current u-boot policy is to not introduce changes that knowingly break other platforms. so if you want to update the common arm config.mk, you need to at least compile test all arm boards.
---------------------^^^^^^^^^^^^
Doesn't that makes it an impossible task? Not having all the boards makes it pretty hard to test them all.
A compile test does not require any actual hardware.
Does the patch fail I submitted fail any compile tests?
AFAIK, it compiles but the resulting binary might just be rubbish on some boards.
It worked fine on my overo board without any changes to the overo lds.
I have just verified that it builds on overo mx51evk davinci_sonata
If there is an expectation to build every possible config is there a script that will do that?
Yes, MAKEALL in the top level. Assuming you've installed ELDK5.1 or 4.2 to their default locations: $ source /opt/eldk-5.1/armv7a/environment-setup-armv7a-vfp-neon-linux-gnueabi $ CROSS_COMPILE=arm-linux-gnueabi- BUILD_DIR=eldk51 ./MAKEALL -a arm $ CROSS_COMPILE=/opt/eldk-4.2/arm/usr/bin/arm-linux-gnueabi- BUILD_DIR=eldk42 ./MAKEALL -a arm
(I've got the above in a script with a few tweaks to build all TI stuff, for example).
