2025-06-28doc: mention that extlinux.conf can use environment in "append"Fiona Klute
This option is very useful for A/B boot setups with read-only filesystems: Letting U-Boot fill in the rootfs (and possibly related parameters) allows keeping all boot parameters except the actual slot selection in the extlinux.conf file, where they can be updated easily.

2025-01-05doc/develop/distro.rst: Better document upstream definition of extlinux.confTom Rini
First, the "Boot Loader Specification" link has moved to a new location, so link to that directly. Second, that link does not document as much of the extlinux.conf format as I recall the old version doing at least. However, the Syslinux Project wiki is the current location of the documentation linked to in doc/README.pxe and also has a reference for SYSLINUX. Link to both of these.

2024-03-01boot: pxe_utils: skip fdt setup in case legacy kernel is bootedSvyatoslav Ryhel
Currently, if boot with extlinux.conf and do not set the fdt U-Boot will provide its own device tree. This behavior is beneficial if the U-Boot device tree is in sync with Linux, but it totally halts the booting of pre-dtb kernels (3.4 for example) since it uses ATAGs. To fix this, pass `-` in the fdt extlinux field as a signal that no tree should be used.

2022-10-11cmd: pxe: add alias devicetree-overlay for fdtoverlaysEdoardo Tomelleri
This adds keyword devicetree-overlay as an alias for fdtoverlays in extlinux (sysboot) and pxe to better follow the Boot Loader Specification [1], improves documentation around them by adding an example for both fdtoverlays and devicetree-overlay and the environment variable required for this feature. The link for the spec is updated to the current one.
