Re: U-Boot for Nokia RX-51 with BootMenu (updated version 2012.04)
 

Hey pali,

thanks for making it always better and better and continuation!
But one question: what is the benefit of loading bootmenu.scr always? Especially what will happen, if mmcblk0p1 is screwed (and it can not be read)?

And one more: when I poweroff (and when I do it, I do it often with keyboard out in x-term) then u-boot will load and wait for 30 s. The display is dark, so I do not notice it as I want to start again. Any chance to detect boot reason=shutdown and shorten th timeout?
Just a little personal liking request, so feel free to ignore ;)

Oh and btw, I just reread first post and checked your repo.
Could you please provide also your u-boot.bin again?
Because I merged that with kp50 kernel, so my attachboot is kp50. (I am sure it would be possible to extract it from u-boot flasher kernel, but ...) Sorry, it is there (and has already been).

If mmcblk0p1 is not valid fat partition, bootmenu script will not be read.

Benefit of loading always is that you can specify "default" menu entry which will be first in list and will be booted when timer expires or auto booted with closed keyboard.

Omap bootreason atag comes from NOLO and now u-boot can parse original atags and create its own. But there is no reason shutdown. Only ACK_DEAD which means shutdown or charger attached. And show u-boot menu in charger attached mode is usefull too.

Great to see the option to load a kernel by default.

Installed the two new packages and changed the atags.

When rebooting with keyboard closed, I still get the u-boot menu and a 30 seconds timeout. Is this expected behaviour? I would expect it to instantly load the default kernel...

Yes, this is bug. It should boot without delay. I found problem that I forgot to call "setenv bootdelay 0" if keyboard is closed. Now compiling new version.

fixed and -flasher and -bootimg packages updated.

Re: U-Boot for Nokia RX-51 with BootMenu (updated version 2012.04-2)
 

Are you sure you have updated the two packages? I still get the 30 seconds timeout, and looking at the timestamp of the packages it could be the "old" ones.

Sorry again. I uploaded it to bad location. Now it should be fixed. Download again.

Re: U-Boot for Nokia RX-51 with BootMenu (updated version 2012.04-2)
 

Yes, I can confirm the bug is fixed now.

Re: U-Boot for Nokia RX-51 with BootMenu (updated version 2012.04-2)
 

Forgive me for not seeing 'it' but whatever I change, the .item filename itself or the description inside the .item file, I don't manage to get my preferred kernel listed before the auto-added 'u-boot attached' Maemo kernel.

So the ultimate list shown and used is not alphabetically sorted or the 'first-one-in-the-list' logic should skip the first, auto-added entry.

Am I seeing it wrong somewhere ?

Thanks for the new version ! Great to still see progress on all fronts.

Re: U-Boot for Nokia RX-51 with BootMenu (updated version 2012.04-2)
 

You will have to create a symbolic link in /etc/defaults/ named bootmenu.item to your preferred kernel item file
Could be for example:
bootmenu.item -> /etc/bootmenu.d/20-Maemo5-kernel-power-2.6.28.10-power50.item
