Question about defining UBOOT_MACHINE names about openbmc

[theopolis]

This is because Yocto, the U-boot recipes, will look for a ./configs/NAME_defconfig file in the U-Boot source code. If that does not exist it will cause the failure.

You'll need to tweak some of the U-Boot recipe logic to develop for a new board, since the recipe: https://github.com/facebook/openbmc/blob/helium/meta-aspeed/recipes-bsp/u-boot/u-boot_2016.07.bb#L11 is building U-Boot from another repo.

To do that the general guidance is to change the logic to use a local ./files/u-boot-v2016.07 folder containing the source. Then add your new machine configuration/etc. This will be fairly challenging and it's recommended you have a bit of experience with Yocto and U-Boot building.

Thank you Theopolis. I have now read through the u-boot README and am getting a clearer picture. Good starting place for some experimentation. Thanks.
