These automatically define CONFIG_FS_EXT4 and CONFIG_EXT4_WRITE for you. Also relevant are the generic filesystem commands, #define CONFIG_CMD_FS_GENERIC This does not automatically enable EXT4 support for you. |

ext4load- load binary file from a Ext4 file system ext4ls - list files in a directory (default /) ext4write- create a file in ext4 formatted partition |

ext4ls <interface> <dev[:part]> [directory] For example: UBOOT #ext4ls mmc 0:5 /usr/lib |

ext4load <interface> <dev[:part]> [addr] [filename] [bytes] For example: UBOOT #ext4load mmc 2:2 0x30007fc0 uImage |

a) First load a file to RAM at a particular address for example 0x30007fc0. Now execute ext4write command ext4write <interface> <dev[:part]> [filename] [Address] [sizebytes] For example: UBOOT #ext4write mmc 2:2 /boot/uImage 0x30007fc0 6183120 (here 6183120 is the size of the file to be written) Note: Absolute path is required for the file to be written |
