Subject: [meta-arago][scarthgap][PATCH RFC 3/4] swupdate: add bootloader support
Date: Tue, 2 Dec 2025 16:46:00 +0530 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251202111603.1616989-4-anshuld@ti.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20251202111603.1616989-1-anshuld@ti.com>
U-Boot uses the 'bootpart' env variable to configure the rootfs for the
kernel at boot. The BACKUP_REG0 MMR is also used to store bootcount as
per U-Boot requirements[1].
After each reset, U-Boot increments the bootcount and it's reset to 0 by
the swupdate service indicating a successful boot. If the kernel panics
however (eg. if the update failed), the bootcount is never reset and
keeps on getting incremented by U-Boot until it reaches certain
threshold after which U-Boot switches to the other non-updated partition
to ensure a successful boot.
This patch adds support for the same to the final .swu image generated
by the update-image recipe.
