Re: [U-Boot] [PATCH] kwboot: Boot Marvell Kirkwood SoCs over a serial link.

Dear Daniel Stodden,

In message 1335325799.8304.15.camel@ramone you wrote:

Why not use something like:

BIN_FILES-$(CONFIG_KIRKWOOD) += kwboot$(SFX)

Huh?

I don't know u-boot's build system very well, but normally CONFIG items are employed to keep the target lean. Where the best you could ask from down-config'd host toolset build would be to not accidentally miss sth? This is all host code.

Is building that conditionally really best current practice? If so, yeah, we sure can change that.

But would appreciate a clarification.

It makes no sense to build this tool on systems that will have no use for it - say, on Power architecture. It only costs build time.

Best regards,

Wolfgang Denk
