Subject: [U-Boot] [PATCH] allow config_distro_bootcmd to pass uuid to extlinux.conf
Date: Sun, 14 Dec 2014 14:52:16 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <548DA420.1030306@gmail.com> (raw)
Set ptuuid and fsuuid variables to the partition / filesystem
where we found extlinux.conf which allows us to use a replaceable
parameter in the append line in extlinux.conf like this
append root=PARTUUID=${ptuuid}
this means we never have to hardcode a root=/dev/mmcblk0p1 type path
anywhere.

Since the uuids are only looked for after we've already found extlinux.conf
there's little cost/risk to making them available.
I realise that assuming extlinux.conf is on the root partition isn't perfect
but for the common case where it will be, there are many advantages to
this.
