* bbu: Allow to refresh/repair imagesSascha Hauer2016-04-081-0/+8
| | | | | | | | | | Some SoCs allow to store multiple boot images on a device in order to improve robustness. This adds a -r option to barebox_update to indicate we do not want to make an update but instead repair/refresh an existing image. Handlers which want to support this feature must set the BBU_HANDLER_CAN_REFRESH flag during registration. Signed-off-by: Sascha Hauer <s.hauer@pengutronix.de>

|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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>

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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>

* Add support for non volatile variablesSascha Hauer2014-11-061-0/+41
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This adds (back) support for non volatile variables. Non volatile variables are variables which are stored in the environment over reboot. They are used in the same way as the global variables, but with a 'nv' command and device. The variables are stored under /env/nv/, one variable per file. Adding a nv variable automatically adds a global variable with the same name. Changing a nv variable also changes the same global variable, but not the other way round. This allows for example to configure the username as: nv user=sha; saveenv Signed-off-by: Sascha Hauer <s.hauer@pengutronix.de>

* | Add support for metadata in barebox imagesSascha Hauer2014-08-073-0/+58
|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | It's often useful to get some information about a barebox image before starting or flashing it. This patch introduces barebox Image MetaData (IMD). When enabled a barebox image will contain a list of tags containing the desired information. We have tags for: - the barebox release (2014.07.0-00160-g035de50-dirty) - the build timestamp (#741 Mon Jul 28 15:08:54 CEST 2014) - the board model the image is intended for - the device tree toplevel compatible property Also there is an additional generic key-value store which stores parameters for which no dedicated tag exists. In this patch it is used for the memory size an image supports. Since there is no fixed offset in a barebox image which can be used for storing the information, the metadata is stored somewhere in the image and found by iterating over the image. This works for most image types, but obviously not for SoC images which are encoded or encrypted in some way. There is a 'imd' tool compiled from the same sources for barebox, for the compile host and for the target, so the metadata information is available whereever needed. For device tree boards the model and of_compatible tags are automatically generated. Example output of the imd tool for a Phytec phyFLEX image: build: #889 Wed Jul 30 16:08:54 CEST 2014 release: 2014.07.0-00167-g6b2070d-dirty parameter: memsize=1024 of_compatible: phytec,imx6x-pbab01 phytec,imx6dl-pfla02 fsl,imx6dl model: Phytec phyFLEX-i.MX6 Duallite Carrier-Board Signed-off-by: Sascha Hauer <s.hauer@pengutronix.de>
