just a yes or no ... if i configure and build buildroot for a BBB,
will the generated artifacts simply "work" if i copy them to an
appropriately formatted SD card?
i ask as i downloaded the current state of buildroot, did the
obligatory:
$ make beaglebone_defconfig
$ make
and got fairly predictable results:
-rw-rw-r--. 1 rpjday rpjday 34004 Apr 15 10:41 am335x-boneblack.dtb
-rw-rw-r--. 1 rpjday rpjday 32858 Apr 15 10:41 am335x-bone.dtb
-rw-rw-r--. 1 rpjday rpjday 102416 Apr 15 10:07 MLO
-rw-rw-r--. 1 rpjday rpjday 3013632 Apr 15 10:41 rootfs.ext2
-rw-rw-r--. 1 rpjday rpjday 364200 Apr 15 10:07 u-boot.img
-rw-rw-r--. 1 rpjday rpjday 96 Apr 15 10:41 uEnv.txt
-rwxrwxr-x. 1 rpjday rpjday 3600224 Apr 15 10:41 zImage
*however*, without a chance to test this at the moment, i note that
the contents of uEnv.txt are kind of skimpy:
bootpart=0:1
bootdir=
uenvcmd=run loadimage;run loadramdisk;run findfdt;run loadfdt;run ramboot
as in, no reference to the kernel image file or the dtb file, so i'm
only assuming that all of that is somehow encoded in the u-boot.img.
i'm going to dig deeper later, but can anyone who's done this verify
that just copying those artifacts to an SD card will give me a
bootable system? thanks.
