Hi Steve,
This series implements the "fastboot flash" command for eMMC devices. It supports both raw and sparse images.
NOTES:
- the support for the "fastboot flash" command is enabled with
CONFIG_FASTBOOT_FLASH
- the support for eMMC is enabled with CONFIG_FASTBOOT_FLASH_MMC_DEV
- (future) the support for NAND would be enabled with
CONFIG_FASTBOOT_FLASH_NAND(???)
- thus the proposal is to place the code in common/fb_mmc.c and
(future) common/fb_nand.c(???), however, this may not be the appropriate location....
Would you consider another approach for providing flashing backend for fastboot?
I'd like to propose reusing of the dfu flashing code for this purpose. Such approach has been used successfully with USB "thor" downloading function.
Since the "fastboot" is using gadget infrastructure (thanks to the effort of Rob Herring) I think that it would be feasible to reuse the same approach as "thor" does. In this way the low level code would be kept in one place and we could refine and test it more thoroughly.
I'm all for this approach as well if possible.
Best regards, Marek Vasut
