From 8a41802f21cc270cb00ac7dc1263a4c136c9a31c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Michael Scott Date: Wed, 11 Mar 2015 10:02:31 -0700 Subject: fastboot: check for alias when looking up partition by name Implement an alias name check for devices where GPT limitations prevent user-friendly partition names such as "boot", "system" and "cache". Or, where the actual partition name doesn't match a standard partition name used commonly with fastboot. To set an alias, add an environment setting as follows: fastboot_partition_alias_= Example: fastboot_partition_alias_boot=LNX Signed-off-by: Michael Scott Acked-by: Steve Rae Cc: Steve Rae Cc: Lukasz Majewski --- doc/README.android-fastboot | 9 +++++++++ 1 file changed, 9 insertions(+) (limited to 'doc') diff --git a/doc/README.android-fastboot b/doc/README.android-fastboot index 5526a4343c..04411e98bc 100644 --- a/doc/README.android-fastboot +++ b/doc/README.android-fastboot @@ -50,6 +50,15 @@ buffer should be as large as possible for a platform.
