Is it possible to avoid interacting with uBoot ? - ScarFez - 03-24-2020 I recently placed my order for the PBP, before i realized that it may require interaction with uBoot, which can only be done using an external terminal connection with a horribly simplistic usb adapter... So my question is, is there any way to edit the uBoot configuration outside of uBoot ? I.e. disk editing? Also, would i need to rebuild and reinstall uboot every time the kernel is upgraded? I don't suppose there are any tools to manipulate uboot from linux ? RE: Is it possible to avoid interacting with uBoot ? - xmixahlx - 03-24-2020 you dont need to do any of that with a reasonable distro. Manjaro lives a one kernel life, and so does the default debian os. rolling your own debian you can have multiple kernels, edit extlinux.conf and reboot to a different kernel at will. but you dont have to. RE: Is it possible to avoid interacting with uBoot ? - ScarFez - 03-25-2020 Thanks, that helps to clarify. And the extlinux.conf is in /boot as i understand. |
