[Bug 2052693] [NEW] u-boot-starfive does not contain a postinst script to update the board after package installation

[scottfk]

Public bug reported:

u-boot-starfive distributes updates to SPL and  U-Boot, but it does not
flash them to the board.  I think it would be useful if it followed the
pattern of u-boot-sifive and included a postinst script to update the
board.

The script could look something like this.  NB:  I only have access to a
StarFive VisionFive 2 v1.3B board.  Not sure if the other revisions are
compatible with the SPL and U-Boot images in the u-boot-starfive
package:

#!/bin/sh

##

set -e

case "$1" in
    configure)
        target=""
        if grep -q '^StarFive VisionFive 2 v1.3B$' /sys/firmware/devicetree/base/model; then
            target="starfive_visionfive2"
        fi
        if [ -n "$target" ] && [ -e /dev/mtd/by-name/spl ] && [ -e /dev/mtd/by-name/uboot ]; then
            flashcp -v /usr/lib/u-boot/$target/u-boot-spl.bin.normal.out /dev/mtd/by-name/spl
            flashcp -v /usr/lib/u-boot/$target/u-boot.itb /dev/mtd/by-name/uboot
        fi
        ;;
esac

exit 0
