I think the last device we sold was in 2011 and I am not aware
if anyone has used it for the last couple of years. Remove it
to lower the complexity of the builds.
linux-sysmocom_git.bb is used for the BTS, BSC and IDU. Let's
really use 3.10.76 (from 3.10.50 just rebased and not tested
on the device yet). This should fix the Yocto-Master build
tonight.
9610e792ffde7fb2599d19ca6d2a03230f2043c6 can not be found
in the linux-3.10.76 branch. Just avoid this branch game.

Okay "make modules" will lead to the kernel.release file
being re-created. So kernel.bbclass of Yocto master needs
to be fixed.
This reverts commit 3cdbc49cbb.
Somehow the do_shared_workdir tries to access a file that
should be created by do_configure but isn't present then.
Add these items to see what happens during the build.
Go back to have our own do_configure. The kernel.bbclass would
execute "oldnoconfig" where we simply executed "oldconfig". Keep
on using our old way (for the legacy of it). E.g. with the question
how we ended up having SMP enabled in the BSC build this might
be the answer.
OE-Core seems to unpack the kernel sources into another
directory now (e.g. to share the sources with builds for
modules). Use the kernel.bbclass kernel_do_configure and
copy the .config to the build directory.
The kernel is now built in a dedicated build directory.
We want to enable the watchdog in the bootloader already and
for this to be failsafe we need to have a kernel that can boot
and get ethernet without any additional modules. Now systemd
would not be able to trigger the watchdog and the system would
reboot within 60 seconds. I am not sure how the kernel upgrade
will go and we need to try this.

We have changed the strategy to support multiple BTS with a single
build but don't remove support from files that are used with Edison.
Linux 3.10 and systemd were not used with edison though. So we can
remove it. As the sysmobts-2050 extended the sysmobts-v2 build most
of the -sysmobts-2050 changes are not needed anyway.
This variable doesn't exist on dora and will not break things.
Fixes:
ERROR: Please ensure module rtfifo is listed in KERNEL_MODULE_PROBECONF since module_conf_rtfifo is set
* to be able to mount vfat formatted
usbsticks we need the nls subsystem
* providing nls as modules is a bad idea because
you need to add them at image creation
* better include them into the kernel,
like the kernel for bts and bts-2050 does
We will change the MTD partitioning for our devices soon. The
kernel needs to honor the cmdline given by the kernel for that.
The rootfs will move a few pages to the back with newer bootloaders.
The name/structure of the NAT configuration was changed. Catch up
and put the new names into the old defconfig too. It is an ugly hack
to have it work with v3.2 and v3.10 kernels. The sysmobsc has been
fixed independently.
* use seperate defconfig, because of option changed from 2.6.39 to 3.10
* use python magic to switch between linux and linux-sysmocom
* add sysmocom-bsc to compatible machines for linux-sysmocom
* add new confiugration parameters for syslinux
This is the latest stable kernel. I had hoped some crashes to
go away with it but it turns out to be a compiler issue that
we backported a patch for separately.
* The Linux 3.2.X kernel has some funny issues with GCC 4.8 in the
fs/namei.c look up code. It is easier to move to 3.10 than to fully
debug the issue.
* disable the mISDN loop patch for v3.10
* use the hack to make v3.2 compilable for edison and v3.10 for dora
The build differs in that it doesn't use a getty on ttyS0. In the fuutre,
a modified kernel serial driver as well as a 2050-specific utility
for managing the supervisor processor will follow.
The previous change modified the defconfig to not include the legacy
pseudo terminal support. Increase the version for the sysmoBTS to have
a kernel without old terminal files.
Some of our target applications require ext3/ext4 support for mounting
an MMC card. While the sysmobts-v1 hardware does not have an external
MMC card slot it is nice to have the same image available for this
hardware.
The kernel has been rebased to target 3.2.40 with various bug
fixes in the upstream work. The sysmobts v2 config has been
changed to allocate space for two more UARTs. These are required
for the multi-trx configuration and they make a warning go away.
This has been fixed in upstream of OE-Core and in newer versions
of Yocto. For Edison provide our own version of the pkg_postinst
and pkg_postrm routines. It is not clear yet if this conflicts with
newer versions of poky but all that could happen is that the symlink
is changed twice and removed twice but the command ends with a || true
so this should not cause any kind of fault.
