NW 01:09 PM Software Development: RE: oe-layertool-setup.sh script seems to pull and merge when it shouldn't need to: Ok, I did. Nathan Wright

JC 08:46 PM Software Development: RE: oe-layertool-setup.sh script seems to pull and merge when it shouldn't need to: I think both of these make a lot of sense. I'd recommend reporting this to TI via the meta-arago mailing list. They should even include your name as the patch author.
Here is the last patch submitted related to the oe-layertool-setu... Jonathan Cormier
NW 07:16 PM Software Development: RE: oe-layertool-setup.sh script seems to pull and merge when it shouldn't need to: while we're at it, why let it complain about detached heads when the config file asked for detached heads? Nathan Wright
NW 06:51 PM Software Development: oe-layertool-setup.sh script seems to pull and merge when it shouldn't need to: We noticed in our pipeline setup that the oe-layertool-setup.sh script still appeared to be pulling and merging against a cached repo that had no changes. We are on ubuntu 24.
We think this fixes it...

JB 02:55 PM Software Development: RE: Does yocto support multiple config fragments?: Hi Nathan,
I just tested multiple config fragments, and everything worked for me. Here is part of the simple config file I tested.
linux-cl-ti_6.1.bbappend: Joshua Bourgeot

JC 08:06 PM Software Development: RE: Does yocto support multiple config fragments?: Hi Nathan, the config fragments are handled by a TI recipe located at sources/meta-ti/meta-ti-bsp/recipes-kernel/linux/setup-defconfig.inc
though we copied it to sources/meta-mitysom/recipes-kernel/linux/setup-defconfig.inc incase TI re... Jonathan Cormier

NW 03:09 PM Software Development: Does yocto support multiple config fragments?: We got kernel config fragments working, then we set about making more of them.
We made small fragments that were named with their purpose, like "disable-fb-console.cfg", "set-cpu-scaling-to-performance.cfg", "set-timer-hz-to-1000.cf... Nathan Wright
JB 02:44 PM Software Development: RE: Is it possible to use the u-boot binary env file?: Hi Nathan,
I have been looking into this but have been unable to add saveenv back in. I'm glad you found a work around. I will keep you updated if I do find something.
Best,
Joshua Bourgeot Joshua Bourgeot
NW 01:59 PM Software Development: RE: Is it possible to use the u-boot binary env file?: For posterity, we figured out how to restore u-boot-initial-env text file and then we placed a fake uboot.env file in place and libubootenv rebuilt the uboot.env file.
This allowed us to let swupdate believe it was passing state to ub... Nathan Wright

NW 01:50 PM Software Development: Is it possible to use the u-boot binary env file?: I see on e2e.ti.com that some posts imply there might be a way to restore use of saveenv and the binary boot.env file.
The posts do not state how to restore it though. :(
If it is possible to restore that functionality, it will ... Nathan Wright

NW 11:41 AM Software Development: RE: Managing the u-boot environemt, uEnv.txt and fw_setenv: We are testing simply placing a hook in to bootcmd via the uboot menuconfig, between load environment and booting.
Then we will just have that hook defined in our uEnv for now. It will do the work of partition selection.
Thanks! Nathan Wright

JC 10:19 PM Software Development: RE: Managing the u-boot environemt, uEnv.txt and fw_setenv: > Turns out I don't think is what I am looking for. That is for delivering a uEnv file via a swu file, and optionally not overwriting some environment settings.
Ah sorry didn't notice that.
This page describes an interface and how to... Jonathan Cormier

NW 05:40 PM Software Development: RE: Managing the u-boot environemt, uEnv.txt and fw_setenv: Excellent! Thanks. Nathan Wright
JB 05:38 PM Software Development: RE: Managing the u-boot environemt, uEnv.txt and fw_setenv: Hi Nathan,
TI has removed this functionality in the new 9 sdk, see "here":https://software-dl.ti.com/processor-sdk-linux/esd/AM62AX/09_02_00/exports/docs/linux/Foundational_Components/U-Boot/UG-General-Info.html#u-boot-environment. Th... Joshua Bourgeot

NW 09:07 PM Software Development: Managing the u-boot environemt, uEnv.txt and fw_setenv: Hello,
It appears that support for u-boot environment has been limited to uEnv.txt. We are trying to use swupdate project which wants to use the u-boot/userspace fw_setenv/fw_printenv utilities to swap which rootfs get used. What is... Nathan Wright
NW 08:51 PM Software Development: RE: suggestion: add parted and mtools to docker-pocky: Thanks! Specifying -n to identify where the tools are does work. Nathan Wright
JB 07:19 PM Software Development: RE: suggestion: add parted and mtools to docker-pocky: Hi Nathan,
The Docker-poky script uses the Crops poky docker image (https://hub.docker.com/r/crops/poky), so we don't have control over what's installed on the image.
However, Yocto does build those tools as part of the build proc... Joshua Bourgeot
NW 05:23 PM Software Development: suggestion: add parted and mtools to docker-pocky: You need them if you want to use the wic tool to inspect wic files that have fat partitions.
I attach to a running container as root and install them myself right now. It wouldn't hurt to have them in the image to begin with. Nathan Wright
