SPDX-License-Identifier: GPL-2.0+: + +Sandbox Bootmeth +================ + +The sandbox bootmeth is only used for testing. It does not provide any facility +for booting an OS. While sandbox can do all the processing before the actual +boot, it is not connected in this bootmeth. + +When invoked on a bootdev, this bootmeth pretends to find a bootflow and creates +the associated structure. + +When the bootflow is booted, the bootmeth returns `-ENOTSUPP` indicating that it +is not supported. + +The compatible string "u-boot,sandbox-bootmeth" is used for the driver. It is present +if `CONFIG_BOOTMETH_SANDBOX` is enabled. |
