Hello,
I’m wondering how to make LEDE build automatically an initramfs image (for use with
u-boot tftp recovery boot), when the ENH200EXT is selected as the target device. By
setting "CONFIG_TARGET_ROOTFS_INITRAMFS=y" a working image is build that can be
tftp-booted alright, but I would prefer that it is build automatically beside the
sysupgrade image.
The context would, as requested, be "target/linux/ar71xx/image/generic.mk".
The "generic" subtarget doesn't have included "ramdisk" feature:
https://github.com/lede-project/source/blob/master/target/linux/ar71xx/generic/target.mk#L2
It's the one responsible for selecting the "TARGET_ROOTFS_INITRAMFS":
https://github.com/lede-project/source/blob/master/scripts/target-metadata.pl#L34
https://github.com/lede-project/source/blob/master/config/Config-images.in#L11
On the other hand, "mikrotik" subtarget uses initramfs images as they
are required for initial LEDE flash:
https://github.com/lede-project/source/blob/master/target/linux/ar71xx/mikrotik/target.mk#L2
Is the initramfs image required for initial LEDE image flash on your
device or is it just useful with recovery mode?
From what I have understood so far, the clause would be something like:
define Device/enh200ext
DEVICE_TITLE := Engenius ENH200EXT
DEVICE_PACKAGES := rssileds
BOARDNAME := ENH200EXT
CONSOLE := ttyS0,115200
Side note: this is default under ar71xx target, drop this line in your
next patch please.
Defaults:

The sysupgrade image is build, but the initramfs image is not build. I suppose
an IMAGE/initramfs declaration must be added, but I do not know what to declare
or call.
Some help would be appreciated,
