Cover letter [Buildroot] [PATCH v1 0/2] Make Buildroot for Zedboard independent on Xilinx tools
Quoted 14 lines · Jan Viktorin

From: Jan Viktorin <[email protected]>

Dear Thomas,

thank you for the review. I've made the changes accordingly.

I've created host-zynq-boot-bin package to cover the small python script. It downloads U-Boot xilinx-v2015.1 from Xilinx github for this purpose (quite an overkill, isn't it...).

There are now just 2 patches of U-Boot 2015.07. 0001 adds calling of the zynq-boot-bin.py and 0002 fixes the default U-Boot environment to boot out-of-the-box from SD card.

Quoted 6 lines

There is still one thing to solve (I wasn't sure how). There is no dependency specified between U-Boot and the host-zynq-boot-bin package. It should be probably conditional but what kind of condition to write there? Should we use it for every Zynq architecture? (Is it possible to detect it by Buildroot?)

You can revert the two packages: make host-zynq-boot-bin depend on uboot, and
move the call to the python script to the host-zynq-boot-bin package. One less patch for uboot :-)

Regards,
Arnout
