[U-Boot] Can i pass pass an environmental variable or argument from command line to build u-boot?
Hi !
For our project, we are trying to build the Bootloader with a Software partnumber. and i want it to be displayed on the first U-boot print..
U-Boot 2014.07 (Nov 05 2014 - 16:27:50) PN#12345678-001
I2C: ready DRAM: 256 MiB WARNING: Caches not enabled MMC: OMAP SD/MMC: 0, OMAP SD/MMC: 1 Using default environment
I was able to do this by adding the following in the boards.cfg file..
Active arm armv7 am33xx ti am335x_abb_uboot am335x_abb_uboot_npa_dev am335x_abb_uboot:SERIAL4,CONS_INDEX=4,NPA_DEV,IDENT_STRING="PN#12345678-001"
But i want to pass the IDENT_STRING from the command line to build the u-boot..the command i use is
sudo make ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=/abb/compilers/gcc-linaro-arm-linux-gnueabihf-4.7-2013.04-20130415_linux/bin/arm-linux-gnueabihf- -j8 -s am335x_abb_uboot_npa_dev_config
is there a way i can pass this argument while building the u-boot?
Thanks, Harsha

Upgrade to current mainline and you can use CONFIG_LOCALVERSION for what you want.
Thanks Rini,
We have freeze the code base of bootloader for 2014-07 main line.
What can be another alternate approach? i was looking at the make file and i see that they take everything before _config and is sorted to find all the right pieces from boards.cfg file
%_config:: outputmakefile @$(MKCONFIG) -A $(@:_config=)
i was thinking to add something which can parse the Partnumber after the _config..i am not sure if its a good approach..

Why don't you save your favorite version string into a file "localversion"? This feature is available in v2014.07.

Thank you guys.
This is exactly what i wanted.
