Add support for the BeagleV Fire, the Beagleboard SBC powered by Microchip's PolarFire SoC. The configuration file is beaglev_fire_defconfig. It builds a bootable kernel image with an embedded root file system. The image built can be flashed to the board using the eMMC. The yaml configuration file is used by the hss payload generator. It maps the ELF binaries or binary blobs to the application hart. The image generator script sets the partitions of the image. The image tree souce file creates a FIT image. The post image script creates the payload using the payload generator host package and finally, creates the FIT image using the ITS after the kernel build. It also creates the BMAP file for use with the BMAP command line tool to transfer the image to the board. The U-Boot script and additional U-Boot configurations ensure that U-Boot behaves as expected for the BeagleV-Fire and boots the FIT image. The rootfs-overlay contains script for updating the BeagleV-Fire gateware. The README.txt documents how to build and boot the Beagle-V Fire with this configuration. It also explains how to program a custom bitstream.

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 OFTC IRC.
