Hi Juraj,
Hello,
I've started to work on adding F2FS support to U-boot.
After a quick search of the U-Boot mailing archives, I see that support for multiple file systems, like ZFS was already added by reusing existing GRUB code.
F2FS was added to GRUB last year, in this commit: http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/grub.git/commit/?id=71f9e4ac44142af52c3fc18... so I'd port that to U-Boot.
F2FS has also been added to the Linux kernel in version 3.8 and is licensed under GNU GPLv2, so there shouldn't be any issues with that as far as I know.
I plan to use the ZFS patch as a starting point, and reference other fs patches and recent ZFS updates when needed.
Are there any potential issues or anything else I should know before I start working on the patch?
I don't know when the ZFS port was prepared, but please keep in mind that in last 1-2 years u-boot was massively reworked:
- Kconfig migration from <include/configs*.> - all new options shall go to Kconfig - Device Model support - most notably the F2FS would require working on top of "block device" layer, - SPL/TPL rework
