[Buildroot] Building system for the Marvell's ARMADA A385 borad to resolve the VLAN trunk issue

[Lee, Tommy]

Hi Buildroot Busybox,

My host is Ubuntu-14.04 LTS. My Buildroot release is 2015.05. I made the former meet the latter's requirements. My target is Marvell ARMADA A385 (ARM-Cortex-A9) DB-88F6820-GP.

While resolving my BuidrootLinux-4.0.4 VLAN trunk reachability issue, I discovered that Buildroot-2015.05 supports Marvell's MV78x000 based  ARMADA XP Family, not the DB-88F6820-GP board I am currently using.

With the current board, I have three approaches to resolve the trunk problem on it, from top to bottom:


1.      Pick "Marvell MV78xx0", from the Buildroot-2015.05 "make linux-menuconfig" ARM system type list, for ARMADA A385 to create our .config file.

2.      Upgrade Buildroot-2015.05 to 2015.08 to see whether the ARMADA A38x family is included in the ARM system type list.

3.      Get back to buildroot-2012.11-2015_T1.0 which Marvell built their system successfully. Follow Marvell's procedures to build my system.

I hope you would comment on the above approaches.

Tommy
