I did a quick review, I don't think adding this patch would break anything. The files need a proper u-boot style file header but that is easily fixed. Some of the ifdef's are a bit confusing to me but a better way to do it does not jump out at me. I can apply this to u -boot-linaro.
In the longer term it would be great if the Calxeda folks (Jason and Rob) could sign off on this and if Rob could send a patch upstream since he is the defacto u-boot pxe maintainer having sent the most recent fixed upstream. Of course this is all based on if Justin and Dave still want this functionality in or are happy with the alternative method that Jason outlines in comment #2 above. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Linaro Maintainers, which is the registrant for Linaro U-Boot. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/927781 Title: PXELINUX implementation doesn't respect dhcp ConfigFile or PathPrefix values Status in Linaro U-Boot: New Status in “u-boot-linaro” package in Ubuntu: In Progress Bug description: The part implementation of PXELINUX in uboot doesn't respect RFC5071 dhcp options: o "MAGIC" - 208 - An option whose presence and content verifies to the PXELINUX bootloader that the options numbered 209-211 are for the purpose as described herein. o "ConfigFile" - 209 - Configures the path/filename component of the configuration file's location, which this bootloader should use to configure itself. o "PathPrefix" - 210 - Configures a value to be prepended to the ConfigFile to discern the directory location of the file. o "RebootTime" - 211 - Configures a timeout after which the bootstrap program will reboot the system (most likely returning it to PXE). These have the obvious interest in being able to provide customised config and kernels at run time. Thanks.
