2025-07-22drivers: fastboot: Add support for SPI flash memoryAriel D'Alessandro
Fastboot currently supports MMC and NAND flash devices. Similarly, extend the support to SPI flash memories. Note that in this initial implementation, partitions on the device are not supported yet, but raw partitions can be set in U-Boot environment. To define a raw partition descriptor, add an environment variable similar to the MMC case: ``` fastboot_raw_partition_<raw partition name>=<offset> <size> ``` for example: ``` fastboot_raw_partition_boot=0x0 0x1000000 ``` Signed-off-by: Ariel D'Alessandro <[email protected]> Reviewed-by: Mattijs Korpershoek <[email protected]>

2024-04-18fastboot: introduce 'oem board' subcommandAlexey Romanov
Currently, fastboot protocol in U-Boot has no opportunity to execute vendor custom code with verifed boot. This patch introduce new fastboot subcommand fastboot oem board:<cmd>, which allow to run custom oem_board function. Default implementation is __weak. Vendor must redefine it in board/ folder with his own logic. For example, some vendors have their custom nand/emmc partition flashing or erasing. Here some typical command for such use cases: - flashing: $ fastboot stage bootloader.img $ fastboot oem board:write_bootloader - erasing: $ fastboot oem board:erase_env Signed-off-by: Alexey Romanov <[email protected]> Reviewed-by: Mattijs Korpershoek <[email protected]> Reviewed-by: Quentin Schulz <[email protected]> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/[email protected] Signed-off-by: Mattijs Korpershoek <[email protected]>
2024-04-10Merge patch series "pxe: Allow extlinux booting without CMDLINE enabled"Tom Rini
Simon Glass <[email protected]> says: This series is the culmanation of the current line of refactoring series. It adjusts pxe to call the booting functionality directly rather than going through the command-line interface. With this is is possible to boot using the extlinux bootmeth without the command line enabled. It also updates fastboot to do a similar thing.

2023-01-11fastboot: Add OEM run commandSean Anderson
This adds the UUU UCmd functionality as an OEM command. While the fastboot tool allows sending arbitrary commands as long as they are prefixed with "oem". This allows running generic U-Boot commands over fastboot without UUU, which is especially useful when not using USB. This is really the route we should have gone in the first place when adding these commands. While we're here, clean up the UUU Kconfig a bit.

2020-09-01fastboot: Support defining raw partitions without a partition tableFilip Brozovic
Add support for defining raw fastboot partitions in eMMC by specifying the offset and size in an environment variable. Optionally, the eMMC hardware partition number may also be specified. This makes it possible to e.g. update only part of the eMMC boot partition, instead of having to write the entire partition. Signed-off-by: Filip Brozovic <[email protected]>
