Add the option to load the bootscript with the tftp command (static IP) instead of the dhcp command (dynamic IP). For this a new function tftpb_run similar to dhcp_run, is needed. The selection of which command to use can be done with the ip_dyn environment variable, which can be set to yes or no. The ip_dyn variable was chosen as it is already in use on the imx platforms. Also edit the bootstd doc. Reviewed-by: Simon Glass <sjg@chromium.org> Signed-off-by: Benjamin Hahn <B.Hahn@phytec.de>

Script Bootmeth
|
|
===============
|
|
|
|
This bootmeth provides a way to locate and run a script on a block or network
|
|
device. It can also support SPI flash.
|
|
|
|
For a block device the file is read from the selected partition, which must use
|
|
a supported filesystem. The subdirectory to search in is defined by the bootstd
|
|
list of prefixes (``{"/", "/boot"}`` by default) and can be adjust with the
|
|
`filename-prefixes` property in the bootstd device.
|
|
|
|
For a network device, the filename is obtained from the `boot_script_dhcp`
|
|
environment variable. By setting the `ip_dyn` environment variable it can be
|
|
decided if dynamic ip (dhcp command) or static ip (tftp command) is used for
|
|
reading the file. By default dhcp is used. The file must be in the top-level
|
|
directory of the tftp server.
|
|
|
|
In either case (file or network), the bootmeth searches for the file and creates
|
|
a bootflow if found. The bootmeth searches for "boot.scr.uimg" first, then
|
|
"boot.scr" if not found.
|
|
|
|
For SPI flash, a script is read from flash using the offset provided by the
|
|
"script_offset_f" environment variable.
|
|
|
|
Some attempt is made to identify the Operating System: so far this only detects
|
|
an `Armbian <https://www.armbian.com>`_
|
|
distro. For block devices, if a file called "boot.bmp" exists in the same
|
|
directory then it is used as the bootflow logo.
|
|
|
|
When the bootflow is booted, the bootmeth sets these environment variables:
|
|
|
|
devtype
|
|
device type (e.g. "usb", "mmc", "ethernet" or "spi_flash")
|
|
|
|
devnum
|
|
device number, corresponding to the device 'sequence' number
|
|
``dev_seq(dev)``
|
|
|
|
distro_bootpart
|
|
(block devices only) partition number on the device (numbered from 1)
|
|
|
|
prefix
|
|
prefix used to find the file
|
|
|
|
mmc_bootdev
|
|
device number (same as `devnum`), set for sunxi mmc devices only
|
|
|
|
The script file must be a FIT or a legacy uImage. It is loaded into memory and
|
|
executed.
|
|
|
|
The compatible string "u-boot,script" is used for the driver. It is present
|
|
if `CONFIG_BOOTMETH_SCRIPT` is enabled.
