Subject: [PATCH v1 07/11] siemens: capricorn: add logic to U-Boot to avoid zig-zag boot
Date: Sat, 24 Jan 2026 06:54:48 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260124055452.8799-8-hs@nabladev.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260124055452.8799-1-hs@nabladev.com>

add logic in board code for detecting the real boot
partition and set a local hush shell variable fallback
which can be used later in boot variables for detecting
a ROMbootloader fallback case.

We use the local hush shell variable, as we do not want
to save in any case the fallback variable in U-Boot
Environment, as the default Environment is may saved
in boards, which are downgraded to older U-Boot versions.

And than the board code does not run, and fallback never
gets the correct value.

Introduce also hush shell variable envvers to value "v2_"
so we can use them in Environment for running different
versions of variables between new and old U-Boot images.
