r269549:
Create a new project branch, release-noxdev, for
a sandbox workspace outside of head/ to update the
release bits for arm builds since the deprecation of
the XDEV and XDEV_ARCH make(1) variables.
r269551:
Define load_chroot_env() and load_target_env()
prototypes.
r269552:
Call load_chroot_env() and load_target_env() where
they can be mutually conflicting with regard to
TARGET, TARGET_ARCH, XDEV, and XDEV_ARCH.
r269553:
Add shebang line to arm/*.conf files since these
should be considered to be executable (albeit not
on their own) shell scripts.
r269554:
Redefine load_chroot_env() and load_target_env() in
the arm/*.conf files, and reindent.
r269555:
Simplify where load_chroot_env() and load_target_env() are
called.
r269558:
Provide example in release.conf.sample for overriding the
load_chroot_env() and load_target_env() prototypes.
r269559:
Remove a gratuitous newline.
r269560:
Unset potentially conflicting variables in load_chroot_env()
and load_target_env().
r269561:
Make global variables global, and accessible outside of
the functions within which they were once defined.
r269628:
Remove XDEV/XDEV_ARCH evaluation if EMBEDDEDBUILD is set.
r269629:
In arm/release.sh, switch TARGET/TARGET_ARCH back to the
original XDEV/XDEV_ARCH make(1) variables.
In theory, this should have been a no-op, but the TARGET and
TARGET_ARCH are now unset in load_target_env() to avoid
collision with the chroot userland.
r269630:
Export variables in the arm/*.conf files because they
need to be passed through release.sh to arm/release.sh.
Set MK_TESTS=no for the xdev target.
r269635:
As part of the XDEV/XDEV_ARCH deprecation, the
'xdev-links' target was intentionally no longer
invoked automatically.
Invoke the xdev-links target after xdev, which
creates, for example, /usr/bin/armv6-freebsd-cc
symlink to /usr/armv6-freebsd/usr/bin/cc.
r269637:
Set TARGET and TARGET_ARCH to the XDEV and XDEV_ARCH
counterparts for the xdev and xdev-links make(1)
targets.

After several months of testing and fixing (and breaking)
various parts of release/release.sh changes, it is now
possible to build FreeBSD/arm images as part of the release
process.
When EMBEDDEDBUILD is set in the release.conf file, release.sh
will create the build environment, then run a separate script
in release/${XDEV}/release.sh [1]. Currently, only arm is
supported.
The release/${XDEV}/release.sh configures the build environment
specific for the target image, such as installing gcc(1),
installing additional third-party software from the ports tree,
and fetching external sources.
Once the build environment is set up, release/${XDEV}/release.sh
runs Crochet, written by Tim Kientzle, which builds the userland
and kernel, and creates an image that can be written to an SD
card with dd(1). Many thanks to Tim for his work on Crochet.
Sample configurations for FreeBSD/arm boards are in the
release/arm/ directory, and Crochet configuration files for each
board are located in release/tools/arm/. Supported boards at this
time are: BEAGLEBONE, PANDABOARD, RPI-B, and WANDBOARD-QUAD.
Adding support for additional boards will continue in the
projects/release-embedded/ branch, and incrementally merged back
to head/.
Many thanks to the FreeBSD Foundation for the support and
sponsorship of this project.
[1] XDEV is used in order to keep the various configurations
organized by architecture, but since TARGET and TARGET_ARCH
are used to build the chroot, the values of those variables
cannot be used.

build to arm/release.sh.
This prevents needing to build a separate chroot environment for
the arm/armv6 builds when it is not absolutely necessary. This
is useful for situations where a single userland build is used
to populate more than one chroot.

set up for the amd64/amd64 TARGET/TARGET_ARCH combination.
Some of the build tools used here (u-boot in particular) require
use of gcc(1). The lang/gcc* from ports/ will install as 'gccNN'
instead of 'gcc', so they cannot be used without extra hacks.
Add an EMBEDDED_WORLD_FLAGS variable to be used to properly set
up the build chroot. For the RPI-B case, EMBEDDED_WORLD_FLAGS
is set to 'WITH_GCC=1', which is used to set up the build chroot.
While here, in followup to r260895, do not rely on the necessary
configuration files and/or scripts to exist in the build target
src/ tree.
To work around cases where files do not exist, copy (from the
local release/ checkout) the tools/${XDEV}/crochet-${KERNEL}.conf
to ${CHROOTDIR}/tmp/external/crochet-${KERNEL}.conf to make them
accessible to the external utilities that need them (i.e., crochet).

release.sh:
- Modify release/release.sh to recognize an 'EMBEDDEDBUILD'
variable. When set, release/release.sh will build the chroot
userland as is done for big-iron builds.
- Instead of running the 'buildworld', 'buildkernel', and
'release' targets in the chroot, a separate script is run.
The script tools/release/${XDEV}/release.sh sets up the rest
of the chroot workspace, such as installing ports that will
be needed, and building the 'xdev' target.
- crochet (by kientzle@) is checked out from the upstream
repository (and if needed, u-boot, in the case of Raspberry
Pi).
- tools/release/${XDEV}/release.sh then runs crochet with
a configuration file specific to the ${KERNCONF} being built.
Note that this is effectively a first-pass attempt to integrate
this into the release process.
