pengutronix add custom files to rootfs

Hi All,

I'm using the bsp from pengutronix.
All seems to work after following  the mini2440 quickstart manual.

I've enable the http server in busy box.
It runs and i can connect to it and after creating a html file in /home/www
i can view it with a browser.

Now I want to add some default html files in the map /home/www and build
the filesystem.
I put the files in <bsp
folder>/configs/platform-friendlyarm-mini2440/projectroot/home/www.
But they will not show up in the created rootfs after running the command
ptxdist images


Can anyone tell me how to do this ?
Should I really follow the (quite complicated) chapter 8.26 in the
quickstart guide, or is there an easier way ?

Gene

Once you have followed the procedure in section 8.26 your life will be made
significantly easier!

I have done some more recent work with these files using the install_tree
macro and that has made things an order of magnitude easier.  You just drop
your files into a folder, ie /home and everything is handled automagically.

Notice the install_tree directive.  Read about this in the
OSELAS.BSP-Pengutronix-Generic-arm-Quickstart.pdf

Thanks Davef

Did copy your files and edited it for my needs and it works.

My life is indeed significantly now (at least for updating the rootfs ;) )


Thanks,

Gene

I am going to do another install_tree macro for /etc as that seems to be
another directory that multiple user files ends up in.

ifdef PTXCONF_DAVES_ROOTFS_MY_ETC_FILES_AND_DIRECTORIES
  @$(call install_tree, daves_rootfs, 0, 0,
$(PTXDIST_WORKSPACE)/projectroot/etc, /etc)
endif

Yes. it made the rootfs easy to update to a later BSP.

Cheers,
Dave
