[Buildroot] Problems building for Olimex A13. A new user enquires ...

[g4 at novadsp.com]

First off: Thanks for Buildroot. 

Second: Building on a Xubuntu 14.04 Virtual Box guest using Buildroot
2014-05-RC1

Thirdly: Please advise If there is a better place (to ask questions :))

I have set up a .config (attached if this helps) which builds quite happily
from scratch until the board specific u-boot. The u-boot URL has been
changed to https://github.com/linux-sunxi/u-boot-sunxi.git.

This is possibly a slightly odd combination as I'm trying to build using a
board-specific u-boot with the mainline kernel sources (3.14.4). 

The symptoms of the problem are below. I note this:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/17216067/git-clone-b-tag-results-in-warni
ng-remote-branch-not-found-in-upstream-origi

How best to fix/resolve this? Is it a .config problem?

Many thanks.

Jerry.

Is it? I couldn't find one (and it really helps).

There is no U-Boot version specified. I'd say your Buildroot
configuration might be wrong.

Which /might/ explain why git archive is failing (but not sure).

Hello Baruch.

Attached as A13.config. Modified to set up as follows:

BR2_TARGET_UBOOT_CUSTOM_REPO_VERSION="sunxi"
BR2_TARGET_UBOOT_VERSION="sunxi"

Even though I can pull and build u-boot on its own Buildroot still fails as
shown below. I realize this is bound to be user error so thanks again.

You have to set BR2_TARGET_UBOOT_BOARDNAME to A13-OLinuXino.

 So we should probably check for that...

 Patch follows.
