Actually all the new board or nearly is add to the MAKEALL
As point by Kumar it's start to be a huge database
I think we need a better policy to add boards in it
As it will hard at the end to maintain
there will need to be a complete database somewhere with Kconfig support, so the MAKEALL issue is fluff once that's done as it can simply use scripts to extract all boards
Personnaly, I'll have in mind to add ref boards or boards that have special drivers or implentation. And stop to duplicate board with the same or near design
good in theory, not so much in practice. perhaps if you wanted multiple lists: one with "pretty good" coverage of options to test changes quickly and one with all coverage like we have today. for the Blackfin port, i take it even further: i build every Blackfin board for every related variant and every available boot mode. this has caught bugs in the past that none of the in- tree boards were configured for catching. if there was a way to hook the MAKEALL process in an arch-specific method, that'd sure be nice because then i can stop maintaining this change outside of mainline. -mike
