mckoan, this is booting it on bare metal, I was talking about the case of using proprietary BIOS or UEFI to boot u-boot and then load the kernel
<xypron>
Stalevar: There is a small number of boards supported natively by U-Boot. Just run grep -GHrn CONFIG_X86=y configs/.
<Stalevar>
So it won't work on generic x86 + BIOS, unlike grub or lilo?

Stalevar: you can build u-boot as EFI binary iirc , then it should run on x86 PC with EFI
<marex>
xypron: isnt that right ?
<Stalevar>
what about i368-bios?
<marex>
thats long irrelevant

hello! does someone use patman with gerrit? the default Gerrit commit-hook doesn't get along well with patman's usage of git trailers
<apteryx>
I think because patman actually abuses git trailers, e.g. the Series-changes: n\- some entry\n- another one format
<silurian_invader>
why do you want to use patman with gerrit?
<apteryx>
I'm experimenting with adding Change-Id: trailers as done by the Gerrit commit hook, for adding traceability to commits posted to a mailing list
<apteryx>
I don't actually use Gerrit
<apteryx>
just their commit-msg hook
<apteryx>
Guix uses Debbugs to track patch submissions (one series per "issue"). The availaibility of a unique Change-Id in each commit would make it possible to automatically close fully merged series
<Tartarus>
patchwork and their patch-hashing mechanism has been Good Enough most of the time
<apteryx>
I don't think Debbugs does that unfortunately; Change-Id would be tracker-agnostic
<apteryx>
would be autoconfigured by the build system, meaning users would have these added without thinking about it

marex: if you already have an EFI firmware there is no real need for U-Boot. But it is usable if you want to boot Linux via the legacy entry point.
<marex>
xypron: what about if you want a proper shell ?

marex: use the EFI shell.
<f_>
Have U-Boot be on SPI flash :D
<xypron>
The EFI shell is packaged in Ubuntu 23.10
<f_>
Or have coreboot and U-Boot as a coreboot payload :D

xypron: which part of "proper" is not clear ? :)
<marex>
xypron: U-Boot is packaged with debian for like a decade ...

https://github.com/u-boot/u-boot/blob/master/cmd/sf.c#L138 this call can fail and the return of the function will still be 0, had "sf probe" fail but succeed in a script, do I submit a patch to just check the return and bail?
<marex>
yeah
<marex>
(and maybe write a test ...)
