Bug ID: 13281
Summary: Raspberry Pi 2: overlays folder missing in
genimage-raspberrypi2.cfg
Product: buildroot
Version: 2020.08.1
Hardware: All
OS: Linux
Status: NEW
Severity: blocker
Priority: P5
Component: Other
Assignee: unassigned at buildroot.uclibc.org
Reporter: info at hifiberry.com
CC: buildroot at uclibc.org
Target Milestone: ---

When using the Raspberry Pi 2 configuration, no overlays will be copied to the FAT partition.

The line

"rpi-firmware/overlays",

seems to be missing in board/raspberrypi2/genimage-raspberrypi2.cfg while it exists in the other Raspberry Pi configurations

--- Comment #1 from Peter Seiderer <[email protected]> --- Sorry, it is by design (note the line '# BR2_PACKAGE_RPI_FIRMWARE_INSTALL_DTB_OVERLAYS is not set' in configs/raspberrypi2_defconfig)...

Long answer:

The buildroot defconfigs are about a minimal starting point for own development, minimal means board startup and at least a serial login, in the case of RPi2 no device tree overlays needed to achieve this, so config option RPI_FIRMWARE_INSTALL_DTB_OVERLAYS disabled and no entry in the genimage config file...

For your own/enhanced project feel free to adjust as needed (and the genimage config is for sure a minor part of it)...
