Cover letter [U-Boot] [PATCH 0/3] Distroboot support for DE0-nano-SoC board
Quoted 21 lines · Marek Vasut
Quoted 11 lines · Frank Kunz

This adds common distribution boot environment variables for DE0-nanos-SoC board. The current boot procedure is extended to run the distribution boot as fallback.
The SOC ROM loader scans for the SPL in the special partition 0xa2 (partition mode)
if this is not found it scans the MMC card sector 0 (raw mode), for up to four valid SPLs. When a partition table (MBR, GPT) is used with raw mode, the first SPL must not be written to the MMC and the ROM loader uses the second SPL.

CCing Dalon, he sent a series
[PATCH v7 0/7] arm: socfpga: update default u-boot environment

Can you two coordinate the efforts ? I think it'd make sense to wait for his series to reach v8 and then rebase on top of it. I would also like Dalon to do a v8 which just extracts the common env, so we can merge that first and then look into the more intrusive bits.

Cool, i can submit a v8 which just moves the env to a common location. I have reservations about the use use of raw mode while an MBR is present. ?It is definitely not an intended use, although it does work. If you like i can just merge the two patch sets into v8?

thanks,
dalon
