[PATCH V2 2/3] dt-bindings: nvmem: add U-Boot environment variables binding

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



From: Rafał Miłecki <rafal@xxxxxxxxxx>

This binding allows describing a (part of) MTD device (partition) that
contains a block with environment variables. Operating system usually
needs to parse that block to read variables values that may affect
booting process & device configuration.

+title: U-Boot environment variables
+
+description: |
+  U-Boot uses environment variables to store device parameters and
+  configuration. They may be used for booting process, setup or keeping end user
+  interesting info.
+
+  Data is stored on flash partition in a U-Boot specific format (CRC32 and NUL
+  separated key-value pairs).
+
+  This binding allows specifying data location and format (default one or vendor
+  specific).
