I will try to build those 60 images and analyze which conform to your requirements. But that will take some time.

Hello,

our policy has always been to only add an entry for an
armhf/arm64 system to the flash-kernel database if this entry
works out of the box with the default mainline u-boot
configuration for the respective device.  Users usually expect
that a system boots out of the box without having to build a
non-standard u-boot configuration and modify the default
environment if the system is listed in the flash-kernel machine
db.

I'm open to arguments to the contrary, but for now I believe that
is makes sense to keep this policy.

Having to build u-boot with an undocumented non-standard
configuration and having to modify various non-obvious parts of
the default environment (which possibly includes having to find
out the platform-specific kernel_addr_r, fdt_addr_r and
ramdisk_addr_r values for systems where they are not already
defined in the default environment) to make the system boot is an
extremely high and completely unexpected hurdle for a "normal"
user, and I believe that we would do a large part of our userbase
a misservice by including entries that do not work out of the
box.

For somebody who has the knowledge to perform all the
aforementioned steps on the u-boot side, it's usually easy to
also add a corresponding local entry to /etc/flash-kernel/db.

I'm CCing debian-arm for further opinions on the matter.

Regards,
Karsten

Thanks for reviewing.

For a board to be able to benefit from flash-kernel U-Boot must:

- be capable to load and execute boot.scr
- provide the booti command
- allow the definition of the following environment variables:
  - devtype, devnum, partition
  - fdtfile
  - kernel_addr_r
  - fdt_addr_r
  - ramdisk_addr_r

In your examples above I could not find any evidence that U-Boot cannot
be configured and built to fulfill these requirements.

For instance build

make r8a77995_draak_defconfig
make menuconfig
CONFIG_DISTRO_DEFAULTS=y
CONFIG_BOOTARGS="console=ttySC0,115200"
CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_MMC=y (this is a default value)
make -j6

Setup missing environment variables interactively and save them to MMC
and you can rely on flash-kernel for booting.

ls1088ardb_sdcard_qspi_defconfig and hikey_defconfig select
CONFIG_DISTRO_DEFAULTS=y. CONFIG_BOOTARGS has to be reconfigured.

This patch is only about providing flash-kernel for the boards. It is
not about providing U-Boot configured to match flash-kernel's requirements.

I think that even for boards for which we do not provide U-Boot as a
Debian package we should allow the usage of flash-kernel without setting
up a local override for the machine database (/etc/flash-kernel/db).

Heinrich

Hello,

many thanks for the patch.  Just to make sure that we don't run
into problems later on: do all these boards really use u-boot's
config_distro_bootcmd.h and thereby work properly with
bootscr.uboot-generic?

When looking at the defconfigs for several of these systems, I
see e.g. CONFIG_BOOTARGS settings that don't really match what I
would expect for systems using config_distro_bootcmd.h.
Three random examples:

- r8a77995_draak_defconfig:
  CONFIG_BOOTARGS="console=ttySC0,115200 rw root=/dev/nfs 
nfsroot=192.168.0.1:/export/rfs ip=192.168.0.20"

- ls1088ardb_sdcard_qspi_defconfig:
  CONFIG_BOOTARGS="console=ttyS0,115200 root=/dev/ram0 
earlycon=uart8250,mmio,0x21c0500 ramdisk_size=0x300 default_hugepagesz=2m 
hugepagesz=2m hugepages=256"

- hikey_defconfig:
  CONFIG_BOOTARGS="console=ttyAMA0,115200n8 root=/dev/mmcblk0p9 rw"
