How do I customize flex-builder configuration for a custom board

[tmorrison]

I have a custom board and I cannot figure out how add a custom board to flex-builder configuration? 

Or 

Is it possible to customize the build for a development board and use that as my custom board build?

(I know I can customize linux - which is an entire other question

Find the following in the flexbuild_usage.txt file:

How to use different build config instead of default build config
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  Uer can create a custom config file named build_custom.cfg in configs directory, flexbuild will preferentially select build_custom.cfg,
  otherwise, default config file build_lsdk.cfg will be used, if there are multiple build_xx.cfg config files in configs directory, user
  can specify the expected one by specifying -f option, e.g. flex-builder -m ls1043ardb -b sd -f build_xx.cfg

Usually the similar command is ised for u-boot building using LSDK:

flex-builder -c uboot -m ls1028ardb -b qspi

flex-builder -c uboot -m ls1043ardb -b sd

See attached file.

This file is available in LSDK folder.

Hi Pavel,

Thank you, I believe I have (and read) this text file in the 'docs' directory of

the flex-builder package.

Unfortunately, it falls short in telling me how to create a custom board config

that I can use as the basis of building the appropriate .configs for things like

u-boot (which don't have a "-c uboot:custom" option)

In addition, want to build something like this:

      flex-builder -m ls1043a_rgw_custom -b sd

thanks in advance for more clarity...

Thank you Pavel,

I am most interested in U-Boot customization - I have a custom board and

need to modify - including its DTB

I will modify the code - but it is not sustainable unless I can create a

custom board profile for flex-builder to

build u-boot.
