This build is compatible with PINE A64-LTS.
[dezgeg changed the original device tree patch to v4 of the patch series
"sunxi: sync H3, H5, A64 DTs from mainline Linux" submitted to the
upstream mailing list by Andre Przywara. Also install the
u-boot-sunxi-with-spl.bin binary similar to 32-bit boards
since it's now being built by the upstream build system.]

These derivations have not seen any updates since they were created in 2010,
and some of their sources have disappeared. There are upstream configs for
these boards, so these are now used, and they build correctly. I have no way
of testing them, and I don't if anyone even uses either board with Nix anymore.

u-boot only builds some architecture-specific tools, if this
architecture is selected in configuration. So a 'allnoconfig' won't
include them.
As they are pretty useful however, we'd like to have them in ubootTools.
This can be accomplished by enabling CONFIG_KIRKWOOD=y and possibly
more later.
Certain tools, e.g. compilers, are customarily prefixed with the name of
their target platform so that multiple builds can be used at once
without clobbering each other on the PATH. I was using identifiers named
`prefix` for this purpose, but that conflicts with the standard use of
`prefix` to mean the directory where something is installed. To avoid
conflict and confusion, I renamed those to `targetPrefix`.
* pkgs: refactor needless quoting of homepage meta attribute
A lot of packages are needlessly quoting the homepage meta attribute
(about 1400, 22%), this commit refactors all of those instances.

I don't own this board, but someone on IRC reported this as working (and
anyway it's practically identical to ubootPcduino3Nano since they're both
Allwinner boards)
Someone submitted conflicting (and non-complete) distro bootconfig
support for the Versatile board, so the patch needs changing, yet again.
But at least it's getting smaller.
A new regularly release. Some improvements I've noted:
- Keyboard on the pcDuino3 Nano now works without a hub.
- Ctrl-C now correctly cancels the 'sysboot' boot menu
Also, config_cmd_default.h is replaced by equivalents in the kconfig
system, so the vexpress patch needs some updating.
With this patch in place, ARMv7 NixOS can be booted in QEMU:
qemu-system-arm -kernel u-boot -M vexpress-a9 -serial stdio -sd nixos-sd-image-armv7l-linux.img -m 1024
...with all the features that boot.loader.generic-extlinux-compatible
supports, like the boot generation menu and seamless kernel upgrades
in the VM.
Instead of selecting the defconfig based on stdenv.platform.uboot,
provide different ubootFoo packages. Otherwise we couldn't easily build
U-Boots for different platforms than what we are currently running on.
All users of the ubootChooser function appear to be using only CLI tools
like mkimage, whose behaviour is not affected by the defconfig (their
build outputs are bitwise-identical). So add a separate package for the
CLI tools.
Of the removed patches, some version of sheevaplug-sdio.patch has
apparently been applied upstream (with at least mv_sdio.c renamed to
mvebu_mmc.c). sheevaplug-config.patch needs rebasing & re-testing on
real hardware.
Tested boards and input/output methods that upstream supports:
- Raspberry Pi:
- HDMI works, USB keyboard not yet supported
- Serial via the 26-pin connector (3.3V)
- pcDuino3 Nano:
- HDMI + USB keyboard (only if attached to a hub)
- Serial via the 3-pin connector (3.3V)
- Jetson TK1: RS-232 serial port only
- Versatile Express CA9 (for QEMU only): Serial via '-serial stdio'
