From d2faad3ff31f0fab0cf280c05ee333992f7a7d27 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Martyn Welch Date: Wed, 9 Oct 2024 14:15:38 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] boot: pxe_utils: Add fallback support When configured correctly, we can detect when boot fails after the boot process has been handed over to the kernel through the use of U-Boot's bootcount support. In some instances, such as when we are performing atomic updates via a system such as OSTree, it is desirable to provide a fallback option so that we can return to a previous (hopefully working) state. Add a "fallback" option to the supported extlinux configuration options that points to a label like "default" so that we can utilise this in later commits.
