[PATCH 2/5] bootwrapper: Add CONFIG_DEVICE_TREE

Scott Wood scottwood at freescale.com
Tue Mar 27 06:52:26 EST 2007


This provides a way to tell the bootwrapper makefile which device tree to
include by default.  The wrapper can still be invoked standalone to wrap
with a different device tree without reconfiguring the kernel, if that is
desired.

+	  This specifies the device tree source (.dts) file to be
+	  compiled and included when building the bootwrapper.
+	  If a relative filename is given, then it will be relative

+	  tries to pass a device tree (unless you tell it not to).
+	  If your U-Boot does not mention a device tree in
+	  "help bootm", then use the cuImage target and specify
+	  a device tree here.  Otherwise, use the uImage target.
