  • 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
    Attributes
    Type GUID
    Partition GUID
    1 0x00000022 0x0001e021 "u-boot"
    attrs: 0x0000000000000000
    type: ebd0a0a2-b9e5-4433-87c0-68b6b72699c7
    guid: cceb0b18-39cb-d547-9db7-03b405fa77d4
    2 0x0001e022 0x0003c021 "boot"
    attrs: 0x0000000000000004
    type: ebd0a0a2-b9e5-4433-87c0-68b6b72699c7
    guid: d4981a2b-0478-544e-9607-7fd3c651068d
    3 0x0003c022 0x003a9fde "rootfs"
    attrs: 0x0000000000000000
    type: ebd0a0a2-b9e5-4433-87c0-68b6b72699c7
    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.

  • short strings can be used in type parameter of gpt command
    to replace the guid string for the types known by u-boot

    partitions = name=boot,size=0x6bc00,type=data; \
    name=root,size=0x7538ba00,type=linux;
    gpt write mmc 0 $partitions

    and they are also used to display the type of partition
    in "part list" command

  • code under flag CONFIG_PARTITION_TYPE_GUID
    add parameter "type" to select partition type guid

    example of use with gpt command :

    partitions = uuid_disk=${uuid_gpt_disk}; \
    name=boot,size=0x6bc00,uuid=${uuid_gpt_boot}; \
    name=root,size=0x7538ba00,uuid=${uuid_gpt_root}, \
    type=0fc63daf-8483-4772-8e79-3d69d8477de4;

    gpt write mmc 0 $partitions

  • Previously, Linux used the same GUID for the data partitions as Windows
    (Basic data partition: EBD0A0A2-B9E5-4433-87C0-68B6B72699C7).
    This created problems when dual-booting Linux and Windows in UEFI-GPT
    Setup, so a new GUID (Linux filesystem data:
    0FC63DAF-8483-4772-8E79-3D69D8477DE4) was defined jointly by GPT fdisk
    and GNU Parted developers.
