Hi,

thx for answer.

My colleague found a way that he:

- converts txt script to u-boot form (by mkimage)
- converts uboot script to .o object ($(OBJCOPY) -I binary -O elf32-littlearm -B arm --rename-section .data=.rodata boot_script boot_script.o)
- then:
    extern unsigned char _binary_boot_script_start;
    setenv_hex("boot_script_addr", (ulong)&_binary_boot_script_start);
    run_command_list("source ${boot_script_addr}", -1, 0);

Seems it works OK. Thx you and also him :D

bye

Hi all,

Excuse my question if it was solved somewhere in forum, but I didn't
found an answer yet (maybe I can't find the right keywords).

I am building the uboot with yocto for imx6 board. I have started with
some freescale defaults,
edited environment for my needs, saved environment etc ... Now I want
to create a custom
"default" boot script, that will do some "heurestics", such as "look
if usb stick is present, then boot from it, else boot from emmc, etc...".
Currently I am storing that script on first partition on emmc and
loading it with ext2load.

But it has drawbacks:
- user should delete that file -> brick
- user should broke entire filesystem -> brick

I want this script to be "embedded" somehow with uboot image (which is
placed outside partition table on device), but I didn't found any doc
how to do that.
Currently I use CONFIG_EXTRA_ENV_SETTINGS for some basic stuffbut it
is unmaintainable for bigger scripts.

Any suggestions?

Thank you.

The ELCE is coming, so probably people are busy.

Please check those few suggestions, which can help you:
- you can "cat" the binaries of U-Boot and your script into one binary
- you can get the address of your script in the code with few lines:

unsigned long *ptr = (unsigned long *)&_end; - start address of your DTB

ptr += fdt_totalsize(ptr) >> 2; - start address of your script

- you can add some header with "magic code" before your script binary

- check the size limit of your u-boot binary, because your script can be broken if the output binary exceeds the size, which can be loaded to RAM by SPL.

- also check if your bigger binary will not overwrite something on the flash layout

- to execute the script at every boot, you can modify same late function, like autoboot_command in common/autoboot.c ?

- so at this point, you can check your script's magic code - if added

- run script with:

char cmd[64];

sprintf(cmd, "source %p", ptr);
run_command(cmd, 0);

If you add some logic for checking if the script is valid (e.g. header with size and crc ?), then I think you can be sure, that it will work.

Best regards,
