This commit adds a new package for the SCP (System Control Processor) firmware for the ARM reference platforms. There will most likely be other SCP firmware provided by other vendors, but they might be provided in a different form, so we for now create a vendor-specific package named vexpress-firmware. Since this firmware is used for booting, we create the package in boot/ and not in package/. The package simply installs a single pre-built binary file into the images directory. Signed-off-by: Joao Pinto <jpinto@synopsys.com> [Thomas: - Rename the package from scpfirmware to vexpress-firmware. - Add a Config.in prompt for the package. - Remove the prompt-less Config.in options to select the Git repo and version. Since we only support the Vexpress firmware, there's no need for configurability here, so we just use the right Git repo/version in the .mk file. - Use $(INSTALL) -D to install the firmware file. - Add license information.] Signed-off-by: Thomas Petazzoni <thomas.petazzoni@free-electrons.com> Reviewed-by: "Yann E.

Buildroot is a simple, efficient and easy-to-use tool to generate embedded Linux systems through cross-compilation. The documentation can be found in docs/manual. You can generate a text document with 'make manual-text' and read output/docs/manual/manual.text. Online documentation can be found at http://buildroot.org/docs.html To build and use the buildroot stuff, do the following: 1) run 'make menuconfig' 2) select the target architecture and the packages you wish to compile 3) run 'make' 4) wait while it compiles 5) find the kernel, bootloader, root filesystem, etc. in output/images You do not need to be root to build or run buildroot. Have fun! Buildroot comes with a basic configuration for a number of boards. Run 'make list-defconfigs' to view the list of provided configurations. Please feed suggestions, bug reports, insults, and bribes back to the buildroot mailing list: buildroot@buildroot.org You can also find us on #buildroot on Freenode IRC.
