Redboot supports storing the FIS directory and the RedBoot
|
|
configuration information in the same block of flash memory. This is
|
|
not the most common RedBoot configuration, but it is used on
|
|
commercially available boards supported by the kernel.
|
|
|
|
A recent patch to mtd/redboot.c (http://lkml.org/lkml/2006/3/20/410)
|
|
which corrected the skipping of deleted table entries has exposed the
|
|
latent problem of the kernel redboot parser running off the end of the
|
|
FIS directory and interpreting the RedBoot configuration information
|
|
as table entries.
|
|
|
|
This patch terminates the table parsing when the first truly empty
|
|
entry is found (table entry deletion only clears the first byte of the
|
|
name, so two cleared bytes in a row indicates the end of the table),
|
|
thereby supporting the combined redboot FIS directory and RedBoot
|
|
configuration information flash layout scenario.
