This shows +differences in effective configuration between one commit and the next. + +For example: + + $ buildman -b kc4 -sK + ... + 43: Convert CONFIG_SPL_USBETH_SUPPORT to Kconfig + arm: + + u-boot.cfg: CONFIG_SPL_ENV_SUPPORT=1 CONFIG_SPL_NET_SUPPORT=1 + + u-boot-spl.cfg: CONFIG_SPL_MMC_SUPPORT=1 CONFIG_SPL_NAND_SUPPORT=1 + + all: CONFIG_SPL_ENV_SUPPORT=1 CONFIG_SPL_MMC_SUPPORT=1 CONFIG_SPL_NAND_SUPPORT=1 CONFIG_SPL_NET_SUPPORT=1 + am335x_evm_usbspl : + + u-boot.cfg: CONFIG_SPL_ENV_SUPPORT=1 CONFIG_SPL_NET_SUPPORT=1 + + u-boot-spl.cfg: CONFIG_SPL_MMC_SUPPORT=1 CONFIG_SPL_NAND_SUPPORT=1 + + all: CONFIG_SPL_ENV_SUPPORT=1 CONFIG_SPL_MMC_SUPPORT=1 CONFIG_SPL_NAND_SUPPORT=1 CONFIG_SPL_NET_SUPPORT=1 + 44: Convert CONFIG_SPL_USB_HOST_SUPPORT to Kconfig + ... + +This shows that commit 44 enabled three new options for the board +am335x_evm_usbspl which were not enabled in commit 43. There is also a +summary for 'arm' showing all the changes detected for that architecture. +In this case there is only one board with changes, so 'arm' output is the +same as 'am335x_evm_usbspl'/ + +The -K option uses the u-boot.cfg, spl/u-boot-spl.cfg and tpl/u-boot-tpl.cfg +files which are produced by a build. If all you want is to check the +configuration you can in fact avoid doing a full build, using -D. This tells +buildman to configuration U-Boot and create the .cfg files, but not actually +build the source. This is 5-10 times faster than doing a full build. + + Other options ============= |
