When U-Boot is built it is compiled with a set of environment variables
(and their values) built into the U-Boot binary. U-Boot can be configured
to use storage to load and/or store environment variables which can persist
over reboots. This storage could be (but not limited to) a chunk of an MMC
device, it could be in SPI, or simply a file in the device's filesystem. If
this storage-based environment is valid (checksum is verified) U-Boot will
use these values over any same values which are built-in.
By default some of the MACHINES in this BSP layer are configured to use
a persistent U-Boot environment, others are not. It all depends on what
is set in the specific defconfig file for the device found in upstream,
mainline U-Boot. This is, apparently, random.
If you want to ensure that you have access to an on-boot-device, persistent
U-Boot environment, simply add the following to MACHINE_FEATURES in your
configuration:
rk-u-boot-env
If you have enabled this feature, you now have a second choice to make:
do you want your build to include the U-Boot environment in the image or
not? The default environment, as generated by U-Boot, can be included in
the generated wic image. If it is included, then flashing the image will
also flash the default U-Boot environment variables and settings, wiping
out anything that might have been there already. If it is not included then
your device will either continue using whatever environment happens to be
there, or will not use any stored environment if the stored environment has
not been set or is invalid. The variable which governs this behaviour is:
RK_IMAGE_INCLUDES_UBOOT_ENV
By default this is set to "0", meaning that by default the image does
not contain the U-Boot environment. To enable this behaviour, set this
variable to "1" in your configuration. This variable only takes effect if
the rk-u-boot-env MACHINE_FEATURE is enabled, and has no effect otherwise.
The script:
scripts/dump-uboot-env-from-yocto-image.sh
can be used on your wic file to see the contents of the U-Boot environment
partition at build time.
