Created the board dir and added this line to config.mk:
LDSCRIPT := $(SRCTREE)/board/matrix-vision/mvsmr/u-boot.lds
which results in failure during make :
s...@swa-m460:~/u-boot.git$ CROSS_COMPILE=ppc_6xx- ARCH=powerpc make
for dir in tools examples/standalone examples/api
cpu/mpc5xxx /home/swa/u-boot.git/board/matrix-vision/mvsmr/ ; do \
make -C $dir _depend ; done
make[1]: Entering directory `/home/swa/u-boot.git/tools'
make[1]: Nothing to be done for `_depend'.
...
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/swa/u-boot.git/cpu/mpc5xxx'
make: *** /home/swa/u-boot.git/board/matrix-vision/mvsmr/: No such file
or directory. Stop.
make: *** [depend] Error 2
At first glance I thought there's a make target missing.
But looking at other boards doing the same thing showed no difference.
Using "LDSCRIPT := $(SRCTREE)/cpu/mpc5xxx/u-boot-customlayout.lds"
withing config.mk compiles cleanly and results in working U-Boot.
What am I missing ?
