   9 I'm preparing support for Apalis imx6 boards in OpenWrt and I've ended
  10 up with quite huge patchset against upstream U-Boot 2018.03, so I'm
  11 trying to propose more generic way of boot process handling.
  12
  13 In OpenWrt we usually have kernel, dtbs and U-Boot boot script in boot
  14 partition with ext4fs, so for some use cases it would be handy to be
  15 able to replace some of the files in the boot partion, that's why I've
  16 added write support to the ext4.
  17
  18 I've added `set_blkcnt` environment variable which is needed for every
  19 `mmc write` command as we need to always specify size in block count.
  20 This is copy&pasted from official Toradex's flashing scripts, so all the
  21 credits for this work belongs to them.
  22
  23 Currently the rootfs location is passed via mmcblk number and the
  24 problem with this approach is that the mmcblk number for the boot device
  25 changes depending on the kernel version and imx6 SoC type.  In order to
  26 avoid such issues, use the UUID method to specify the rootfs location.
  27
  28 I've added new boot sequence, where we first try to load and run boot
  29 script defined in the new `script` variable, so the boot process could
  30 be more generic and overridden by the distro. When the boot script isn't
  31 loaded, it will use the previous boot sequence so it should be backward
  32 compatible.
  33
  34 For the recovery purposes and better end user experience I've added boot
  35 from SDP as the last boot command if every other boot option fails. I
  36 plan to use SDP as official flashing/recovery procedure in OpenWrt for
  37 Apalis imx6 boards.
  38
  39 I've copy&pasted almost everything from the `f086812a mx6sxsabresd: Use
  40 PARTUUID to specify the rootfs location` commit, so credits for the rest
  41 of this patch belongs to Fabio.
