2012-09-27PXE: FDT: Add support for fdt in PXEChander Kashyap
Now DT support is becoming common for all new SoC's. Hence it is better to have option for getting specific FDT from the remote server. This patch adds support for new label i.e. 'fdt'. This will allow to retrieve 'fdt blob' from the remote server. This patch take care for the following scenarios. The usage of fdt is optional. The 'fdt blob' can be retrieved from tftp or can be available locally or can be absent. If 'fdt_addr_r' environment variable is set and 'fdt' label is defined retrieve 'fdt blob' from tftp. 'fdt_addr_r' is then passed along bootm command. If 'fdt_addr' is set and 'fdt blob' is not retrieved from the tftp pass 'fdt_addr' to bootm command. In this case 'fdt blob' will be available at 'fdt_addr'. If 'fdt_addr' is not set and 'fdt blob' is not retrieve from tftp pass NULL to boot command. In this case 'fdt blob' is not required and absent. Signed-off-by: Chander Kashyap <chander.kashyap@linaro.org> Acked-by: Jason Hobbs <jason.hobbs@calxeda.com>

For syslinux, the initrd can be set in the append string as "initrd=<file>", so try to find it there if we haven't already set the initrd. Signed-off-by: Rob Herring <rob.herring@calxeda.com>

2011-10-17Add pxe commandJason Hobbs
Add pxe command, which is intended to mimic PXELINUX functionality. 'pxe get' uses tftp to retrieve a file based on UUID, MAC address or IP address. 'pxe boot' interprets the contents of PXELINUX config like file to boot using a specific initrd, kernel and kernel command line. This patch also adds a README.pxe file - see it for more details on the pxe command. Signed-off-by: Jason Hobbs <jason.hobbs@calxeda.com>
