6.1. barebox environment

This driver provides an environment for barebox from the devicetree.

Required properties:

• compatible: should be barebox,environment
• device-path: path to the environment

The device-path is a multistring property. The first string should contain a nodepath to the node containing the physical device of the environment or a nodepath to a partition described by the OF partition binding. The subsequent strings are of the form <type>:<options> to further describe the path to the environment. Supported values for <type>:

partname:<partname>

This describes a partition on a device. <partname> can be the label for MTD partitions, the number for DOS partitions (beginning with 0) or the name for GPT partitions.

Example:

environment@0 {
      compatible = "barebox,environment";
      device-path = &flash, "partname:barebox-environment";
};
