* arc770: Introduce images for SD-cardsAlexey Brodkin2016-08-284-47/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Historically on ARC we started from initramfs-based images because: a) It was much easier to debug especially when toolchain and other components were changing quite dynamically b) It was our usual approach for embedded Linux But now with ARC port of Lede/OpenWRT getting more stable and mature we're ready for more real-life scenarios with FS permanently stored on SD-card. This essentially benefits from ability to setup devices that survive reboots with all settings and extra packages kept in place. Still we keep an ability to build images with initramfs. This allows us to use storage-less simulators for testing still. Signed-off-by: Alexey Brodkin <abrodkin@synopsys.com> Cc: John Crispin <john@phrozen.org> Cc: Jo-Philipp Wich <jo@mein.io>
* arc770: Remove MMC kernel modules, they are built-in nowAlexey Brodkin2016-08-282-2/+2
| | | | | | | | If we want to boot from SD-card we need to have corresponding drivers already built-in so there's no point in having these modules. Signed-off-by: Alexey Brodkin <abrodkin@synopsys.com>
* arc770: build kmod-ath9k-htc wpad-mini by defaultJohn Crispin2016-04-092-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | AXS101 beind a development board lacks built-in wireles inerfaces. So we have to use external USB dongles to turn the board into wireless router. The best USB Wi-Fi dongles to work in AP-mode seem to be based on ath9k-htc chipset. And so with that change we add support of mentioned dongles in default and axs101 builds.

* linux: add support of Synopsys ARC770-based boardsFelix Fietkau2015-11-225-0/+70
This patch introduces support of new boards with ARC cores. [1] Synopsys SDP board This is a new-generation development board from Synopsys that consists of base-board and CPU tile-board (which might have a real ASIC or FPGA with CPU image). It sports a lot of DesignWare peripherals like GMAC, USB, SPI, I2C etc and is intended to be used for early development of ARC-based products. [2] nSIM This is a virtual board implemented in Synopsys proprietary software simulator (even though available for free for open source community). This board has only serial port as a peripheral and so it is meant to be used for runtime testing which is especially useful during bring-up of new tools and platforms. What's also important ARC cores are very configurable so there're many variations of options like cache sizes, their line lengths, additional hardware blocks like multipliers, dividers etc. And this board could be used to make sure built software still runs on different HW configurations.
