The i.MX31 Product Development Kit (or PDK) is Freescale development board
based on the i.MX31 application processor.

This defconfig is based on Freescale kernel 2.6.28 5.1.0, and is aimed at a PDK
in "3 stack" configuration, with CPU engine board, personality board and debug
board.

Note that we have a patch to reconciliate the recent GNU make with the "old"
Makefile in the Linux kernel this configuration refers to.

+Subject: [PATCH] kbuild: fix make incompatibility
+
+"Paul Smith" <psmith@gnu.org> reported that we would fail
+to build with a new check that may be enabled in an
+upcoming version of make.
+
+The error was:
+
+      Makefile:442: *** mixed implicit and normal rules.  Stop.
+
+The problem is that we did stuff like this:
+
+config %config: ...
+
+The solution was simple - the above was split into two with identical
+prerequisites and commands.
+With only three lines it was not worth to try to avoid the duplication.

+**************************************
+Freescale i.MX31 PDK development board
+**************************************
+
+This file documents the Buildroot support for the Freescale i.MX31 PDK in "3
+stack" configuration.
+
+The i.MX31 Product Development Kit (or PDK) is Freescale development board [1]
+based on the i.MX31 application processor [2].
+
+For more details on the i.MX31 PDK board, refer to the User's Guide [3].
+
+Build
+=====
+
+First, configure Buildroot for your i.MX31 PDK board:
+
+  make freescale_imx31_3stack_defconfig
+
+Build all components:
+
+  make
+
+You will find in ./output/images/ the following files:
+  - rootfs.tar
+  - zImage
+
+Boot the PDK board
+==================
+
+The i.MX31 PDK contains a RedBoot bootloader in flash, which can be used to
+boot the newly created Buildroot images from the network.
+
+This necessitates to setup a TFTP server first, as well as an NFS server. This
+setup is explained for example in Freescale i.MX31 PDK 1.5 Linux User's Guide
+[4].
+
+Here is a sample RedBoot configuration, for proper network boot of Buildroot on
+the i.MX31 PDK:
+
+    RedBoot> fconfig -l
+    Run script at boot: true
+    Boot script:
+    .. load -r -b 0x100000 zImage
+    .. exec -c "console=ttymxc0,115200 rw root=/dev/nfs ip=dhcp nfsroot=<your NFS server IP address>:<your NFS root path>,v3,tcp"
+    
+    Boot script timeout (1000ms resolution): 2
+    Use BOOTP for network configuration: false
+    Gateway IP address: <your gateway IP address>
+    Local IP address: <your PDK IP address>
+    Local IP address mask: 255.255.255.0
+    Default server IP address: <your TFTP"server IP address>
+    Board specifics: 0
+    Console baud rate: 115200
+    Set eth0 network hardware address [MAC]: false
+    GDB connection port: 9000
+    Force console for special debug messages: false
+    Network debug at boot time: false
+
+Adapt those settings to your network configuration by replacing the appropriate
+network addresses and paths where necessary.
+
+You might want to verify that your i.MX31 PDK switches settings are the correct
+ones for UART, power, boot mode, etc. Here is a reference switches
+configuration:
+
+    SW4
+    1   2   3   4   5   6   7  8
+    ON off off off off off off ON
+
+    SW5 SW6 SW7 SW8 SW9 SW10
+     0   1   0   0   0    0
+
+See the i.MX31 PDK Linux Quick Start Guide [5] for more details on the switches
+settings.
+
+Connect a serial terminal set to 115200n8 and power on the i.MX31 PDK board.
+Buildroot will present a login prompt on the serial port.
+
+Enjoy!
