Subject: [PATCH 3/3] environment: use barebox environment from GPT partitions
Date: Mon, 19 Feb 2024 15:51:59 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20240219145159.1962618-4-s.hauer@pengutronix.de> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20240219145159.1962618-1-s.hauer@pengutronix.de>
Documentation states that the barebox environment shall be put in a
partition with GUID 6c3737f2-07f8-45d1-ad45-15d260aab24d. So far
barebox doesn't use these partitions though, so let's change that.
With this patch barebox iterates over the currently registered block
devices and searches for partitions with the barebox environment GUID.
When one is found then it will be used for the environment. The device
barebox has booted from is preferred over other devices. Also this will
current serve as a fallback only. When board code has provided other
ideas in terms of calling default_environment_path_set() then that
will be used instead.
