Hi,
Buildroot 2017.05-rc1 is released - Go download it at:
http://buildroot.net/downloads/buildroot-2017.05-rc1.tar.gz
or
http://buildroot.net/downloads/buildroot-2017.05-rc1.tar.bz2
Or get it from Git:
git://git.buildroot.net/buildroot
Please give it a spin and report any problems to the mailing list or
bug tracker.
With 1287 changes, this cycle is almost exactly as busy as the 2017.02
cycle (1218 changes), and again a bit more than 100 different persons
contributed patches.
Of noteworthy new features/changes we have:
Infrastructure:
- Installed binaries are now checked for correct architecture to catch
natively built binaries or binaries built for other architecture
variants.
- Automatic ext2 rootfs size calculation has been removed. The logic was
not working working reliable in all setups as it depends on the host
filesystem behaviour, so instead now the size has to be specified
explicitly (defaults to 60MB).
- Luarocks infrastructure improvements to extraction handling,
support for upstream name != Buildroot package name.
- A script to check for common style issues in new packages before
submitting has been added in support/scripts/check-package
- Infrastructure for runtime testing has been added to support/testing
Toolchain:
- External linaro toolchains updated to 2017.02, ARC toolchain updated
to 2017.03-rc1, NIOSII CodeSourcery to 2017.05
- A number of fixes and improvements to the external toolchain handling,
including C library detection, multilib and ld.so handling
- Glibc 2.25 and uClibc-ng 1.0.24 added, wordexp support enabled for uClibc-ng
- Binutils 2.28 added and default changed to 2.27
Architectures:
- Support for the C-SKY architecture has been added.
License handling:
- The package license markings for legal info now uses the SPDX short
identifiers for the license string where possible.
New defconfigs: AT91sam9x5ek dev/mmc/mmc-dev, banana pro, Nationalchip
gx6605s, MIPS creator ci40, nexbox a95x, 64bit defconfig for raspberry
