The 'pxe' commands provide a near subset of the functionality provided by
be passed to the bootm command to boot the kernel. These environment
variables are required to be set.
- fdt_addr - the location of a fdt blob. If this is set, it will be passed
- to bootm when booting a kernel.
+ fdt_addr_r - location in RAM at which 'pxe boot' will store the fdt blob it
+ retrieves from tftp. The retrieval is possible if 'fdt' label is defined in
+ pxe file and 'fdt_addr_r' is set. If retrieval is possible, 'fdt_addr_r'
+ will be passed to bootm command to boot the kernel.
+
+ fdt_addr - the location of a fdt blob. 'fdt_addr' will be passed to bootm
+ command if it is set and 'fdt_addr_r' is not passed to bootm command.
pxe file format
===============
the initrd_addr_r environment variable, and that address
will be passed to bootm.
+fdt <path> - if this label is chosen, use tftp to retrieve the fdt blob
+ at <path>. it will be stored at the address indicated in
+ the fdt_addr_r environment variable, and that address will
+ be passed to bootm.
+
localboot <flag> - Run the command defined by "localcmd" in the environment.
<flag> is ignored and is only here to match the syntax of
PXELINUX config files.
- U-boot's pxe expects U-boot uimg's as kernels. Anything that would work
with the 'bootm' command in U-boot could work with the 'pxe boot' command.
-- U-boot's pxe doesn't recognize initrd options in the append command - you
- must specify initrd files using the initrd command.
-
- U-boot's pxe only recognizes a single file on the initrd command line. It
could be extended to support multiple.
