[Buildroot] [PATCH v2] Add Device Tree and simpleImage support

Sun Feb 19 20:41:00 UTC 2012


This patch adds device tree and simpleImage support to buildroot.  When the simpleImage Kernel binary image type is selected, the user has can select either an in tree device tree source file or an out of tree device tree source file.

This triggers the kernel to build the simpleImage.<dt> target and copy the resulting binary to the output/images directory.  Additionally, if the install dtb option is selected the <dt>.dtb file is copied to the output directory.
