| U-Boot supports access of both ext2 and ext4 filesystems, either in read-only
 | |
| mode or in read-write mode.
 | |
| 
 | |
| First, to enable support for both ext4 (and, automatically, ext2 as well),
 | |
| but without selecting the corresponding commands, enable one of the following:
 | |
| 
 | |
|   CONFIG_FS_EXT4	(for read-only)
 | |
|   CONFIG_EXT4_WRITE	(for read-write)
 | |
| 
 | |
| Next, to select the ext2-related commands:
 | |
| 
 | |
|   * ext2ls
 | |
|   * ext2load
 | |
| 
 | |
| or ext4-related commands:
 | |
| 
 | |
|   * ext4size
 | |
|   * ext4ls
 | |
|   * ext4load
 | |
| 
 | |
| use one or both of:
 | |
| 
 | |
|   CONFIG_CMD_EXT2
 | |
|   CONFIG_CMD_EXT4
 | |
| 
 | |
| Selecting either of the above automatically selects CONFIG_FS_EXT4 if it
 | |
| wasn't enabled already.
 | |
| 
 | |
| In addition, to get the write access command "ext4write", enable:
 | |
| 
 | |
|   CONFIG_CMD_EXT4_WRITE
 | |
| 
 | |
| which automatically selects CONFIG_EXT4_WRITE if it wasn't defined
 | |
| already.
 | |
| 
 | |
| Also relevant are the generic filesystem commands, selected by:
 | |
| 
 | |
|   CONFIG_CMD_FS_GENERIC
 | |
| 
 | |
| This does not automatically enable EXT4 support for you, you still need
 | |
| to do that yourself.
 | |
| 
 | |
| Some sample commands to test ext4 support:
 | |
| 
 | |
| 1. Check that the commands can be seen in the output of U-Boot help:
 | |
| 
 | |
| 	UBOOT #help
 | |
| 	...
 | |
| 	ext4load- load binary file from a Ext4 file system
 | |
| 	ext4ls  - list files in a directory (default /)
 | |
| 	ext4size - determine a file's size
 | |
| 	ext4write- create a file in ext4 formatted partition
 | |
| 	...
 | |
| 
 | |
| 2. To list the files in an ext4-formatted partition, run:
 | |
| 
 | |
| 	ext4ls <interface> <dev[:part]> [directory]
 | |
| 
 | |
| 	For example:
 | |
| 	UBOOT #ext4ls mmc 0:5 /usr/lib
 | |
| 
 | |
| 3. To read and load a file from an ext4-formatted partition to RAM, run:
 | |
| 
 | |
| 	ext4load <interface> <dev[:part]> [addr] [filename] [bytes]
 | |
| 
 | |
| 	For example:
 | |
| 	UBOOT #ext4load mmc 2:2 0x30007fc0 uImage
 | |
| 
 | |
| 4. To write a file to an ext4-formatted partition.
 | |
| 
 | |
| 	a) First load a file to RAM at a particular address for example 0x30007fc0.
 | |
| 	Now execute ext4write command:
 | |
| 	ext4write <interface> <dev[:part]> [filename] [Address] [sizebytes]
 | |
| 
 | |
| 	For example:
 | |
| 	UBOOT #ext4write mmc 2:2 /boot/uImage 0x30007fc0 6183120
 | |
| 	(here 6183120 is the size of the file to be written)
 | |
| 	Note: Absolute path is required for the file to be written
