Hi,
Back when I was determining how to partition the spi-nor flash on my
embedded device, I reserved two erase blocks (each of size 65536) for
use as a barebox state partition. I wasn't using it for anything at the
time. Now I want to use it to hold bootstate information for barebox
bootchooser (for use in combination with rauc to handle system updates).
I am using backend-type="raw"; backend-storage-type="circular"; and
backend-stridesize=<0x40>;. It all works fine except that I get a
warning from barebox:
Failed to initialize desired amount of buckets, only 2 of 3 succeeded
I have "fixed" the warning with a local patch to reduce the
'desired_buckets' constant in "common/state/backend_storage.c" from 3 to 2.
My question is, how much trouble am I letting myself in for with this
local patch? I assume the state driver will only erase and update 1
bucket at a time when the buckets are full. Do I really need 3 buckets
or will 2 buckets be enough?
Best regards,
Ian Abbott.
