2018-10-08cmd: pxe: add support for FIT config selectionPatrick Delaunay
Add a way in configuration files (exlinux.conf for sysboot command) to select a specific FIT configuration. The configuration is selected with a string added after the FIT filename in the label "KERNEL" or "LINUX", using the same format than bootm command: KERNEL [Filename]#<conf>[#<extra-conf[#...]] This configuration string, beginning by '#', is directly appended to bootm argument 1 after <kernel_addr_r>. bootm [<kernel_addr_r>]#<conf>[#<extra-conf[#...]] see doc/uImage.FIT/command_syntax_extensions.txt for details Example : KERNEL /fit.itb#cfg1 KERNEL /fit.itb#cfg2 Configuration can be use also for overlay management : KERNEL /fit.itb#cfg1#dtbo1#dtbo3 see doc/uImage.FIT/overlay-fdt-boot.txt for details Signed-off-by: Patrick Delaunay <patrick.delaunay@st.com>
2018-05-07SPDX: Convert all of our single license tags to Linux Kernel styleTom Rini
When U-Boot started using SPDX tags we were among the early adopters and there weren't a lot of other examples to borrow from. So we picked the area of the file that usually had a full license text and replaced it with an appropriate SPDX-License-Identifier: entry. Since then, the Linux Kernel has adopted SPDX tags and they place it as the very first line in a file (except where shebangs are used, then it's second line) and with slightly different comment styles than us. In part due to community overlap, in part due to better tag visibility and in part for other minor reasons, switch over to that style. This commit changes all instances where we have a single declared license in the tag as both the before and after are identical in tag contents. There's also a few places where I found we did not have a tag and have introduced one. Signed-off-by: Tom Rini <trini@konsulko.com>

Use environment variable "kernel_addr_r" to indicate the location in RAM where FIT image will be stored. Use label command "kernel" to indicate which <path> the FIT image at. Signed-off-by: Wenbin Song <wenbin.song@nxp.com>

2012-09-27PXE: FDT: Add support for fdt in PXEChander Kashyap
Now DT support is becoming common for all new SoC's. Hence it is better to have option for getting specific FDT from the remote server. This patch adds support for new label i.e. 'fdt'. This will allow to retrieve 'fdt blob' from the remote server. This patch take care for the following scenarios. The usage of fdt is optional. The 'fdt blob' can be retrieved from tftp or can be available locally or can be absent. If 'fdt_addr_r' environment variable is set and 'fdt' label is defined retrieve 'fdt blob' from tftp. 'fdt_addr_r' is then passed along bootm command. If 'fdt_addr' is set and 'fdt blob' is not retrieved from the tftp pass 'fdt_addr' to bootm command. In this case 'fdt blob' will be available at 'fdt_addr'. If 'fdt_addr' is not set and 'fdt blob' is not retrieve from tftp pass NULL to boot command. In this case 'fdt blob' is not required and absent. Signed-off-by: Chander Kashyap <chander.kashyap@linaro.org> Acked-by: Jason Hobbs <jason.hobbs@calxeda.com>

2011-10-17Add pxe commandJason Hobbs
Add pxe command, which is intended to mimic PXELINUX functionality. 'pxe get' uses tftp to retrieve a file based on UUID, MAC address or IP address. 'pxe boot' interprets the contents of PXELINUX config like file to boot using a specific initrd, kernel and kernel command line. This patch also adds a README.pxe file - see it for more details on the pxe command. Signed-off-by: Jason Hobbs <jason.hobbs@calxeda.com>
