- cmos options should be defined in the DTS. I see a node with the
name boot parameters or some such, and then in the node, there are nodes and properties, e..g
boot-parameters { console-baud { default=115200, choices={9600, 19200, etc.}} something=true (use of true or false defines this as a 1/0 choice) }
How is this an improvement over the cmos config files we have now? (I do like the file format better, but thats not an issue of putting it into the dts.)
I have always, personally, had trouble reading those files. I just don't find them to be easily comprehended. I think this new format is more readable. That said, there's no reason, as a first step, not to put the current format into dts ...
But we will need to have dts tree parsing happening as part of make config; is this ok too?
Dont we have this already?
oh, maybe we do; we run dtc when we do make config?
thanks ron
