From 8426d8b0899eb6a9845b3468662512a8da236241 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Stephen Warren Date: Thu, 10 Oct 2013 10:00:20 -0600 Subject: buildman: make board selector argument a regex A common use-case is to build all boards for a particular SoC. This can be achieved by: ./tools/buildman/buildman -b mainline_dev tegra20 However, when the SoC is a member of a family of SoCs, and each SoC has a different name, it would be even more useful to build all boards for every SoC in that family. This currently isn't possible since buildman's board selection command-line arguments are compared to board definitions using pure string equality. To enable this, compare using a regex match instead. This matches MAKEALL's handling of command-line arguments. This enables: (all Tegra) ./tools/buildman/buildman -b mainline_dev tegra (all Tegra) ./tools/buildman/buildman -b mainline_dev '^tegra.*$' (all Tegra20, Tegra30 boards, but not Tegra114) ./tools/buildman/buildman -b mainline_dev 'tegra[23]' Signed-off-by: Stephen Warren Acked-by: Simon Glass --- tools/buildman/README | 14 ++++++++++---- 1 file changed, 10 insertions(+), 4 deletions(-) (limited to 'tools/buildman/README') diff --git a/tools/buildman/README b/tools/buildman/README index 93cf28af38..c30c1d4114 100644 --- a/tools/buildman/README +++ b/tools/buildman/README @@ -89,10 +89,16 @@ a few commits or boards, it will be pretty slow. As a tip, if you don't plan to use your machine for anything else, you can use -T to increase the number of threads beyond the default. -Buildman lets you build all boards, or a subset. Specify the subset using -the board name, architecture name, SOC name, or anything else in the -boards.cfg file.

It optionally copies the binary output into a directory when a build is successful. Size -- cgit v1.2.1
