This commit enables the arm-uboot, arm-efi and aarch64-efi grub2 platforms in Buildroot. With the uboot platform, the grub2 image gets built as a u-boot image and is loaded from u-boot through a regular "bootm". The only requirement from the u-boot side in order to allow this is that u-boot is built with CONFIG_API enabled. CONFIG_API seems to not be enabled by default in most in-tree configurations, however, it seems to be available for quite some time now. So it might be possible to use this even on older u-boot versions. This is available only for arm (32-bit). With the efi platform, grub2 gets built as an EFI executable. This allows EFI firmware to find and load it similarly as it can be done for x86_64. Also, since u-boot v2016.05, u-boot is able to load and boot an EFI executable, so the uboot efi platform can also be used from u-boot in recent versions. This has been enabled (mostly) by default for ARM u-boot. efi platform is available for both arm and aarch64.

Buildroot is a simple, efficient and easy-to-use tool to generate embedded Linux systems through cross-compilation. The documentation can be found in docs/manual. You can generate a text document with 'make manual-text' and read output/docs/manual/manual.text. Online documentation can be found at http://buildroot.org/docs.html To build and use the buildroot stuff, do the following: 1) run 'make menuconfig' 2) select the target architecture and the packages you wish to compile 3) run 'make' 4) wait while it compiles 5) find the kernel, bootloader, root filesystem, etc. in output/images You do not need to be root to build or run buildroot. Have fun! Buildroot comes with a basic configuration for a number of boards. Run 'make list-defconfigs' to view the list of provided configurations. Please feed suggestions, bug reports, insults, and bribes back to the buildroot mailing list: buildroot@buildroot.org You can also find us on #buildroot on Freenode IRC.
