As a result I will need to update the Debian installation documentation. As I would like to do it right this time ;-), I just would like to get the confirmation that the device-specific commands, such as "run bootcmd_usb0", are an "official" interface that is going to stay in future u-boot versions, or - if they are not - get the information what is the offical method for booting from a specific device at the prompt.
We don't actually have an official specification of that at present. doc/README.distro should probably cover this but doesn't.
Suffice to say, I use those macros all the time, and I intended them to be used this way when I wrote the boot scripts. So, if I notice a change that stops them from working without extremely good reason, I'll complain.
Thanks, I'll update the Debian docs accordingly.
So then we're settled on "run bootcmd_usb" was unintended but "run bootcmd_usb0" is and must remain so if anything a slight update to doc/README.distro would be expected and we're good, right? Thanks guys!
