Subject: [PATCH v2 4/4] fs: qemu_fw_cfg: support populating environment via QEMU fw_cfg
Date: Fri, 6 Jun 2025 09:29:39 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250606072939.2082971-5-a.fatoum@barebox.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20250606072939.2082971-1-a.fatoum@barebox.org>
QEMU fw_cfg allows passing through user defined key/values, which is
more powerful than what we currently have with sandbox as it allows
passing arbitrary files without having to mess with block devices and
their alignment.
All the added files are already available in the QEMU fw_cfg file system,
but for added convenience, let's map all files under a opt/org.barebox.env
directory to the environment of the running barebox image, thereby
allowing configuring barebox easily from the outside, e.g.
pytest --env nv/boot.default=fit --env boot/fit=@boot.sh
Will boot, after coundown, whatever is in the boot.sh script in the
working directory of QEMU.
