Host: Mandriva Linux 32bit
Target: arm_generic
Summary: compiling Linux 2.30.2 for ARM with Atmel support
Product: buildroot
Version: unspecified
Platform: PC
OS/Version: Linux
Status: NEW
Severity: major
Priority: P2
Component: Outdated package
AssignedTo: unassigned at buildroot.uclibc.org
ReportedBy: oduclos at mandriva.com
CC: buildroot at uclibc.org

I tried to compile Linux 2.30.2 for ARM with the Atmel devices support but it failed.
The patch "linux-2.6.28-at91.patch.bz2" only works with linux 2.6.28 and should not be used with other kernels.

--- Comment #1 from Thomas Petazzoni <[email protected]> 2009-08-11 19:45:20 UTC --- I'm not sure how to handle this bug. For sure, a patch designed to be applied
on a particular kernel version will only apply on this particular version. And
it seems that in Buildroot, Atmel patches are only available up to 2.6.28.
Which means that newer kernels have not been integrated yet. What behaviour
would you expect from Buildroot here ?
I'm assigning the bug to Ulf Samuelsson, who usually handle Atmel-specific issues in Buildroot.

Resolution| |FIXED--- Comment #2 from Ulf Samuelsson <[email protected]> 2009-08-11 21:10:37 UTC --- You need to check my personal git, where there is support for:
linux-2.6.30.2
u-boot-2009.08-rc1
at91bootstrap-2.12 (soon 2.13-rc1)
Bootstrap compiles on all supported boards. Only loaded to a SAM9263EK booting from dataflash.
U_boot has been compiled on the SAM9263/SAM9G10/SAM9G45, but only loaded to a SAM9263EK
Linux has been compiled for SAM9263/SAM9G10/SAM9G45, but again only loaded to a SAM9263.
After some hassle I have gotten mplayer to play mp3 files and I can also display jpeg pictures, although the BGR LCD controller is not supported. (mplayer assumes RGB)
I have added all the patches I have found on the linux arm mailing list, except the MCI patches, but I hope to add them later.
It obviously needs more testing, but thats why we are working in a collaborative project, right.
Personal gits are available at http://git.buildroot.net/
The git in question is:

--- Comment #3 from Olivier Duclos <[email protected]> 2009-08-12 10:26:41 UTC --- Thanks. Will the content of this it repo be included in the next stable release ?
If you ask, I think buildroot should at least print an error message when detecting such incompatibilities.
I've been waisting a lot of time these past few days trying to generate an image as I want, but there are so much of bugs and incompatibilities !

You can apply any patchset you want, the config is just an easy short cut.
When you try to build a non-working patch, you will get your error message during the patch process.
You should expect the patch to work for the kernel version it was designed for.
You do have the freedom to test the patch on a later kernel, and for a range of kernels it will work, but don't expect a patchset to work for all future versions.
If you want to use a patchset, on a later kernel than what is supported, then you have to manually adapt the patches to your desired kernel and then use the custom patch feature.
