[Buildroot] [PATCH] clearfog: bump kernel and bootloader

Baruch Siach baruch at tkos.co.il
Mon Jun 25 16:20:17 UTC 2018


Update the kernel version to 4.17.2.

Update U-Boot version to 2018.05.

Migrate to U-Boot generic distro configuration which is easier than the
hand written boot script.

Improve the 'dd' command example in readme.txt.
