From: Mathieu Audat Date: Sat, 17 Sep 2016 20:23:24 +0000 (-0400) Subject: configs: add defconfig for TS-4900 X-Git-Url: https://git.libre-soc.org/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=3138ab3fee7b0251e3cb3fba9a373bd3cf9d6424;p=buildroot.git configs: add defconfig for TS-4900 The TS-4900 uses a custom Linux 4.X from Technologic Systems: https://github.com/embeddedarm/linux-3.10.17-imx6/tree/imx_4.1.15_1.0.0_ga Indeed, it is not supported by mainline Linux but this work is ongoing. This patch is inspired by a previous work for the TS-4800. A post image script is provided to generate an image that can be directly written to an SD card. It also adds an fpga wifi module.
