Public bug reported: This is a feature request as opposed to a bug.
I would be super handy to have the following settings enabled by default in the Raspberry Pi Ubuntu u-boot package. CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_KEYED CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_DELAY_STR "delay" CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_STOP_STR "stop" The documentation for these settings is here: https://gitlab.denx.de/u-boot/custodians/u-boot- raspberrypi/-/blob/master/doc/README.autoboot Many of us using Ubuntu on Raspberry Pi are using the serial ports for connecting various devices/hats. As Ubuntu currently ships, any character received on the serial port will halt the boot process. Devices, such as GPS receivers, typically have a regular stream of output that, when attached at boot, cause u-boot to halt. By setting the above settings (or something similar) it will require a specific string to be entered to halt u-boot, instead of any character. Reconfiguring u-boot to not abort on any character is quite hard and poorly documented. ** Affects: u-boot (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1870985 Title: RFE: Enable autoboot strings by default To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/u-boot/+bug/1870985/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
