Port: U-Boot for BeagleBone

[Adrian Chadd]

... so how do I do a userland build of a bootloader? :-)

Does crochet have extra stuff in it to build ports with alternate
roots and install-as-user options set? Or does it now require you have
them installed before you can build images?

Thanks,


adrian
