Hi,
Buildroot 2018.11 is released - Go download it at:
http://buildroot.net/downloads/buildroot-2018.11.tar.gz
or
http://buildroot.net/downloads/buildroot-2018.11.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.
This was another big development cycle with more close to 1400 changes all
over the tree and more than 100 unique contributors! I'm very happy to
see so many "new" people next to the "oldtimers".
Of noteworthy new features/changes we have:
- Architecture: RISC-V support (64bit) added.
- Toolchain: Glibc bumped to 2.28. Fortran support for external
toolchains. ARM (Linaro) toolchains updated to 8.2-2018.08.
- Hardening flags (RELRO) are now handled by the toolchain wrapper
instead of explicitly through CFLAGS/LDFLAGS, fixing a number of
issues.
- Filesystems: Support for creating btrfs and f2fs filesystems added.
- Add a number of patches to fix build errors for host utilities on
modern distributions using glibc-2.28.
- Workaround added for incompatibility issues between host-dtc and older
U-Boot and Linux kernel versions.
- utils/diffconfig: Make it work for (non-Buildroot) config files not
using the BR2_ prefix.
- FS: Drop intermediate tarball from the filesystem handling to fix an
issue with xattrs handling related to fakeroot. Ensure tarball target
includes xattrs.
- Download: Fix confusion in git submodule handling if dl/ is a symlink.
- New defconfigs: Amarula a64-relic, Bananapi m2 ultra, Embest
riotboard, Hardkernel Odroid XU-4, QEMU
riscv64-virt. olimex_a20_olinuxion_lime_mali is renamed to _legacy.
- Basic OpenCL infrastructure support added, similar to how OpenGL is
handled.
- Linux-headers: Support for kernel headers from a custom tarball / git
repo added.
