Re: [Ltib] MPC8313 question - again (docu)

[Stuart Hughes]

Hi Deepak,

This is a BSP from Freescale so you should really ask them for support 
on questions specific to their platforms (it's not yet on Savannah CVS).

However, the source code for all packages in LTIB is available.  When 
you build with LTIB you will see messages go by saying things like:

Processing: u-boot-1.1.6-mpc8313erdb
====================================

This indicates the name of the spec file for the package being built. 
It is the spec file that defines the sources for the build of the package.

Normally the sources are not kept unpacked after a package has been 
successfully been built.  However if you want to modify sources and 
build you can use the steps:

   * Unpack the source

$ ./ltib -p u-boot -m prep

   * Edit, edit, edit (in rpm/BUILD/u-boot*)
   * Build the modified sources

$ ./ltib -p u-boot -m scbuild

   * When it all compiles correctly, to install in the rootfs

$ ./ltib -p u-boot -m scdeploy

   * When you're done and you want to capture your changes

$ ./ltib -p u-boot -m patchmerge


You can find more information about this here: 
http://www.bitshrine.org/autodocs/LtibFaq.html#ref_88

So far as u-boot itself goes, it you need help with that you'll need to 
ask on a u-boot forum.

Regards, Stuart
