IGEP v2 boards has console as ttyO2,115200n8.
It's better so simply set this as the default kernel argument
directly in the device tree board file.

The u-boot 'bootargs' env overwrites the one from chosen ?

I just tested and U-Boot 'bootargs' has precedence over DT bootargs
but I didn't find a way to append boot parameters from U-Boot. You can
either overwrite it completely or not.

That been said I think that is a good idea to have some default
bootargs on the DT but since you can't append any boot option from
U-Boot I would also add root=/dev/mmcblk0p2 rw rootwait so at least it
will be able to mount the rootfs from the uSD/MMC.

Also, many IGEP COM Module base boards also have serial consoles that
are connected to the OMAP3 UART3 (ttyO2), so maybe is better to add
this to omap3-igep.dtsi instead of omap3-igep0020.dts to avoid future
duplication.

Best regards,
Javier

Yes. That seems to be the current case.
Perhaps we can merge
ARM_ATAG_DTB_COMPAT_CMDLINE_FROM_BOOTLOADER
and CMDLINE_EXTEND in one generic config stating
the desired bootargs behavior.

Does this sound sane?

True. Will re-send with those.

Ok.

Thanks and merry xmas,

Hi Ezequiel,

You could enable ARM_ATAG_DTB_COMPAT_CMDLINE_FROM_BOOTLOADER on
omap2plus_defconfig but just having a sane DTB bootargs default value
is better IMHO.

Best regards,
Javier

Actually, ARM_ATAG_DTB_COMPAT_CMDLINE_FROM_BOOTLOADER depends
on ARM_ATAG_DTB_COMPAT being selected and it's only compatibility
stuff for bootloaders non DTB capable.

I don't think we should add that to omap2plus_defconfig.

Agreed. I'll send a v2 with your proposed default command line.
