2 months ago - recovery: Walk partitions to delete recovery.bin Previously, recovery.bin would fail to delete itself if the bootrom loaded recovery.bin where there are multiple FAT partitions and the first partition does not contain recovery.bin Update the rename code to walk the partition table to find the recovery.bin file to delete.
- Enable overriding of high partition numbers Previously, the PARTITION=N bootloader config setting would only be used at power on reset or if the partition number passed to reboot was zero. Change the behaviour so that the bootloader config PARTITION property can override the reboot partition number if the reboot parameter is > 31.
- Walk the partition table if the requested partition is not bootable Previously, if the specified boot partition was not bootable the bootloader would stop and advance to the next BOOT_ORDER. If the new PARTITION_WALK option is set to 1 the bootloader will now check each partition in turn starting from the specified partition before advancing the BOOT_ORDER. This feature is intended for use with A/B systems to handle the case where autoboot.txt is missing / corrupted. This change enables the system to failover to the next available bootable partition. The autoboot.txt file is not scanned during the partition-walk phase i.e. there is no recursive processing of autoboot.txt files. This option is only supported on physical block devices (SD, NVMe, USB) and not RAMDISK. USB assumes a single high speed device, partition walks on multiple USB devices is not recommended and may cause timeouts.
- Improve keyboard handling in boot menu Try and make it more likely that we have enough time to perform key detection. Ignore mice, which were being enumerated and slowing things down.
