No, we really don't want per-board configuration options or Makefiles.
A board is just a particular configuration of Buildroot.

Moreover your Makefile.in files still reference some old files in
target/device/ that no longer exist.

The README file should not be a story of how the thing was written, but
simply how to use this configuration on this particular hardware (how
to flash the images, etc.).

Those configurations are useless as they are not visible through "make
help" or "make <foobar>_defconfig". And anyway, we only want one
configuration per board.

Why is it needed to override the default inittab and shadow?

Ok for those two ones.

I don't think any of these is needed.

Ok. Is installation of the kernel image inside the target filesystem
really needed? How does this board boots?

To summarize, a board configuration in Buildroot is just:

 * A minimal defconfig in configs/<blabla>_defconfig, that selects the
   proper architecture, proper bootloader, filesystem image format and
   kernel version/configuration. No toolchain options, no packages, etc.

 * Possibly in board/<manufacturer>/<boardname>/, a kernel
   configuration file, a README file, and other files that have to be
   added in the root filesystem to make the board work.

Thanks!

Thomas

Hi Thomas,

Thank you for your review. I will simplify and try again.

Regards, Steve

  The story of how the thing was written can be part of the commit 
message, however. Although 62 lines of commit message is probably too 
much as well.
