Martin Schwan <m.schwan@phytec.de> says: This series implements a new bootmeth for RAUC A/B systems. RAUC (Robust Auto Update Controller) is a lightweight update client, providing "Safe and Secure OTA Updates for Embedded Linux". See the following links for more information about RAUC: https://rauc.io/ https://rauc.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ PHYTEC uses RAUC in its Yocto based distribution "Ampliphy" as the default way of updating embedded devices based on PHYTEC hardware. So far, the logic selecting the correct partitions and files to boot was being implemented in the U-Boot environment. While this is a straightforward way to do it, adding and supporting new platforms became somewhat tedious and is platform-specific. The introduction of U-Boot's "Standard Boot" provided a convincing alternative, promising a simpler and more portable way of booting, even for RAUC systems. This led me to implement a new bootmeth supporting RAUC A/B systems. Note, that this new bootmeth is not proprietary to PHYTEC products and is designed to work on other hardware with a RAUC A/B system, too. The bootmeth currently only supports symmetric A/B partitioning layouts. E.g. A/rescue is not (yet) supported. The partition indexes and default slot tries can be specified via configuration options. For now, the bootmeth_rauc uses a similar approach for loading the Kernel and device tree as the bootmeth_script, in that it requires a FIT containing a U-Boot script loading the desired distro. It could be possible to support booting without a script and load the Kernel and DT directly with this bootmeth, but I found the script method to be very flexible for now, in letting the distro decide what to load. The bootmeth_rauc was tested on a phyBOARD-Pollux i.MX8M Plus [1] with BSP-Yocto-Ampliphy-i.MX8MP-PD24.1.2 [2]. Supported boot devices are currently only MMC devices, but it should be possible to add SPI flashes in the future. To test this patch stack with PHYTEC's phyBOARD-Pollux i.MX8M Plus board, you need to adjust the boot files to include the boot.scr.uimg containing the distro's boot script and set "optargs" to "${raucargs}" in it. Also disable any legacyboot in the U-Boot environment and simply boot with Standard Boot: bootmeth order rauc bootflow scan -lb [1]: https://www.phytec.eu/en/produkte/single-board-computer/phyboard-pollux/ [2]: https://download.phytec.de/Software/Linux/BSP-Yocto-i.MX8MP/BSP-Yocto-Ampliphy-i.MX8MP-PD24.1.2/ Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20250604-wip-bootmeth-rauc-v3-0-f9fad913c57e@phytec.de [trini: Don't enable by default]
This patch series adds support for ZFS listing and load to u-boot. To Enable zfs ls and load commands, modify the board specific config file with #define CONFIG_CMD_ZFS Steps to test: 1. After applying the patch, zfs specific commands can be seen in the boot loader prompt using UBOOT #help zfsload- load binary file from a ZFS file system zfsls - list files in a directory (default /) 2. To list the files in zfs pool, device or partition, execute zfsls <interface> <dev[:part]> [POOL/@/dir/file] For example: UBOOT #zfsls mmc 0:5 /rpool/@/usr/bin/ 3. To read and load a file from an ZFS formatted partition to RAM, execute zfsload <interface> <dev[:part]> [addr] [filename] [bytes] For example: UBOOT #zfsload mmc 2:2 0x30007fc0 /rpool/@/boot/uImage References : -- ZFS GRUB sources from Solaris GRUB-0.97 -- GRUB Bazaar repository Jorgen Lundman <lundman at lundman.net> 2012.
