Hi everybody,
the current built-in environment in most i.MX boards is very similar. Even if I always thought that the default environemt is something that the user want always customize, I see from all you submitters the not hidden desire to have such a common default environment for all boards. At least, for i.MX boards. Checking in the board configuration files, I see at least the following boards that hase "quite" the same built-in environment:
I'm working on building a common set environment based on the work by Stephen Warren for tegra, that would provide for a very usable experience.
Its the next step forward from the distro config options. Id rather us get a solution that works across the board than something different per soc family.
Fully agree. I will check again tegra-common-post.h. As far as I have understood, the built-in environment for Tegra sets a minimal set of rules and scripts that allow to load a full environment from another script stored on a media (mmc or usb). This is also a good statement, because the environment is not so fine defined and let easy customization.
Dan has adapted the tegra form to work with the TI boards that use ti_armv7_common.h and similar so I think we should be able to get i.MX also using something similar.
