buildroot: Move to 2018.08

Upstream changelog:

 https://git.buildroot.net/buildroot/plain/CHANGES?id=2018.08

Set BR2_GCC_VERSION_6_X=y in all of the configs that include hostboot,
as the default has moved to GCC 7 and hostboot cannot build with a
modern compiler.

We are carrying a patch to dtc in our buildroot tree that fixes a
segfault when converting the powernv device tree. It has been submitted
upstream to buildroot (and the patch itself is upstream in dtc, but not
a released version).

Host packages updated:

  libxml2: 2.9.7 -> 2.9.8
  lz4: v1.8.1.2 -> v1.8.2
  zstd: v1.3.3 -> v1.3.5
  dtc: 1.4.4 -> 1.4.7

Shipped packages updated:

  busybox: 1.29.0 -> 1.29.2
  linux-firmware: 65b1c68c63f974d72610db38dfae49861117cae2 -> 8d69bab7a3da1913113ea98cefb73d5fa6988286
  ethtool: 4.15 -> 4.16
  util-linux: 2.32 -> 2.32.1
  dtc: 1.4.4 -> 1.4.7
  elfutils: 0.169 -> 0.171

OpenPOWER Firmware Build Environment

The OpenPOWER firmware build process uses Buildroot to create a toolchain and build the various components of the PNOR firmware, including Hostboot, Skiboot, OCC, Petitboot etc.

Documentation

https://open-power.github.io/op-build/

See the doc/ directory for documentation source. Contributions are VERY welcome!

Development

Issues, Milestones, pull requests and code hosting is on GitHub: https://github.com/open-power/op-build

See CONTRIBUTING.md for howto contribute code.

Building an image

To build an image for a Palmetto system:

git clone --recursive git@github.com:open-power/op-build.git
cd op-build
. op-build-env
op-build palmetto_defconfig && op-build

There are also default configurations for other platforms in openpower/configs/. Current POWER8 platforms include Habanero, Firestone, and Garrison. Current POWER9 platforms include Witherspoon, Boston (p9dsu), Romulus, and Zaius.

Buildroot/op-build supports both native and cross-compilation - it will automatically download and build an appropriate toolchain as part of the build process, so you don't need to worry about setting up a cross-compiler. Cross-compiling from a x86-64 host is officially supported.
