That's simple and maybe I should have explain more in the commit message. Those configs aren't tested. All the images that we provide are using GENERIC kernel so we know that GENERIC is tested (somewhat). Those config will also lack update if we need to add a new required pseudo device (like syscon) and maybe it's already the case on some. The only way (for now) that we could produce board specific kernel is to include GENERIC and add a bunch of nodevice "blah", which is not going to happen. We have plan for splitting the GENERIC kernel into soc familly file, then it would be easier for people to have a SoC kernel config. Finaly I guess that when you say "boards we support" you are talking about RPI2, BEAGLEBONE or maybe PANDABOARD. For me those aren't board that we support, those are survivors that had the chance to not die in the past years. No developer care about or work on those boards. > Svatopluk Kraus > > > > On Wed, Apr 10, 2019 at 9:27 PM Emmanuel Vadot <manu@freebsd.org> wrote: > > > > Author: manu > > Date: Wed Apr 10 19:27:14 2019 > > New Revision: 346096 > > URL: https://svnweb.freebsd.org/changeset/base/346096 > > > > Log: > > arm: kernel: Remove old kernel configs > > > > Follow up to r346095 > > All those kernels are either not working or the release have switched > > to GENERIC > > > > Deleted: > > head/sys/arm/conf/AML8726 > > head/sys/arm/conf/BEAGLEBONE > > head/sys/arm/conf/CHROMEBOOK > > head/sys/arm/conf/CHROMEBOOK-PEACH-PIT > > head/sys/arm/conf/CHROMEBOOK-PEACH-PIT.hints > > head/sys/arm/conf/CHROMEBOOK-SNOW > > head/sys/arm/conf/CHROMEBOOK-SPRING > > head/sys/arm/conf/CHROMEBOOK.hints > > head/sys/arm/conf/EXYNOS5.common > > head/sys/arm/conf/EXYNOS5250 > > head/sys/arm/conf/EXYNOS5420 > > head/sys/arm/conf/ODROIDC1 > > head/sys/arm/conf/PANDABOARD > > head/sys/arm/conf/PANDABOARD.hints > > head/sys/arm/conf/RADXA > > head/sys/arm/conf/RADXA-LITE > > head/sys/arm/conf/RK3188 > > head/sys/arm/conf/RPI2 > > -- Emmanuel Vadot <manu@bidouilliste.com> <manu@freebsd.org>
