Hi all!

Currently i'm in the task of adding support for our custom board to buildroot, hence my question:
Where is the right place to add it? As we're using a RM9200 CPU, it could be located below target/devices/Atmel, for the folders in target/devices look to me more like CPUI vendors, not board vendors. Or should it got to target/devices/our_company_name/our_board_name? But that would seem pretty oversized to me, for we're on really low production count, but i'd relly like to get things done right in the buildroot-way...

Thanks, Joe

A small info can help you to do it.

http://www.linux4sam.org/twiki/bin/view/Linux4SAM/BuildRoot

It's targeted for sam9 CPU, but the principle is the same. I'm in the same boat of you. We have received our new custom board with the rm9200 and try to get thing working in the right way.

Regards

Jonathan
