[U-Boot] fatload accepting wildcard in filename?

[U-Boot] fatload accepting wildcard in filename?

[Orjan Friberg]

Hi,

I came across this page http://boundarydevices.com/upgradeU.php where 
the linked Xenon "upgrade package" contains a script that does

   if fatload mmc 0 80008000 u-boot-xenon*.bin ; then
     ...

Their release is from a few years back (2008-06-11); the same fatload + 
wildcard construct doesn't work with 2011.03.  I'm trying to find out 
how this was implemented, and if it was ever part of mainline or if it 
was a local hack.  (I couldn't find it in the ml archives.)


Thanks,
Orjan

This has never been supported in mainline code.

Best regards,

Ok, thanks.  I'm going to give it a shot and see if I can come up with 
something sensible.
