Diez,

If you found that your bug was in fact not resolved and still valid, you
should have reopenned it rather than sending an email to an individual.

So, you said:

> BR2_PACKAGE_RPI_FIRMWARE_INSTALL_DTB_OVERLAYS=y does copy the overlays
> into output/images/rpi-firmware/overlays which is all fine and dandy -
> but does *not* include them then in the actual FAT boot image, which is
> controlled by: buildroot/board/raspberrypi/genimage-raspberrypi3.cfg

Indeed, that is not the case.

The defconfig files we provide in Buildroot are "minimalist" configs,
aimed at building the strict minimum to get a board to actually boot up
to a shell prompt, with wired networkingv (no wireless). No more.

This is because there are so many possibilities to use a board that we
will definitely never be able to cover all use cases. At least, a minimal
defconfig gets the board booting and ready to use in its basic setup. It
is a known-working starting point for further customisation by the user.

In your casse, edit (or copy then edit) the genimage-raspberrypi3.cfg to
suit your needs.

I'll keep this report closed, however, because I believe the behaviour
you reported is what is intended.

Feel free to comment, though. ;-)

Regards,
Yann E. MORIN.
