boot.scr

@hexdump so i do not need to configure / compile anything? all the control of uboot is done via that armbianEnv.txt - ie i only edit that file and thats it? thanks

 

@hexdump it doesnt work at all.

@hexdump i installed latest ubuntu - armbian on sd card;

then i shrinked original partition rootfs; created now one; copied data from shrinked to the new one. And i want to boot from that new one.

 

ie if sd card was 

sdf1

now its

sdf1 (old rootfs)

sdf2 (new rootfs)

 

And i want make uboot boot from sdf2

 

thanks

 

i think

boot/boot.scr has to be also updated ?

 

setenv devnum "0"
setenv rootdev "/dev/mmcblk${devnum}p1"
 

 

i believe uboot has to be somehow recompiled to point to /dev/mmcblk0p2 instead of /dev/mmcblk0p1

uboot reads /boot/armbianEnv.txt & kernel images from the first partition marked as bootable (fdisk). Rootfs can be changed by updating armbianEnv.txt (on the first bootable partition) rootdev=UUID to boot from any partition.
