2015-08-03rework kernel module infrastructureWaldemar Brodkorb
Instead of maintaining mk/modules.mk which defines compilations of related kernel modules to pack together into a single package, follow an automatic approach: For every kernel module found in the modules installation directory, create a single package. There are a few caveats to cover: === Module Loading Order === Upon bootup, module loading is ordered based on the number-prefixed files in /etc/modules.d/. The correct number was previously managed in mk/modules.mk on a per-collection basis. The new approach is to have levels which modules are to be assigned to. Level 0 contains modules with no dependencies at all. Level 1 contains modules which have only level 0 dependencies, and so on. This information is determined at compile-time by make-module-ipkgs.sh. === Module Installation to Target RootFS === Since module packages are created automatically from the modules the script finds, ADK build system has no knowledge about the connection between what the user has selected in menuconfig and the actual module packages. Therefore the earlier approach to install selected packages into rootfs does not hold anymore. Instead, use wildcards to find all packages in firmware directory prefixed by 'kmod-' and install them all (hopefully doing the right thing). === Kernel Version === KERNEL_VERSION now contains KERNEL_RELEASE already By creating a localversion file, make KERNEL_RELEASE part of the kernel's version number (so KERNEL_VERSION is correct in most situations) Signed-off-by: Phil Sutter <phil@nwl.cc>

to avoid namespace collisions in some packages, rename TOPDIR. Sorry you need to make cleandir && make prereq && make

2014-06-02refactor CPU_ARCH/ARCH variablesWaldemar Brodkorb
After Joerg asked me about the difference between ADK_TARGET_ARCH and ADK_TARGET_CPU_ARCH I recognized many duplication of variables for this information. These patch fixes this up. Use make cleandir && make menuconfig && make

2010-11-26implement the concept of target choice by embedded system or architectureWaldemar Brodkorb
you can now choose between specific embedded systems like PC Engines ALIX boards, Foxboard, .. or between generic architecture support like x86, x86_64, mips, ... This does reduce the overhead of duplicate configuration files in target directory. Now qemu, toolchain and ibm x40 support is combined in one target directory target/x86. Distinguishing between hardware profiles happens via menu based configuration. (CPU choice for kernel, CFLAGS for package building, ..). We will see if this is the right direction.
