configs/arm_foundationv8: fix build and update documentation

2015-11-22T19:11:51+00:00

The arm_foundationv8_defconfig currently doesn't build because it uses an external AArch64 toolchain that has been updated (Linaro toolchain) and is now based on gcc 5.x. Unfortunately, Linux 3.13 is too old to be built with gcc 5.x. As a minimal fix to make this defconfig build again, we switch to use the internal toolchain backend. At the time this defconfig was introduced, there was no support for AArch64 in the internal toolchain backend, but now that it is available, there is no reason to not use it. This makes the defconfig also more consistent with the other defconfigs. Obviously, the kernel headers used to build the toolchain are set to the fixed version 3.13, so that they match the kernel being used. While we're at it, the readme.txt file corresponding to this defconfig is updated. Runtime testing has been performed with the latest version of the ARM Foundation model.

configs/qemu: bump x86 to 4.3 kernel

Now that uclibc-ng was bumped to version 1.0.9 nothing prevents x86 from working correctly. Signed-off-by: Gustavo Zacarias Signed-off-by: Thomas Petazzoni

zedboard: uboot: load env earlier

2015-11-16T20:53:48+00:00

By default, with the original patch bootcmd runs sdboot before loading uEnv.txt. Consequently, if the user change modeboot, the user's defined content is updated too late. By loading uEnv.txt before 'run $modeboot' the correct boot mode is used instead of default mode. Signed-off-by: Gwenhael Goavec-Merou Acked-By: Jan Viktorin Signed-off-by: Thomas Petazzoni

configs/qemu: bump to the latest linux version

2015-11-11T22:36:39+00:00

ppc-mpc8544ds: switch to custom kernel config since the new 4.3-shipped mpc85xx_basic_defconfig doesn't work with Qemu. Incidentally while cleaning it up it now seems to work fine with newer qemu versions. sparc64_sun4u: ditch ne2k driver since it's useless, and add the e1000 driver which works fine. x86: stick to 4.2.x kernels since 4.3 doesn't work right with uclibc (any variant) based toolchains.

configs: add Freescale i.MX6 SoloX Sabre SD support

2015-11-04T21:50:35+00:00

The i.MX6 SoloX SABRE board for smart devices is Freescale's reference design board based on the heterogeneous ARM Cortex-A9 + Cortex-M4 i.MX6 SoloX applications processor. This defconfig is inspired from previous freescale_imx6*sabresd_defconfig, and is based on Freescale "official" git repo on git.freescale.com and SW release 3.10.53_1.1.0_ga.
