Dear All,
As a follow up from u-boot's mini-summit at ELCE 2013, I would like to once again share the new format of dfu_alt_info env variable (for those who couldn't attend).
dfu_alt_info_cleanup:
|---+-------------+-------------+---------+----------------------| | | <dev_name>: | <alt_name>, | <type> | extra params | |---+-------------+-------------+---------+----------------------| | 1 | mmc0: | rootfs, | part; | - | | 2 | mmc0: | uImage, | file, | part, dir; | | 3 | nand0: | u-boot.bin, | raw, | start, size; | | 4 | mmc0: | u-boot.bin, | raw, | start_lba, size_lba; | | 5 | ram0: | uImage, | ram, | start, size; | | 6 | ubi0: | kernel0, | raw; | - | |---+-------------+-------------+---------+----------------------| | 7 | cmd: | cmd, | cmd; | - |
Some useful info:
+ Each <type> is responsible for providing information about additional parameters (in conjunction with <dev_name>)
+ Ad 1. Extra parameters are extracted from GPT/MBR/MTD
+ Part can be given as text or number (text -> number conversion will be performed anyway)
+ Part: Ext2/4, FAT, UBI?
I'm especially interested in feedback from AM335x owners. I would like to know how UBI partitions are handled there.
