[U-Boot] [PATCH] Append board name to version identifier
so it is printed as part of the version command and visible when displaying the image in the various flash banks.
This allows "strings u-boot.bin | head -1" to identify target:

I don't think this is a good idea, especially as it afects the user interface for all boards.
Please feel free to define local settings for boards that are maintained by you (oops... there aren't any...), but I don't want to change this globally.
Best regards,
Wolfgang Denk

Instead, you can create the localversion-<something> file and the build system will take care of the rest, for example:
------------cut---------- ~/git-repo/u-boot $ cat localversion-cm-t3730 -cm-t3730-1 ------------cut----------
and it gives me:
U-Boot 2011.09-cm-t3730-1 (Oct 11 2011 - 11:52:34)

this `strings|head` is arbitrary and just happens to work for your setup

isn't there though ? for Blackfin boards, i just use checkboard() to include board info. but specifically for the version string, doesn't defining CONFIG_IDENT_STRING in the board's config work ? -mike
