[U-Boot] "make menuconfig" does not work
List,
"make menuconfig" does not work for u-boot under panadaboard. Old mailing list said because of no Kconfig in u-boot tree. Any plan to add Kconfig or any other way to configure u-boot?
Thanks for any help!

Correct - new mailing list says the same thing ;)
Any plan to add Kconfig or any other way to configure u-boot?
Not that I am aware of, but I would support anyone who submitted patches to add Kconfig support
(it would be great to get U-Boot added to buildroot as well - One build for bootloader + kernel + root filesystem :)

Well, please talk to Marek, then...

Buildroot? Isn't this kind of a dead horse now? I thought everybody is using Yocto now...

Well buildroot is far from dead. And I've never really had a good look at Yocto

Since the last 3 years, the project has seen an increasing activity, and has been almost entirely rewritten. We are doing stable releases every 3 months, are doing a lot more quality testing than we have been doing in the past. We have given talks at the latests ELC, ELCE and FOSDEM.
So, definitely it's not a dead project. It however doesn't fit the same segment as Yocto: Yocto is an embedded distribution generator, while Buildroot is just a root filesystem + kernel + bootloader image generator. Buildroot is much, much simpler to use and set up, but also offers less flexibility than Yocto.
Best regards,
Thomas

It ain't dead, just ... noone uses it.

That's already the case, since a looong time.
make menuconfig -> Bootloaders -> U-Boot
We even have support for a few first stage bootloaders: at the moment AT91Bootstrap, first stage for LPC32xx, X-Loader, and we are interested in adding more when needed.

Thomas
