UEnv.txt

this is a bootscript, the file that define the boot configuration, similar to the bootloader. Unlike the U-boot, uEnv.txt is a editable text file. some of the parameters are describe in the kernel-parameters.txt

Sample settings
located in "/dev/nanda" (need to be mounted), uEnv.txt can be as follows as follows: console=tty0 extraargs=console=ttyS0,115200 hdmi.audio=EDID:0 disp.screen0_output_mode=EDID:1280x720p50 rootwait panic=10 rootfstype=ext4 rootflags=discard nand_root=/dev/sda

and from another page

autoload=no ethaddr=12:34:56:78:99:aa fdt_high=ffffffff serverip=192.168.1.130 bootargs=earlyprintk console=ttyS0,115200 boot_tftp=dhcp; tftp 0x46000000 arch/arm/boot/uImage; tftp 0x49000000 arch/arm/boot/dts/sun7i-a20-cubieboard2.dtb; bootm 0x46000000 - 0x49000000 uenvcmd=run boot_tftp

And another

fexfile=script.bin kernel=uImage extraargs=root=/dev/mmcblk0p7 loglevel=8 rootwait console=ttyS0,115200 rw init=/init mac_addr=00:AE:99:A3:E4:AF boot_mmc=fatload mmc 0 0x43000000 ${fexfile}; fatload mmc 0 0x48000000 ${kernel}; bootm 0x48000000

Kernel specific

 * console=tty

usage console=device,options where device and console are described in serial-console.txt.


 * root= /dev/XXXX *

root file to boot location. change XXXX to desired partition. interchangebale with "nand_root="


 * rootwait

Wait (indefinitely) for root device to show up. (e.g. USB and MMC devices)*

ARM / Allwinner specifics

 * nand_root= /dev/XXXX

root file to boot location. change XXXX to desired partition


 * rootfstype=ext4

rootfs partition type. usually ext4, but need to be change to the coresponding partition type.

To Be Completed....

WIP, that's why it is still a mess
