    part:efi: add bootable parameter in gpt command · cfdaf4ca
    Patrick Delaunay authored
    
    
    The optional parameter bootable is added in gpt command to set the
    partition attribute flag "Legacy BIOS bootable"
    
    This flag is used in extlinux and so in with distro to select
    the boot partition where is located the configuration file
    (please check out doc/README.distro for details).
    
    With this parameter, U-Boot can be used to create the boot partition
    needed for device using distro.
    
    example of use:
    
    setenv partitions "name=u-boot,size=60MiB;name=boot,size=60Mib,bootable;\
                       name=rootfs,size=0"
    
    > gpt write mmc 0 $partitions
    
    > part list mmc 0
    
    Partition Map for MMC device 0  --   Partition Type: EFI
    
    Part	Start LBA	End LBA		Name

    	guid:	6d6c9a36-e919-264d-a9ee-bd00379686c7
    
    > part list mmc 0 -bootable devplist
    
    > printenv devplist
    
    devplist=2
    
    Then the distro scripts will search extlinux in partition 2
    and not in the first partition.
