[PATCH 2/2] xload: be more flexible when searching for second stage bootloader.

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

 



A first stage bootloader can read fat and ext4 filesystems, and
even both can be compiled-in at the same time.
But then xload has a hardcoded fat filesystem mount option which
renders ext4 unusable.
This patch tries to mount it as ext4 if the fat attempt fails.

Then, a typical use case of an ext4 formatted filesystem
is it to be a standard linux filesystem, which contains
boot-related files in /boot. So, when searching for the second stage
bootloader, try /boot/barebox.bin after not finding it in /barebox.bin
