when using extlinux.conf is there a way to create a delay of some sort ?
<WoC>
Hard to find much info on extlinux.conf and it's format and options
<WoC>
syntax etc, pretty much nada
<WoC>
Any information would be very much appreciated
<tpw_rules>
iirc it's the same as a syslinux file mostly. there's a TIMEOUT option you can set before it selects the default boot option

<mps>
afaik TIMEOUT doesn't works if there is only one stanza to boot (at least on versions I used), and works when there are more than one boot stanza
<mps>
though yeaterday when tested booting riscv64 in qemu with EFI TIMEOUT works even with one boot stanza
<mps>
hm, I shouldn't write anything before morning coffee. my yesterday testing EFI doesn't use extlinux.conf

hi there, can someone tell me when, or how the dtb for the SPL will be built? I see in the imx8mq defconfigs that the spl/dts/dt-spl.dtb file is not to be found. With e.g. imx8mn defconfigs it is there.

cambrian_invader: apalos: neofetch, the GNOME about panel, sos-report and numerous other tools use dmidecode/smbios to collect all sorts of device information.
<pbrobinson>
WoC: delay can be added with a "timeout 20" line, and also "totaltimeout 600"
<pbrobinson>
cambrian_invader: apalos: there's dozens of tools that use this, not to mention all the proprietary support tools out there

while I'm sure it's possible to get the information elsewhere it's more straightforward to be able to provide it via smbios, it could take years to update all the options
<pbrobinson>
and smbios is the standard for providing this information for a lot of this information and is also the default on ServerReady aarch64 systems so it's not as simple as assuming the arch
<pbrobinson>
like in the article that apalos linked, it wasn't just neofetch but also the gnome about, end users don't care, they just want stuff to work
<WoC>
Than ks, appreciated
<WoC>
would that be 20 seconds ?
<WoC>
or some fraction of seconds ?
<WoC>
I guess I can try it
<pbrobinson>
WoC: 20 seconds I believe

Doesn't look like it worked for me, is there something different for an actual delay ? <pbrobinson>
<WoC>
as in a pause
<WoC>
or could it be some issues with me using it in extlinux.conf ?
