[OpenWrt-Devel] Status of X86_64 OpenWRT architecture

2015-03-20 Thread Jean-Michel Pouré - GOOZE
Dear all,

I am working on a custom kernel for the PC Engines APU:
http://wiki.openwrt.org/toh/pcengines/apu

The board can boot OpenWRT git X86 but not X86_64. I have a feeling that
the X86_64 git is out of sync and that most drivers are disabled by
default. Also no compilation options are available in make menuconfig.

Would you mind if I resync X86_64 to match most X86 options and provide
a patch for compilation options. I would like to be able to compile with
CONFIG_DEFAULT_TARGET_OPTIMIZATION=-Os -pipe -march=btver1
-mtune=btver1

The APU is a very powerful CPU, but it needs to be unleashed with custom
compilation options.

Kind regards,
Gnutella

Hi,

Last time I checked the x86-64 target booted just fne on my Alix APU
board without any custom modifications.

What are the specific problems you encountered?

 CONFIG_DEFAULT_TARGET_OPTIMIZATION=-Os -pipe -march=btver1
 -mtune=btver1

The naturla place for these kind of optimizations is a subtarget, but
I'd prefer if x86-64 generic stays - well, generic - enough to work on
both desktop machines, vm containers and apu boards.

OK, I will give a new try in a new build root.

Unfortunately, OpenWRT x86_64 fails to compile on kmod-ipt-ipset.
