* Documentation: explain new way to boot using ATAGsSascha Hauer2018-06-111-2/+2
| | | | | | | oftree -f is gone and now global.bootm.boot_atag must be set to true if boot using ATAGs is desired. Update the documentation accordingly. Signed-off-by: Sascha Hauer <s.hauer@pengutronix.de>
* blspec: add checking of optional key machine-idAndreas Schmidt2018-05-081-0/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | | | For filtering of Bootloader Spec entries, Bootloader Spec specify an optional key machine-id. By set the global.boot.machine-id variable the checking of machine-id key in Bootloader Spec entries will be activate. If the variable and key match, appropriate boot entry will be booting. If it not match boot entry will be ignore and barebox check the next boot entry. Signed-off-by: Andreas Schmidt <mail@schmidt-andreas.de> Signed-off-by: Sascha Hauer <s.hauer@pengutronix.de>

* bootm: Optionally add a root= option to Kernel command lineSascha Hauer2016-05-041-0/+14
| | | | | | | | | It becomes a common case that the Kernel is loaded from the filesystem which later becomes the rootfs. This adds a possibility to let bootm automatically append the root= option to the kernel command line. This is done when global.bootm.appendroot is true.

* Documentation: booting linux: improve wordingRobert Schwebel2016-02-101-2/+2
| | | | | | | | 'bootm' is the lowlevel boot command, in contrast to 'boot', which is more highlevel. Signed-off-by: Robert Schwebel <r.schwebel@pengutronix.de> Signed-off-by: Sascha Hauer <s.hauer@pengutronix.de>
* nfs: forward filesystem options to the kernel command lineJuergen Borleis2016-02-081-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Using NFS in conjunction with boot spec and the feature to let Barebox auto generate a kernel command line must keep the options the NFS filesystem was mounted in Barebox. This patch extends the kernel command line parameter on demand if something different than the defaults are used. The command: barebox:/ boot nfs://myhost//root expands to the kernel command line: nfsroot=myhost:/root,v3,tcp while the command: barebox:/ boot nfs://myhost:2049//root expands now to the kernel command line: nfsroot=myhost:/root,v3,tcp,mountport=2049,port=2049 Signed-off-by: Juergen Borleis <jbe@pengutronix.de> Signed-off-by: Sascha Hauer <s.hauer@pengutronix.de>
* blspec: Automatically append rootargSascha Hauer2015-06-181-0/+7
| | | | | | | | | | | This patch makes it possible to automatically add a suitable root= option for booting Linux from the same filesystem on which the bootspec entry has been found. This adds an additional 'linux-appendroot' option to bootspec which if set to 'true' will cause barebox to automatically add a root= option. This currently works for NFS, UBIFS and regular block devices like ATA, SD/MMC using the root=PARTUUID= mechanism. Signed-off-by: Sascha Hauer <s.hauer@pengutronix.de>
