This is just an example. What if I chose "-a arm" and "-v freescale". ARM has 300+ targets, but only 20+ are for Freescale. I could save time by building a lot less platforms.
The point here is the "OR" logic.
I suppose you could use mx6 or similar, but I take your point.
So what could we do here? Perhaps add a --vendor flag to limit to a particular vendor? Would that be enough?
With the ability to build targets for more than one arch, I will be tempted to use syntax like this
buildman (powerpc & freescale) (arm & freescale) aarch64
Spaces outside of parens are implicit ORs here, so all powerpc+freescale, all arm+freescale and all aarch64. In the fullness of time the last one might become all freescale+aarch64. Bonus points if we can easily write 'buildman ... ((powerpc|arm|aarch64) & freescale)'
Thinking out loud, the problem is today we have | for OR but we don't have an AND symbol. I can do: $ buildman 'arm|powerpc|aarch64' Today and get what I want. But I can't: $ buildman '(powerpc&freescale)|(arm&freescale)'
OK I'll have a crack at this.
I am afraid the requirement for buildman is getting too complicated.
$ buildman '(powerpc&freescale)|(arm&freescale)'
This feature completely depends on boards.cfg but we want to completely break with it, don't we?
Grepping Kconfig for searching Freescale boards is almost impossible, I think.
Maybe it is time to change our mind. But I have no idea for the replacement.
