Do you have a branch with both patches applied? Or maybe it is simpler to wait for the first one to hit mainline and upgrade the u-boot recipe at that time. I'm a bit concerned that the second patch will actually change the behaviour of the am335x_evm config, switching from reading the env in nand to that file in the first FAT partition. Do you want to change that? -- Alexandre Belloni, Free Electrons Embedded Linux, Kernel and Android engineering http://free-electrons.com -- _______________________________________________ meta-ti mailing list [email protected] https://lists.yoctoproject.org/listinfo/meta-ti
