I definitely wouldn't ditch it, as the installation process is greatly simplified with it. Regarding the dependency of the U-Boot on the device - I'm not quite sure if this is the way to take, as we originally moved it from there to the bootloader itself. But maybe Sven can give us a hint how he stumbled upon this issue ;) Best wishes David > > Cheers, > Christian >> --- >> target/linux/ipq40xx/image/Makefile | 2 +- >> 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-) >> >> diff --git a/target/linux/ipq40xx/image/Makefile >> b/target/linux/ipq40xx/image/Makefile >> index a9c5e625af..7ae6f36baa 100644 >> --- a/target/linux/ipq40xx/image/Makefile >> +++ b/target/linux/ipq40xx/image/Makefile >> @@ -130,7 +130,7 @@ define Device/avm_fritzbox-4040 >> IMAGES = eva.bin sysupgrade.bin >> IMAGE/eva.bin := append-uboot | pad-to $$$$(UBOOT_PARTITION_SIZE) | >> append-kernel | append-rootfs | pad-rootfs >> IMAGE/sysupgrade.bin := append-kernel | append-rootfs | pad-rootfs | >> append-metadata >> - DEVICE_PACKAGES := fritz-tffs fritz-caldata >> + DEVICE_PACKAGES := fritz-tffs fritz-caldata u-boot-fritz4040 > > _______________________________________________ openwrt-devel mailing list openwrt-devel@lists.openwrt.org https://lists.openwrt.org/mailman/listinfo/openwrt-devel
