To achieve this it builds U-Boot (so far as possible) -as a normal C application with a main() and normal C libraries. - -All of U-Boot's architecture-specific code therefore cannot be built as part -of the sandbox U-Boot. The purpose of running U-Boot under Linux is to test -all the generic code, not specific to any one architecture. The idea is to -create unit tests which we can run to test this upper level code. - -CONFIG_SANDBOX is defined when building a native board. - -The chosen vendor and board names are also 'sandbox', so there is a single -board in board/sandbox/sandbox. - -CONFIG_SANDBOX_BIG_ENDIAN should be defined when running on big-endian -machines. - -Note that standalone/API support is not available at present. - -The serial driver is a very simple implementation which reads and writes to -the console. It does not set the terminal into raw mode, so cursor keys and -history will not work yet. - - -Tests ------ - -So far we have no tests, but when we do these will be documented here. |
