Hy barebox guy,
I was wondering if there was a good way to check if I have a correct kernel
and/or filesystem in my partition before loading them.
If it is not the case then I will check out for valid images in tftpboot or
prompt the barebox shell.
And another question is how can i know that I am using the barebox
environment from nand flash instead of the one from a scripts?
Regards,

first try the boot command, if the kernel is not correct (ie : bad
checksum), the boot command returns and you can then launch a tftpboot
or give a prompt.
Check for example :

Thanks,
I want to know, if i am using the default environment (the that I am using
from compilation)
barebox> no valid environment found on /dev/env0. Using default environment
Or I am using the one that there is in /dev/env0
It is in the case someone break something in the NAND flash env, I want to
save again the default one.

Currently there is no way to detect that, but there is a little trick.
Put a this_is_compiled_in file into your default environment. Then
during startup you can do:
if [ -f /env/this_is_compiled_in ]; then
echo "Sorry man, you lost your environment"
rm /env/this_is_compiled_in
saveenv
fi

kernel yes rootfs no
but this not really the right way to do
the best wyay is to use bootcounter with a watchdog
so if after x times your boot is failling you can boot the failsafe or anthink
you want

in the log if see
envfs: wrong magic on
which mean you load from the builtin
Best Regards,
