I am trying to build a new uboot image version 2013.01.01 in buildroot. The buildroot "make menuconfig" asks for "uboot board name". I tried to give it "EP405" but this failed the build as it wasn't able to find such a configuration. How can I find out about the right name for the board used by buildroot? I think my board is just a generic ppc board and should have been supported long ago.
IIRC, then the "EP405" board was has never been supported in mainline U-Boot. From the Linux kernel (which seem to support it) I can see that it is the "Embedded Planet EP405" board. Is this correct?
I think you have 2 options:
a) Get the U-Boot sources from the board vendor and modify/port it to the latest version.
b) Port U-Boot to the EP405 from scratch using some other 405 boards as reference. That should no be that hard.
Hope this helps.
Thanks, Stefan
