From 42cc2cffb6d550fbb21dad033d2564d4da571015 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: =?UTF-8?q?Petr=20=C5=A0tetiar?= Date: Sat, 1 Dec 2018 12:46:37 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] imx6: apalis: Make the boot process more generic MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit I'm preparing support for Apalis imx6 boards in OpenWrt and I've ended up with quite huge patchset against upstream U-Boot 2018.03, so I'm trying to propose more generic way of boot process handling. In OpenWrt we usually have kernel, dtbs and U-Boot boot script in boot partition with ext4fs, so for some use cases it would be handy to be able to replace some of the files in the boot partion, that's why I've added write support to the ext4. I've added `set_blkcnt` environment variable which is needed for every `mmc write` command as we need to always specify size in block count. This is copy&pasted from official Toradex's flashing scripts, so all the credits for this work belongs to them. Currently the rootfs location is passed via mmcblk number and the problem with this approach is that the mmcblk number for the boot device changes depending on the kernel version and imx6 SoC type. In order to avoid such issues, use the UUID method to specify the rootfs location. I've added new boot sequence, where we first try to load and run boot script defined in the new `script` variable, so the boot process could be more generic and overridden by the distro. When the boot script isn't loaded, it will use the previous boot sequence so it should be backward compatible. For the recovery purposes and better end user experience I've added boot from SDP as the last boot command if every other boot option fails. I plan to use SDP as official flashing/recovery procedure in OpenWrt for Apalis imx6 boards. I've copy&pasted almost everything from the `f086812a mx6sxsabresd: Use PARTUUID to specify the rootfs location` commit, so credits for the rest of this patch belongs to Fabio.
