[U-Boot] Booting from ext2/ext3

[Dunda, Matthias]

Hi all,

how does the implementation of the ext2 module work in u-boot?

As I see, u-boot can load the kernel from an ext2 file system using
ext2load.

Unfortunately, this command is not included in my build of u-boot. Did I
miss some compile-switch, or do I have to explicitly include ext2fs.h
somewhere? How can I enable the ext2/ext3 functionality?

Another related question is, if I can format an ext2/ext3 drive from u-boot
or how I can bring up a new image to my internal device, once u-boot is
running.

Cheers
