Stefan Agner a0871be6c0 Bump buildroot to 2020.11-rc1 (#985)
* Update buildroot-patches for 2020.11-rc1 buildroot

* Update buildroot to 2020.11-rc1

Signed-off-by: Stefan Agner <stefan@agner.ch>

* Don't rely on sfdisk --list-free output

The --list-free (-F) argument does not allow machine readable mode. And
it seems that the output format changes over time (different spacing,
using size postfixes instead of raw blocks).

Use sfdisk json output and calculate free partition space ourselfs. This
works for 2.35 and 2.36 and is more robust since we rely on output which
is meant for scripts to parse.

* Migrate defconfigs for Buildroot 2020.11-rc1

In particular, rename BR2_TARGET_UBOOT_BOOT_SCRIPT(_SOURCE) to
BR2_PACKAGE_HOST_UBOOT_TOOLS_BOOT_SCRIPT(_SOURCE).

* Rebase/remove systemd patches for systemd 246

* Drop apparmor/libapparmor from buildroot-external

* hassos-persists: use /run as directory for lockfiles

The U-Boot tools use /var/lock by default which is not created any more
by systemd by default (it is under tmpfiles legacy.conf, which we no
longer install).

* Disable systemd-update-done.service

The service is not suited for pure read-only systems. In particular the
service needs to be able to write a file in /etc and /var. Remove the
service. Note: This is a static service and cannot be removed using
systemd-preset.

* Disable apparmor.service for now

The service loads all default profiles. Some might actually cause
problems. E.g. the profile for ping seems not to match our setup for
/etc/resolv.conf:
[85503.634653] audit: type=1400 audit(1605286002.684:236): apparmor="DENIED" operation="open" profile="ping" name="/run/resolv.conf" pid=27585 comm="ping" requested_mask="r" denied_mask="r" fsuid=0 ouid=0

Intro
=====

This is a board configuration for the apu2 platform by PC Engines.

https://pcengines.ch/apu2.htm

Since the apu2 does not have any graphical output, the default configuration
will ensure that the kernel output as well as the login prompt will be sent to
the serial port.

How to build
============

The provided defconfig creates a hybrid isolinux image that can be booted from
either an USB stick or a CD.

    $ make pcengines_apu2_defconfig
    $ make

How to write to an USB stick
============================

Once the build process is finished you will have an image
called "rootfs.iso9660" in the output/images/ directory.

Copy the bootable "rootfs.iso9660" onto the USB stick with "dd":

    $ sudo dd if=output/images/rootfs.iso9660 of=/dev/sdX bs=1M conv=fsync
    $ sudo sync

How to connect to the apu2
==========================

Connect to the DB9 serial port of the apu2 board (either directly or through a
USB adapter) with a baudrate of 115200.

For example with miniterm (part of pyserial):

    $ miniterm.py -f direct /dev/ttyUSB0 115200
