Hello All!

Version 3 of this series regarding the support of the RaspberryPi board.

- libcofi :
- License added
- Fixes of the make option
- Fixes of the install
- rpi-userland :
- Added a patch from Floris Bos so the userland could compile with uClibc
- Added the dependency to BR2_INSTALL_LIBSTDCPP and BR2_LARGEFILE
- rpi-firmware :
- Getting rid of the cmdline.txt files
- Add the cmline in config.txt along with a comment encouraging the user to create its own config.txt
- Moving all results in BINARIES_DIR instead of TARGET_DIR

The following changes since commit 4ec970246547dce915aaeff8394a3b0303a205db:

sam-ba: select BR2_HOSTARCH_NEEDS_IA32_LIBS (2013-01-06 21:37:40 +0100)

It isn't really rpi specific either.

As the author of the package says, the library is used using LD_PRELOAD on the target.
So no patch should be needed for any packages.

I don't know about that, the author says it's rpi specific.

You're absolutely right, if someone as such a platform, it would be great to know if it works or not !

I actually don't know if you could do without it since the rpi only video output is the HDMI.
I'll have to check about that.

Presumably it isn't REALLY needed, right? Only if you want to use the GPU?

I actually don't know if you could do without it since the rpi only video output is the HDMI.
I'll have to check about that.

I am running one rpi headless, so I don't need the GPU-related userland on this rpi.

It is needed only if you plan on doing graphics, so it is not strictly /required/ per-se.

Regards,

Presumably it isn't REALLY needed, right? Only if you want to use the GPU?

I actually don't know if you could do without it since the rpi only video output is the HDMI.
I'll have to check about that.

I am running one rpi headless, so I don't need the GPU-related userland on this rpi.

It is needed only if you plan on doing graphics, so it is not strictly /required/ per-se.

You're totally right.

You can do fine without.
Normal unaccelerated framebuffer output does not require those userland libraries at all.

Only needed for applications that require GPU accelerated OpenGL ES, OpenMAX, OpenVG libraries, or if you want to play with HDMI CEC (using a normal TV remote as input device).

Yours sincerely,

Ohh, and you forgot the 'depends on BR2_arm' - I've added it.

Trailing spaces. I've changed it to buildroot.org to have a bit shorter URL and added a comment explaining that the config.txt format is described at http://elinux.org/RPiconfig

Committed with those changes, thanks.

It would be good to see a rpi_defconfig as well.
