The current scheme that requires the kernel to be recompiled to change
kernel or other partition sizes and offsets got out of hand today (I'm
trying to debug 3 different configurations).
So I decided to implement partition tables. The partition table will go
in the params sector along with the params. I looked at redboot's
partition table, but it's not quite going to work.
I just committed a bunch of changes that gets us half way there. Look
at btflash.h and btflash.c to see the definition and use of
BootldrFlashPartitionTable.
My plan is to
- add a partition command
- modify params save the partition table in front of the bootldr
commands
- modify params eval to skip over the partition table
- add some code to read the partition table
