Hi,
as everyone knows, the current config system for U-Boot is simply PITA. I regexed all 'CONFIG_' defines from the latest sources, and I found more than 1300 unique defines. Not tested with 'CFG_' defines yet. Some defines use cannonical names, so you see what belongs together. For the rest you must dig in the sources.
I also found, that you need to undef several defines to disable a sub system completely. Any single change/addition/removal to/of a CONFIG_ define might have a side-effect. And most times it has.
I would like to know, if there are any plans or is on-going work to replace this hand-crafted mess with a configuration system?
I'd like to use something like Kconfig. It turned out to be useful with Linux, BusyBox or ptxdist. It handles dependencies between defines, and also provides help and defaults for each.
Regards Carsten
