Subject: [U-Boot] Enable redundant u-boot environment for iMX6 (Yocto)
Date: Tue, 13 Dec 2016 15:06:12 -0700 (MST) [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1481666772575-276498.post@n7.nabble.com> (raw)
Hello,
I'm looking to enable a redundancy enabled "ping-pong" u-boot environment
for my iMX6 (VAR-SOM-MX6 CPU: NXP/Freescale iMX6) to ensure that if there
was system failure that there will always be a CRC checked and valid
environment available in NAND flash. I have read the documentation and
noticed that there is the available functionality of CONFIG_ENV_ADDR_REDUND
and CONFIG_ENV_SIZE_REDUND.
My questions are; how do I determine my redundant address and size? Should
they just match my original defines? I am using a custom mtd partition
sizing which I have configured by the use of a sw-description file (using
swupdate to handle the update process), will there be any issues that can be
foreseen?
Also, because I am using Yocto (I know this is outside the scope of u-boot)
would it be wise to add a patch or append file within Yocto? or simply host
this in a separate repository?
Any help would be greatly appreciated, I cannot find any in depth
documentation relating to this so I am looking for any resources available.
Regards,
Brendan
