[Buildroot] [V2 0/4] A20-OLinuXino-Lime: new board

[Buildroot] [V2 0/4] A20-OLinuXino-Lime: new board

[Francois Perrad]

This set adds the board A20-OLinuXino-Lime, with 2 flavors:
    - kernel mainline + uboot mainline
    - linux-sunxi (3.4.x) + uboot-sunxi

And also updates two sunxi related packages (sunxi-board & a10disp).

Changes V1 -> V2: review/comments by Arnout Vandecappelle
  - mainline:
    - set BR2_KERNEL_HEADERS_4_0=y
    - set BR2_LINUX_KERNEL_INSTALL_TARGET=y
    - set BR2_TARGET_ROOTFS_EXT2_4=y
    - refactor post-build with arguments from BR2_ROOTFS_POST_SCRIPT_ARGS
  - rename of board/cubietech/cubieboard/mkcubiecard.sh
    - patch removed
  - legacy renamed to mali:
    - refactor post-build with arguments from BR2_ROOTFS_POST_SCRIPT_ARGS
    - readme-mali.txt:
      - include text from https://linux-sunxi.org/Linux_Kernel
      - fix a typo


Francois Perrad (4):
  sunxi-board: bump to version a6a4e94066f4ec6b26fc7060dc453a6bcf26a504
  a10disp: bump to version v0.6.1

+How to build it
+===============
+
+    $ make olimex_a20_olinuxino_defconfig
+
+Compile all and build rootfs image:
+
+    $ make
+
+Result of the build
+-------------------

+    Calling ioctl() to re-read partition table.
+    Syncing disks.
+
+Copy images on the SD card
+--------------------------
+
+    # dd if=output/images/rootfs.ext2 of=/dev/sdX1

+Finish
+======
+
+Eject the SD card, insert it in the A20-OLinuXino-LIME board, and power it up.

+A20-OLinuXino-LIME
+
+Intro
+=====
+
+This is a open hardware board,
+see https://www.olimex.com/Products/OLinuXino/open-source-hardware
+
+The legacy linux-sunxi kernels are based on the vendor code drops.
+It is only useful when accelerated 3D graphics and multimedia support
+is strictly necessary.
+
+The Mainline Kernel is already a much better choice for a headless server.
+And also the mainline kernel works fine even for a basic Linux desktop
+system running on top of a simple framebuffer, which may be good enough for
+the users who do not need fancy 3D graphics or video playback acceleration.
+
+How to build it
+===============
+
+    $ make olimex_a20_olinuxino_mali_defconfig
+
+Compile all and build rootfs image:
+
+    $ make
+
+Result of the build
+-------------------
+
+After building, you should get a tree like this:
+
+    output/images/
+    +-- boot.scr
+    +-- rootfs.tar
+    +-- script.bin
+    +-- u-boot-sunxi-with-spl.bin
+    +-- u-boot.bin
+    `-- uImage
+
+
+How setting up the SD card
+==========================
+
+Depending on the rootfs size, you might want to use a 2GB or larger SD-card.
+The script `mksunxicard.sh` will take care of partitioning and formatting
+the SD-card.
+
+BEWARE! This process will erase your SD card.
+
+Use `dmesg` to find out where the SD card is attached in the /dev tree
+(<device>) and then:
+
+    # ./mksunxicard.sh <images_dir> <device>
+
+where:
+    - <images_dir> is the directory containing the generated files (usually
+    output/images)
+    - <device> is the device file of the SD card (usually /dev/sdX)
+
+
+Finish
+======
+
+Eject the SD card, insert it in the A20-OLinuXino-LIME board, and power it up.

U-boot sunxi is unmaintained and deprecated, you probably don't wnat
to use that.

 It would have been polite to mention in the cover letter or here why you don't
agree with my earlier suggestion to merge the two readme files. But no need to
change that, it's OK to keep them split.

 rootfs.ext4

 Also, I personally prefer to use cat rather than dd, it's generally faster.

 Hey, why did you drop my suggestion to use a github tarball rather than a full
git clone?

When I try to use the mainline U-Boot (which works well with a
mainline kernel), I cannot start the linux-sunxi kernel.
I think that it is problem with bootargs, but I haven't found the good
'magic' value.
So, I stay with U-boot sunxi.

I'll merge the 2 readme files when I could use the same U-boot mainline.
Currently, with the sunxi u-boot, the installation process are too different.

I'm not sure this is a valid argument for such a patch. Have you read
https://linux-sunxi.org/Mainline_U-boot#Boot ?

 Ah, sorry, you have to add the source part as well:

BR2_LINUX_KERNEL_CUSTOM_TARBALL_LOCATION="$(call github,linux-sunxi,linux-sunxi,9a1cd034181af628d4145202289e1993c1687db6)/9a1cd034181af628d4145202289e1993c1687db6.tar.gz"


 BTW looks like this commit is tagged so you can use sunxi-v3.4.104-r0 instead 
of the commit hash.

Applied, thanks. I fixed the commit title so that the package name is
correct: it's sunxi-boards, not sunxi-board.

To differentiate it from the Lime2 and the Micro, the defconfig should
be named configs/olimex_a20_olinuxino_lime_defconfig
                                      ^^^^^

It's not just a nitpick. I'm working on a -Micro these days and I will
probably send a defconfig for it. The -Micro must pull a different
U-Boot config, so the Buildroot defconfig will be different as well.

On the other hand, I _suspect_ the files in
boards/olimex/a20_olinuxino_lime can be generalized with minimal effort
to encompass both boards. But I cannot confirm that right now.

Why not a link to the board page itself as well?
It's https://www.olimex.com/Products/OLinuXino/A20/A20-OLinuXino-LIME/

I build-tested this patch, I should have a board in a few days and be
able to run-test it as well.

Looks like your tag has not been picked up by patchwork (ART=0/0/1).
Maybe leading spaces are not taken into account?

Interesting! I don't think there is any noticeable lag copying <7 MB to
an SD card... But since defconfigs are supposed to be used as a starting
point for real, and possibly large, projects, I'm fine with your
suggestion.

Indeed, the tags must start in the first column to b recognised by
Patchwork.

 Indeed. That's intentional, because I didn't want to add the tag to the patch
as is, but I wanted to signal to Francois that he can add the tag after making
the requested changes.
