Hi,
Included patch that adds support for --board parameter to the
prepare_kernel.sh script.
When --board is provided the script will look for optional board
patches in the folder that ipipe patch is and in $board subfolder if
exsists.
It expects the patch name to be: {ipipe_base_name}-{board_name}-{pre,post}-*
Where {ipipe_base_name} is the ipipe name before the last '-'.
Example:
For ipipe-core-3.10.18-arm-1.patch and board=raspberry it will look for:
- ipipe-core-3.10.18-arm-raspberry-{pre,post}-*.patch
Regards,
Gregory
