to 115200.

Hi Charles,

Sorry for the late response - better late than never :).

Basically, it looks good to me, so

Since it is a single file, -a is a bit weird. And personally I'd make it an
ln -f instead, but that's a matter of taste.

Maybe it's better to copy at least part of the text from that readme, because
not all of it applies (e.g. the U-Boot patch).

If you repost, could you try with rel_socfpga-3.16_14.09.02 ? That would of
course also mean updating the kernel headers version.

PATCH v2 1/1 configs: add altera_socdk_defconfig for Altera Cyclone 5 Development Board

In reply to Charles Manning

From: Charles Manning <[email protected]>

This is largely the same as altera_sockit_defconfig.

It uses a fresher Linux and u-boot than SocKit. It also speeds the serial port up to 115200.

The post-image script is generalized by adding BR2_ROOTFS_POST_SCRIPT_ARGS and moving it up the altera directory. Similarly, the readme is moved up and made more generic.

v2: [Arnout] refactored with sockit, renamed to socdk (both are
cyclone5 so that name was not distinguishing).

Build-tested that both defconfigs still work.

In an earlier review I requested to update to a more recent kernel and bootloader. I did not do that here, since I can't test it myself.
