[Filip] When I do : barebox:/ echo "this is \"quoted text\"" I get : barebox:/ this is \"quoted text\" I would have expected this : barebox:/ this is "quoted text" It looks like the escape character is not working as expected. When I have this in my boot script : bootargs="$bootargs mtdparts=\"physmap-flash.0:$nor_parts;mxc_nand:$nand_parts\"" Will this work correctly ? Will the mtdparts be passed correctly to the kernel ? (I guess the escape character will remain, so I think it might be an problem, no?) > > cheers, Marc > > -- > Pengutronix e.K. | Marc Kleine-Budde | > Industrial Linux Solutions | Phone: +49-231-2826-924 | > Vertretung West/Dortmund | Fax: +49-5121-206917-5555 | > Amtsgericht Hildesheim, HRA 2686 | http://www.pengutronix.de | _______________________________________________ barebox mailing list barebox@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.infradead.org/mailman/listinfo/barebox
