Build MLO from Source in Android Builds
We are currently using binary MLO's in Panda and Beagle. We need to switch to building these from the source at:
<remote name="linaro-other" fetch="
<project path="u-boot" name="boot/
u-image.img is also built

[asac, Jul 11, 2011]: even though I take the blame of being lax by myself on blueprint summaries, I think we should try to keep in mind that they are potentially only two/three clicks from a release announcement away and we want to show a high quality everywhere. Please phrase the summary with a bit more love; make clear what the problem addressed is, what component is being worked on; what deliverable comes out of this blueprint and what is the acceptance criteria to understand the planned scope.
[mansson, Aug 16, 2011]: The background is that the TI x-loader binary (renamed "MLO") is GPLv2 but only supplied as a binary. MLO needs to be configured and built using its own Makefile and then installed in the vfat (boot) partition. Including the case when the build is done with -jN. The BP explains how this will happen.
Headline:
MLO is now built from source code in Android builds
Acceptance:
The MLO that Panda and Panda-LEB uses for Android uses gets built from source from the upstream git (git://
Notes: Need to be reviewed again by Patrik
Notes:
I guess we need Andys MLO also in the build if I understood him correctly.
Well, a "modern" x-loader is needed, the
git://
will be fine.
Used:
git clone git://gitorious
use master branch
