Hello all,
I know Barebox can load files from UBIFS. However, is there support
from booting a kernel directly from a static UBI volume?.
Thanks,

Are you using ptxdist? If so, enable BLSPEC which results in the kernel
being installed (together with a dtb if configured) in the rootfs and
barebox can boot this easily.
Best regards

Yes, but this is not what I want: I want to be able to read a kernel
from a static UBI volume, not from the rootfs. Is this possible ?

bootm /dev/nand0.ubi.whatever should do.

That easy?
This is one of the reasons why I like barebox so much better than u-boot..
I assume this will just read the whole volume (as opposed to checking
the zImage size and so on). Correct?
Also will this do the UBI static volume CRC check?

The bootm code only reads the actual image size.

You read a UBI volume using the UBI code which is more or less identical
to the Kernel, so I'd assume the code does whatever is necessary,
including the crc check.
I'm speaking a bit nebulous because I never used static UBI volumes
myself.
