Re: [riot-devel] where to put bootloader?
Well, the boot loader is actually a full application, which is something that has not yet been part of the RIOT source tree. So I suggest to create a new base directory "applications" under dist/ or root (I am leaning towards dist/) for it and put it there. That would make it either at /applications/bootloader or /dist/applications/bootloader. cheers Mathias On Mit, 2017-08-09 at 23:54 +0200, Francisco Javier Acosta Padilla wrote: > Hi! > > I think I’m quite against `dist/tools/bootloader`.

Re: [riot-devel] where to put bootloader?
Hi! I think I’m quite against `dist/tools/bootloader`. Most of the code there can be built by itself, which is not the case of the bootloader… I was maybe thinking about leave it there in the root or move it to sys/ as a module. The module option seems to me a bit adequate since is an optional feature we provide to some boards, and can be deactivated when is not needed. Cheers, Paco.

Re: [riot-devel] where to put bootloader?
Hi, gut feeling says `dist/tools/bootloader` (maybe something more unique than just bootloader?), since it isn't really part of the system and not really an example, but a quite specific application. Then again, for the same reasons I could argue to put it in the root folder, that IMHO should be kept small, however.

[riot-devel] where to put bootloader?
Hi everyone, PR #7457 will introduce a bootloader application. The question came up where to put it within the source tree? Currently the PR puts it in the root folder (./bootloader). Do we want that? Is there a better place? Options: examples/bootloader dist/tools/bootloader ... Kaspar ___ devel mailing list devel@riot-os.org https://lists.riot-os.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
