then where exactly are boards supposed to specify their own custom build settings ? like optimizations that they want to enable on specific
Boards should not need custom build rules in the first place.
i didnt say build rules, i said settings. that means tweaking things like CFLAGS. none of the Blackfin board config.mk's have custom build rules.
files/subdirs ? many Blackfin boards prefer speed over size in the compression code because we arent hurting for space, and most people prefer the faster decompression at runtime. without a board config.mk, that isnt possible.
Can these be gobal settings for all BF boards then?
no, that doesnt make any sense. just because i want some of the boards i maintain to favor speed over size doesnt mean every board maintainer should. thus the settings are in the board-specific config.mk where they should be. -mike
