leomecma Posted March 23, 2018 Share Posted March 23, 2018 Someone could explain what fex "machine" does? Each board has specific machine, like machine=cubietruck. Who use this information? Uboot? Kernel? For what? Thanks, Leonardo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fex guide doesnt explain if machine is used by uboot or kernel to config some funcionality. The resultant file is like a devicetree file in that it contains hardware details. Old kernels use this to get the addresses of devices for instance. So it's mainly used by the kernel. Some U-Boots have 'script_parser_fetch' code which means that the U-Boot is also accessing details from the file. Cheers, Steven Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
