* buildman: Add a quick-start noteSimon Glass2016-07-31-0/+14
| | | | | | | | For those who just want to build a board, it is useful to see a quick hint right at the start of the documentation. Add a few commands showing how to download toolchains and build a board. Signed-off-by: Simon Glass <sjg@chromium.org>

* buildman: allow more incremental buildingStephen Warren2016-05-17-0/+42
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | One use-case for buildman is to continually run it interactively after each small step in a large refactoring operation. This gives more immediate feedback than making a number of commits and then going back and testing them. For this to work well, buildman needs to be extremely fast. At present, a couple issues prevent it being as fast as it could be: 1) Each time buildman runs "make %_defconfig", it runs "make mrproper" first. This throws away all previous build results, requiring a from-scratch build. Optionally avoiding this would speed up the build, at the cost of potentially causing or missing some build issues. 2) A build tree is created per thread rather than per board. When a thread switches between building different boards, this often causes many files to be rebuilt due to changing config options. Using a separate build tree for each board would avoid this. This does put more strain on the system's disk cache, but it is worth it on my system at least. This commit adds two command-line options to implement the changes described above; -I ("--incremental") turns of "make mrproper" and -P ("--per-board-out-dir") creats a build directory per board rather than per thread. Tested: ./tools/buildman/buildman.py tegra ./tools/buildman/buildman.py -I -P tegra ./tools/buildman/buildman.py -b tegra_dev tegra ./tools/buildman/buildman.py -b tegra_dev -I -P tegra ... each once after deleting the buildman result/work directory, and once "incrementally" after a previous identical invocation.

* buildman: Add a way to specific a full toolchain prefixSimon Glass2016-03-17-109/+187
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | At present buildman allows you to specify the directory containing the toolchain, but not the actual toolchain prefix. If there are multiple toolchains in a single directory, this can be inconvenient. Add a new 'toolchain-prefix' setting to the settings file, which allows the full prefix (or path to the C compiler) to be specified. Update the documentation to match.

* buildman: Try to guess the upstream commitSimon Glass2015-01-14-2/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Buildman normally obtains the upstream commit by asking git. Provided that the branch was created with 'git checkout -b <branch> <some_upstream>' then this normally works. When there is no upstream, we can try to guess one, by looking up through the commits until we find a branch. Add a function to try this and print a warning if buildman ends up relying on it. Also update the documentation to match. Signed-off-by: Simon Glass <sjg@chromium.org> Suggested-by: Wolfgang Denk <wd@denx.de>

* buildman: Separate out display of warnings and errorsSimon Glass2014-09-05-0/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | Some boards unfortunately build with warnings and it is useful to be able to easily distinguish the warnings from the errors.

| | | | | | | | | | | | Some boards are known to be broken and it is convenient to be able to exclude them from the build. Add an --exclude option to specific boards to exclude.

* buildman: Introduce an 'and' operator for board selectionSimon Glass2014-08-13-0/+9
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently buildman allows a list of boards to build to be specified on the command line. The list can include specific board names, architecture, SOC and so on. At present the list of boards is dealt with in an 'OR' fashion, and there is no way to specify something like 'arm & freescale', meaning boards with ARM architecture but only those made by Freescale. This would exclude the PowerPC boards made by Freescale. Support an '&' operator on the command line to permit this. Ensure that arguments can be specified in a single string to permit easy shell quoting.

* buildman: Add verbose option to display errors as they happenSimon Glass2014-08-13-10/+36
| | | | | | | | | | | Normally buildman operates in two passes - one to do the build and another to summarise the errors. Add a verbose option (-v) to display build problems as they happen. With -e also given, this will display errors too. When building the current source tree (rather than a list of commits in a branch), both -v and -e are enabled automatically.

* buildman: make board selector argument a regexStephen Warren2013-11-21-4/+10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | A common use-case is to build all boards for a particular SoC. This can be achieved by: ./tools/buildman/buildman -b mainline_dev tegra20 However, when the SoC is a member of a family of SoCs, and each SoC has a different name, it would be even more useful to build all boards for every SoC in that family. This currently isn't possible since buildman's board selection command-line arguments are compared to board definitions using pure string equality. To enable this, compare using a regex match instead. This matches MAKEALL's handling of command-line arguments. This enables: (all Tegra) ./tools/buildman/buildman -b mainline_dev tegra (all Tegra) ./tools/buildman/buildman -b mainline_dev '^tegra.*$' (all Tegra20, Tegra30 boards, but not Tegra114) ./tools/buildman/buildman -b mainline_dev 'tegra[23]' Signed-off-by: Stephen Warren <swarren@nvidia.com> Acked-by: Simon Glass <sjg@chromium.org>

* buildman - U-Boot multi-threaded builder and summary toolSimon Glass2013-04-04-0/+679
This tool handles building U-Boot to check that you have not broken it with your patch series. It can build each individual commit and report which boards fail on which commits, and which errors come up. It also shows differences in image sizes due to particular commits. Buildman aims to make full use of multi-processor machines. Documentation and caveats are in tools/buildman/README. Signed-off-by: Simon Glass <sjg@chromium.org>
