Hi folks,

In future i have the need to fetch some settings (display timings, mac-addresses) from an XML file stored in some flash. This is necessary for having only one configuration space for the bootloader and the OS. The OS is VxWorks which uses this information too.

So my question, is there any support for reading XML in u-boot ?

No, there isn't, as a 'git grep -i xml' shows: XML is only mentioned in the doc/DocBook and tools/kernel-doc directories.

But since you'll need to provision the file onto the target anyway, you just need to pass it through script which will convert it into U-Boot environment variables.

Best regards, Hannes

Amicalement,
