targets: add USES_PM auto-feature

2025-07-20T11:16:13Z

Not all targets support power management, some older or more simple targets don't have CONFIG_PM set. Allow kernel module packages to depend on USES_PM to only be available on targets which got CONFIG_PM=y in their kernel config. Signed-off-by: Daniel Golle

targets: add PINCTRL_SUPPORT auto-feature

2025-07-19T12:54:22Z

Not all targets have CONFIG_PINCTRL=y set in their kernel config. Let's introduce a feature for that so kernel module packages which select or depend on CONFIG_PINCTRL=y may depend on that, so we can try to prevent leaking CONFIG_PINCTRL=y also into targets which do not require it.

image: add support for EROFS rootfs image generation

2025-07-05T13:24:54Z

Add support for generating EROFS rootfs images. The EROFS filesystem can offer competitive I/O performance while minimizing final image size when using the MicroLZMA compressor. Target platform: linux-x86_generic (target-i386_pentium4_musl) Filesystem Image Size ============= ========== root.erofs 4882432 root.ext4 109051904 root.squashfs 4903302 Co-Developed-by: Gao Xiang Signed-off-by: Gao Xiang Link: https://github.com/openwrt/openwrt/pull/19244 Signed-off-by: Christian Marangi

imagebuilder: exclude metadata for profiles that have no kernel

2025-05-09T09:06:57Z

Device profiles that specify 'DEFAULT := n' are being included in the imagebuilder metadata, specifically in .profiles.mk, even though there is no kernel built for the device. This results in 'make info' showing the device as valid, but then 'make image PROFILE=xxx' failing with 'No rule to make target xxx-kernel.bin ...' We exclude these profiles from the imagebuilder, avoiding these errors.

build: introduce support to declare skip package

2024-10-28T23:07:54Z

It seems some target started declaring package in DEVICE_PACKAGES just to call InstallDev and generate binary for the image firmware. This is very much used by layerscape target where trusted-firmware-a and dependency are called for final image generation. This is problematic for APK since it's more sensible to non exisiting package. To handle this, introduce a prefix '~' for a package that will signal to build the package but not install it in the final image. Signed-off-by: Christian Marangi

base-files: add eMMC sysupgrade support

2021-12-02T20:42:58Z

Adds generic support for sysupgrading on eMMC-based devices. Provide function emmc_do_upgrade and emmc_copy_config to be used in /lib/upgrade/platform.sh instead of redundantly implementing the same logic over and over again. Similar to generic sysupgrade on NAND, use environment variables CI_KERNPART, CI_ROOTPART and newly introduce CI_DATAPART to indicate GPT partition names to be used. On devices with more than one MMC block device, CI_ROOTDEV can be used to specify the MMC device for partition name lookups. Also allow to select block devices directly using EMMC_KERN_DEV, EMMC_ROOT_DEV and EMMC_DATA_DEV, as using GPT partition names is not always an option (e.g. when forced to use MBR). To easily handle writing kernel and rootfs make use of sysupgrade.tar format convention which is also already used for generic NAND support.

base-files: rename 'sdcard' to 'legacy-sdcard'

2021-08-16T11:22:17Z

While an image layout based on MBR and 'bootfs' partition may be easy to understand for users who are very used to the IBM PC and always have the option to access the SD card outside of the device (and hence don't really depend on other recovery methods or dual-boot), in my opinion it's a dead end for many desirable features on embedded systems, especially when managed remotely (and hence without an easy option to access the SD card using another device in case things go wrong, for example). Let me explain: * using a MSDOS/VFAT filesystem to store kernel(s) is problematic, as a single corruption of the bootfs can render the system into a state that it no longer boots at all. This makes dual-boot useless, or at least very tedious to setup with then 2 independent boot partitions to avoid the single point of failure on a "hot" block (the FAT index of the boot partition, written every time a file is changed in bootfs). And well: most targets even store the bootloader environment in a file in that very same FAT filesystem, hence it cannot be used to script a reliable dual-boot method (as loading the environment itself will already fail if the filesystem is corrupted). * loading the kernel uImage from bootfs and using rootfs inside an additional partition means the bootloader can only validate the kernel -- if rootfs is broken or corrupted, this can lead to a reboot loop, which is often a quite costly thing to happen in terms of hardware lifetime. * imitating MBR-boot behavior with a FAT-formatted bootfs partition (like IBM PC in the 80s and 90s) is just one of many choices on embedded targets. There are much better options with modern U-Boot (which is what we use and build from source for all targets booting off SD cards), see examples in mediatek/mt7622 and mediatek/mt7623. Hence rename the 'sdcard' feature to 'legacy-sdcard', and prefix functions with 'legacy_sdcard_' instead of 'sdcard_'. Tested-by: Stijn Tintel Signed-off-by: Daniel Golle

base-files: add generic sdcard upgrade method

2021-08-06T22:34:40Z

Add a generic sdcard upgrade method instead of duplicating code in yet another target, and add a feature flag to only install this upgrade method in targets that set this flag. Copied from mvebu. Signed-off-by: Stijn Tintel
