I have severals layers in my boot chain, and I want to use bootcount in severals layers to manage boot issues. If severals layers use the same variable name (bootcount) and a boot issue happen, I can't find the layer that fails. So I propose to "customize" the bootcount variable name. > I mean, we have a ton of variable names with fixed meaning, which > have been in use for nearly 2 decades - bootcmd, bootargs, > bootcount, ... > > What is wrong with the "boootcount" name? As it is "unique", I can't chain severals bootcount. That's why I propose an option to customize the bootcount name variable. I know that it's a "corner case" and that you could prefer to avoid adding another option, that's why I've proposed this option as a RFC. > Best regards, > > Wolfgang Denk Best regards, Philippe Reynes _______________________________________________ U-Boot mailing list U-Boot@lists.denx.de https://lists.denx.de/listinfo/u-boot
