Summary

0001138: Adds the ability to select dmidecode as part of the buildroot system.

Description

I have a yet to be released open source project that requires dmidecode to be loaded on the system and pull the serial number of the machine out of the BIOS. Since I'm using busybox/buildroot to create my boot image, I thought it would be nice to give back to the community ;)

So I've added the ability to wget dmidecode and compile it in to the current buildroot. Also thanks for the documentation, that made it all possible.

FYI: I'm not sure how well this will cross compile, but it's fine on x86 architectures.

Additional Information

You'll need to add the line from packages/Config.in.addon to /path/to/buildroot/packages/Config.in where alphabetically appropriate.

You can copy packages/dmidecode into /path/to/buildroot/packages/dmidecode

(0001996) bernhardf 01-19-07 08:11	Can you please send a complete $ svn diff package/ > ~/buildroot.add-dmidecode.patch to the list? TIA,

(0002038) decandia50 01-23-07 20:30	uploaded the diff... Since there have been so many revisions ahead, you will probably have to make dmidecode fit in a better category. Maybe something more along the lines of the following from today's (01/23/2007) SVN snapshot Index: package/Config.in =================================================================== --- package/Config.in (revision 17489) +++ package/Config.in (working copy) @@ -57,6 +57,7 @@ source "package/bsdiff/Config.in" source "package/customize/Config.in" source "package/dash/Config.in" +source "package/dmidecode/Config.in" source "package/file/Config.in" source "package/kexec/Config.in" if !BR2_PACKAGE_BUSYBOX_HIDE_OTHERS
