skeleton: optionally wait for network interfaces to appear

2015-11-02T15:51:47+00:00

This patch has same purpose than 49964858f45d2243c513e6d362e992ad89ec7a45: On some machines, the network interface is slow to appear. For example, on the Raspberry Pi, the network interface eth0 is an ethernet-over-USB, and our standard boot process is too fast, so our network startup script is called before the USB bus is compeltely enumerated, thus it can't configure eth0. Closes #8116. However, wait-delay hook is enabled only if wait-delay property appears in /etc/network/interfaces. This patch enable it automaticaly when interface is configured through DHCP at bootup. But, if user choose to write /etc/network/interface himself, he have to explicitly set wait-delay.

Allow a single DHCP configuration via the system configuration submenu

2015-02-02T20:42:47+00:00

This patch allows the setup of simple a single interface to be automatically brought up and configured via DHCP on system startup. The interface name can be set via a configuration option. This patch does not support systemd-networkd, any complex network configuration should be done via overlay of /etc/network/interfaces or the relevant networkd configuration file [Peter: rename to BR2_SYSTEM_DHCP, tweak help text & implementation] Signed-off-by: Jérémy Rosen Signed-off-by: Peter Korsgaard

New top-level directory: system

2012-11-04T11:51:08+00:00

This directory groups the following elements: * the default root filesystem skeleton * the default device tables * the Config.in options for system configuration (UART port for getty, system hostname, etc.) * the make rules to apply the system configuration options Even though the skeleton and device tables could have lived in fs/, it would have been strange to have the UART, system hostname and other related options into fs/. A new system/ directory makes more sense. As a consequence, this patch also removes target/Makefile.in, which has become useless in the process.
