[U-Boot-Users] Boot Count Limit

[U-Boot-Users] Boot Count Limit

[Jeff Angielski]

Has anybody written the small application that resets the bootcount as
per the following description:

"It is the responsibility of some application code (typically a Linux
application) to reset the variable bootcount, thus allowing for more
boot cycles."

From the u-boot documentation site:

http://www.denx.de/twiki/bin/view/DULG/UBootBootCountLimit

If so, can you send it my way or tell me where to get it?  I am trying
to not recreate the wheel yet again.... :)

Thanks,

[U-Boot-Users] Boot Count Limit

Wolfgang,
The attachment seems to be for 8260 processor. What about MPC855T? Is it the
same? Or what do I have to do to access this parameter?

I didn't verify it on 8xx. But it should be about the same.
