Hi,
Just wondering if anyone is working on ext4 support? (ext2ls, ext2load) I have seen ext4 support code in Grub 2, it should be easy to bring to U-Boot. Is there a license issue?
Sorry if this has been asked before, I did a search in the archive and couldn't find the answer.
Thanks, Dominic

Have you tried ext2ls and ext2load on an ext4 partition? It's been a while for me, but I seem to recall it worked. Which make sense, since I can mount ext3/4 as ext2 in userspace.
Are you trying to use any features of ext4 not in ext2 from u-boot? eg writing with journal?
thx,
Jason.

Iqbal and others at Samsung have been working on this lately. He told me just a week ago they have patches are ready for ext4fs ls, load and write with journal support.
I have no information when they are going to post their patches, though.
