configs
- buildroot default configs are now stored in buildroot/configs/apfxx_defconfig and no more in buildroot/target/device/armadeus/apfxx/apfxx_defconfig
- uClibc config should be named with version number to not overwrite the old one -->
buildroot/target/device/armadeus/apf27/uClibc-0.9.30.config.arm
- idem for U-Boot config:
buildroot/target/device/armadeus/apf27/apf27-u-boot-2010.03.h
Changes since BR version used in armadeus 4.x
- TBDL
How to use new BR in armadeus
- checkout a recent clean GIT view and before any other command edit the main Makefile to change the BUILDROOT_VERSION flag from 2012.02 to 20121030
- comment line 29
- uncomment the line 30
- then you can use it as old BR:
$ make apf27_defconfig $ make
- new patches dirrectory:
patches/buildroot/2012.11/
Patches that can be sent to BR
(Some will require some cleanup)
Instructions
- Patches to port: patches/buildroot/2010.11
- when working on a patch mark it with:

- --> 000-xxxxxxx.patch: OK JulienB 07:06, 21 October 2010 (UTC)
- How to:
- get a BR git
- try to apply patch with patch -p1 --dry-run < patch_name.patch
- when it applies remove --dry-run, commit, generates patch with GIT and send it to BR

How to send patches to BR
(see the Buildroot - How to contribute page)
- GIT should be installed and configured on your PC like stated here
- clone buildroot GIT:
$ git clone xxxxx buildroot_git_dev/ (TBDL) $ cd buildroot_git_dev/
- take patch from armadeus:
$ cp /path_to_armadeus_bsp/patches/buildroot/2011.05/0xx-name.patch .
- create a branch to work (here my_work):
$ git branch my_work $ git checkout my_work Switched to branch 'my_work' $ git branch master * my_work
- try patch:
$ patch -p1 --dry-run < 0xx-name.patch
- if it works, apply it for real:
$ patch -p1 < 0xx-name.patch
- list changes:
$ git status
- do some more changes if needed and then save them:
... do changes ... $ git add files_changed ... test changes ... $ git commit -m "Summary of your work"
- generate patch to send to BR:
$ git format-patch -M master..my_work -s
- this will give:
0001-Summary_of_your_work.patch
- send patch to BR:
$ git send-email --from=xxx.xxx@xxx.xx --to=buildroot@busybox.net --smtp-server=smtp.xxx.xx 0001-Summary_of_your_work.patch
- depending on the feedbacks from BR, modify your patch:
... do changes ... $ git diff $ git add files_changed $ git commit --amend $ git format-patch -M master..my_work -s
- adds version inside [PATCH] ex: [PATCH v2]
- adds comments after ---, ex:

- retry ;-)
After patch has been accepted
- Delete branch & co:
$ rm xxxx.patch $ git checkout master $ git branch -D my_work $ git branch * master
