for an upcoming embedded linux course, i want to do a detailed coverage of configuring and building u-boot for the BBB and, to that end, i decided to make a list of most of the relevant files that go into the final u-boot image for the BBB, which i started listing here:
http://www.crashcourse.ca/wiki/index.php/U-Boot_BBB_files the idea is that this section will be a combination of: * how u-boot is configured and built, and * how u-boot works specifically on the BBB so students can see how various bits of the u-boot master branch contribute to the final bootable image, and where they come from. obviously, that list isn't complete, i'm not going to list every single file, i just want to list pointers to the major files or directories related to the BBB. i made that list fairly quickly ... am i missing anything critical that contributes to the final image? or did i include anything that actually isn't relevant? and if that list is informative, it will be publicly available, anyone's entitled to peruse it if they want. and two final u-boot questions. i want to extend that list to incorporate links to the corresponding content at the u-boot git repo, so if one is interested, one need only follow the link. the git repo is here: http://git.denx.de/?p=u-boot.git;a=summary but what is the proper URL that i would use to have each link track the master branch version of each file/directory? it would seem to be something like: http://git.denx.de/?p=u-boot.git;a=blob;f=Makefile;hb=HEAD do i have that right? (i don't want to lock any hyperlink to a specific commit.) finally, a u-boot question -- is there a make target for u-boot that simply produces all the auto-generated files without actually starting the build? i didn't see one but i'm willing to believe i just missed it. thanks muchly. rday -- ======================================================================== Robert P.
