Package: u-boot-tools
Version: 2015.04+dfsg1-2
Severity: wishlist
If I wish to boot into, e.g. single user mode on my arm device, I find that
there is no way to set the kernel command parameter "single" other than
by mucking with bootargs_console in ways its creator did not intend.
The problem is more general, of course, than just booting into single-user
mode. For example, there is currently no clean way to set _any_ kernel
parameter
either permanently or for a one-shot test.
It would be useful to have a u-boot environment parameter that will optionally
be
passed to the kernel at boot.
Possibly, change the (sheeva plug -- wheezy)
bootcmd=setenv bootargs $(bootargs_console); run bootcmd_mmc; bootm
0x00800000 0x01100000
to
bootcmd=setenv bootargs $(bootargs_console) $(cmdline); run bootcmd_mmc;
bootm 0x00800000 0x01100000
and put my kernel command line args in "cmdline"
