To make the creation of a bootstrap medium for most ARM platforms more comfortable this tool shall bundle all the different U-Boot source states, patches, and MMC preparation rules that we gathered over the year for that purpose. As input, the tool merely needs the targeted platform (analogous to the platform parameter of 'create_builddir'). By now, 'hw_wand_quad' is the only supported platform. Further platforms can be added successively. As output, the tool creates a head image file of small size (8MiB) that can be copied (dd) with offset 0 to the MMC. Fixes #1730
This directory contains tools for managing and using the source code of Genode. :'create_builddir' The 'create_builddir' tool provides a convenient way to create build directories for different platforms. Its usage information is printed when starting the tool without arguments. :'builddir/': This directory contains a Makefile template and configuration snippets used by the 'create_builddir' tool. :'tool_chain': This tool downloads, builds, and installs the tool chain needed to build the Genode OS Framework. For getting usage information, start the tool without arguments. :'create_iso': This simple tool helps to build bootable ISO images from your build of Genode. For getting usage information, start the tool without arguments. :'create_grub2': This tool prepares a partitioned disk image with GRUB2 as boot loader. :'grub2-head.img': This file is the head part of a partioned disk image including an installation of GRUB2 as boot loader. GRUB2 is available from http://www.gnu.org/software/grub/ and in major Linux distributions. Steps to reproduce the image creation can be found in 'create_grub2'. :'beautify': Beautify is a coding-style checking tool that analyzes source code for its adherence to Genode's coding style as described in 'doc/coding_style.txt'. Whenever possible, the tool tries to fix the issues and outputs a corrected file. Some corrections, however, require human interaction. In this case, the tool stops the analysis with an error. :'parse_cxx': This tool is a C++ parser used as front-end for Beautify. :'cxx_to_html': This tool converts a C++ source file to a HTML view to be used for the API documentation at the genode.org website. It relies on 'parse_cxx' to do the actual C++ parsing. :'fix_include_ifndef': This tool helps with assigning consistent include guards to header files. :'boot': This directory contains boot-loader files needed to create boot images. :'autopilot': Autopilot is a tool for the automatic execution of run scripts among multiple base platforms. :'prepare.mk': Tool for downloading and integrating 3rd-party source codes with Genode. This file is included by the makefiles in the root of source-code repositories that interface with 3rd-party code, e.g., libports and ports.
