A long time ago, the blind config option BR2_LINUX_KERNEL_UBOOT_IMAGE was introduced to be able to trigger the linux -> host-uboot-tools dependency. Back in those days, there was no user-configurable BR2_PACKAGE_HOST_UBOOT_TOOLS. Now, however, it is possible to select a custom kernel image name that needs uboot-tools, and manually enable BR2_PACKAGE_HOST_UBOOT_TOOLS. In this case, however, the linux -> host-uboot-tools is missed and the build is not reproducible. An example of such a situation is the upcoming CI40 defconfig. As a solution, remove BR2_LINUX_KERNEL_UBOOT_IMAGE entirely. Instead, just select BR2_PACKAGE_HOST_UBOOT_TOOLS and add the dependency if it is selected. Note that this may introduce a redundant dependency in case the user selected BR2_PACKAGE_HOST_UBOOT_TOOLS for some other reason (e.g. to be able to generate a U-Boot environment to include in the image, while the kernel is built as a zImage). However, the redundant dependency shouldn't hurt much.

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.
